4 months, down 60. I hit a stall though No weight loss for almost a month

4 months post-op down 61...but hit a LOng stall

How much are we supposed to be eating? A cup's worth?

Haven't posted in awhile! I'm 4 months post-op and recently hit a horrible stall. I have not lost anything since the end of April. It's like my body refuses to get out of the 200s (i've been stuck at 204). Any advice? I think I'm eating TOO much. I've been hungry. I recently started a BC pill which I partly blame for the stall/hunger. I eat 870-970 cals a day....for 4 months out, I'm thinking I should NOT be eating any more than 800 a day. I eat close to 70 grams of Protein a day. I DON'T exercise consistently, but will. Does this mean my body is stopping the weight loss? Maybe i've been snacking too many? I still have 65 mpre to lose does this mean im DONE?!

Haven't been on here in a while' date=' yesterday was my two Months, down 47 since surgery and 75 from my highest weight! Currently at 230 pounds ='] hope all is well with everyone

Wow! 47!

Just wanted to check-in I'm down 37 lbs since surgery in January and feeling GREAT!

Oh' date=' and I started out at around 300-400 from week 1-4. The Protein shakes alone were around 130-160 each and I used to drink two. From weeks 4-6 I got in around 400-600. I'm halfway through week 6, and if I've exercised I'll range from 300-550ish (according to My Fitness Pal which deducts calories burned).

Hope this helps. [/quote']

Add me on my fitness pal!! My name is lovealwaysjennifer

Wow that's a lot for the pureed stage. I'm almost 6 weeks out and only just now hit 620-660 cals lol

2 slices of bacon in an omelet with cheese. First time trying bacon! ZOMGGG!

Did 31 mins on the elliptical and burned 305

5 weeks out...had complications 2 days after surgery and had a 2nd emergency surgery. Could I have lost 31 pounds this quickly and on my own? Probably not. I was at the end of my rope...I couldn't diet anymore, I needed a fixed lifestyle change. I've been nothing but happy with my decision...complications and all, I'd do it again. I do mourn food. You will get so full of something off a bite or two and WISH AND YEARN to eat more...it's a depressing feeling, you feel as if you didn't have your fill. You will get through that though if you choose to. Let this tool be a last resort...if you've truly and honestly exhausted all other diet options, then this is for you.

Im almost 5 weeks out and can have meats...

Going on 5 weeks post-op and had my first experience throwing up yesterday at school! I ate grilled chicken either too fast, or a bite or two more than I was supposed to. Omg. It felt stuck. I kept burping and had saluva. I tried to walk it off but 20 mins later threw up some foamy stuff and felt so much better. Yikes!!

4 weeks out 30 lbs

It's ok' date=' trust me that you haven't. That just means the pouch is accepting what you're putting in it. As I got further along is when I had issues with it. I would forget and start eating too fast,or chicken was too dry. There are just various reasons. So just enjoy that you haven't yet and hopefully won't. Congrats!!!

Ok!! I have eaten too fast and WANTED to throw up though or had dry chicken and also wanted and wished to throw up hahah. It's painful when you eat too fast or something feels stuck!

600 calories on phrase 2: eating mushy food♡♥♡ down 22lbs since surgery on 2/4/2013

My doc said Protein intake early on is more important than caloric intake

I've never thrown up...am a month out...is this normal? I hear everyone talking about throwing up and nausea!

Exhausted always. Even more than usual. Surgery 1/15/13. I was anemic before surgery and was tired always...so mh levels must be even worse now

I agree with you all. My family says I'm crazy and should just go and enjoy myself b/c I can only eat 3 bites anyway...but to me, eating something fried at a month out seems like cheating lol

Has it been easy keeping the weight off?

I'd also like to know. I keep hearing that EVERY rny or vsg patient gains it back after years. That can't be true that ALL patients do!

Mine were always regular...now haven't had one yet

3 tyson chicken niggets, one piece of broccli. Was so full, I almost puked. Ugh.

Carbonation expands naturally and causes bloat...think about how it'd affect your pouch!
