I read many times and experienced it myself. Eat more calories and you will probably get out of the stall. If you stay low for too long your body will go into starvation mode and hold on to everything. Maybe add another "meal" or higher cal items like avocados. If you are exercising consistently you will lose inches. Historically I would work out like a crazy lady, drop inches, look better, but not drop a single pound. Now finally with my sleeve I'm doing both. I average 3 pounds a week and to be honest I am not exercising. I eat 1000-1200 calories and day in 5-6 meals, 97% clean whole foods. In the back of my mind I always remember what my nut said. I was chatting with her about my hunger levels and the number of times I eat a day 5-6. She asked "is it working", yes, then stick with it. So I remind myself if it's "working" (dropping weight) then stick with it, if not then I need to change. My 2 cents

Susan welcome, please join us. Thank you Laura, hope your recovery is going well.

Dad is having his shoulder fully replaced. He is in hospital now, I will be caring for him after for at least a week. Sorry about the stall, do you track your total calories?

Where is everyone? Busy dropping the pounds? I fell like I can confidentially say that I will no longer weigh over 200 pounds. This past week I hit 193.4 after a 4 pound loss. BUT..... I am having a hard time with cravings. A few weeks ago I was on a trip and I "indulged" in carby items that really shouldn't be on my radar like chips and white hamburger bun. Since then I have been nibbling every day. Today I did a weight check and it was higher than my official Monday weigh in. I periodically check once or twice during the week to see where I am, but try really hard not to worry about it until my Monday weigh in. I am trying not to be discouraged, yesterday I drove 330 mile by myself with my 2 kids, ate some high salt items, etc. I am telling myself its just the road trip and the stress of my dads surgery today. How are the rest of the June 9, 10ers doing? Love to see updates.

I think I can officially say I will NEVER go above 200 again. Sleeved 6/10, lost over 4 pounds last week to a low of 193. Total loss 37. I have been having carby cravings and more times than not, losing the battle. Small losses but still not stuff that's on my approved list.

I know, I'm a bit bored of the no carb thing. I was 6/10 and my next food phase meeting nov 4th when I can add starchy carbs. With the beans and Greek yo I get between 70-100 g carbs in a day. I'd say up calories first and see how that goes.

Honestly that's a lots of carbs compared to my dr.s plan. We don't add starchy carbs (bread or potatoes) until about 6 months out. We just added fruits and milk and it's only 1 serving a day. I'd roughly say you are about 700 calories or less. It might be too little. I am supposed to have fat with eat meal coming from either oil, avos, or mayo. That will bump up your calories

Typical day - varies Fage yorgurt 1 cup with a bit of agave Egg witH avocado and cheese - 1-2 eggs depending on appetite Refried beans with canned chicken and cheese Raw ahi tuna and avocado (not typical, out to dinner) Peanut butter I get hungry and I was eating 6-7 times a day, talked to nut and we decided to limit to max 6 We also talked about if it's working (weight dropping) them stick with it, if not then I need to change

Have your tracked your total calories and total protein. As weird as it sounds you should eat more. Try to get to at least 1200. Our nut mentioned that if you have too few your body will go into starvation mode and a stall will happen. I am same as you 197.2, surgery weight was 218, before 230. I've slowed but so far still losing. Only 1 stall (not really) at 207 for 4 days. I range about 900-1100 calories with 60-90g protein. I eat 5-6 times a day. I don't use protein powder.

Sorry it has taken me so long to summarize the last meeting. I was out of town again. I have attached PDF's of my Dr's nutrition info. Lots of info. We discovered that some Dr.s don't provide detailed info. Please use as a guide and follow your Dr's instructions. We also talked about goals and how they should be SMART, see attached pic. If I say I want to run a 5k in 4 weeks and I've never run before, that wouldn't be a SMART goal, not realistic. We can expand on this more later. We also talked about being on track. For example if your goal is to drop weight and you are consistently, then what you are doing is "working", if not then you need to change what you are doing. I had my first "overeat" meal on my vacation. I had my first hamburger and it was delicious. Well I ate way too much and had to run to the bathroom to toss my Cookies, the rest of the night I felt gross. I learned my lesson. I also ate a bunch of crap I shouldn't be eating. Vacation over, time to clean it all up. Next meeting August 19 6:30 pm at patio outside Corner Bakery in Lake Forest off El Toro Road in Orchard center. I may not be there but I will give some info. Hopefully after the summer is over we can meet on a more regular basis, like twice a month. WLS basics.pdf WLS phase 1.pdf WLS phase 2 and 3.pdf

10 days vacation and a 4 pound loss. I'm happy. I hit 200.2, not quite ONEderland but dang close. Any day now. I've been tracking my food on my fitness pal, some days it's hard, other days I do fine. My NUT only want us to eat 4 times a day but I'm eating 5-6.

I've been on vacations for 5 days. went on long walk in am in high humidity. Looking forward to getting some resistant e training in soon. I did my fitness pal and was surprised by the results, 721 cal and 61g Protein. So low,,, Unknown where my weight is, hoping I might hit ONEDerland when I get back home on the 18th.

I stalled for a few days but then dropped again. I don't use Protein shakes anymore. Here is my day today. 3 slice of ham wrapped around Gouda and fryed in pan with a bit of butter Cottage cheese - 2% I think Greek yorgurt and a cheese stick Beans with cheese, Greek yo and avocado I'm on soft Proteins - cheese, lunch meats, cottage cheese, yorgurt, bean, eggs, canned meats.. And fats of avocado, olive oil, sometimes butter My 2 cents is up fat and calories. You would be surprised if you eat more.

Would love FB add Meierfam01@gmail.com
