  1. Yesterday made 7 weeks and I think I have officially hit my first stall :( Can anyont give any advice on how to kickstart my weight loss? Try different foods maybe?

      I hit a stall about once a month, or I lose a pound. it is a part of the process. water, protein and watch the carbs. are you tracking everything?

      Thanks @jane13. Yea, I have an app where I literally enter everything I consume (mainly to keep track of my water intake). I've pretty much been sticking to an "Atkins" type of diet but also watching the fat content. I think maybe I'll try an extra 30 minutes of working out everyday to see if that helps.

      Did you have black coffee or was something in it?

      I added 1/2 tsp of cream and 1 sweet & low - apparently I'm ready for all that, lol

  3. This past Monday I made 7 weeks post-op. Saw my doc and was told my daily portein intake should be 65 grams WITHOUT having to resort to shakes. WTW?!?! I am geting nowhere near that amount. Is anyone else having problems getting enough protein daily? Water? I was told at least 64 oz a day which is approximately 4 bottles of water - you would think that'snot a lot, but I can barely get 3 in a day. Please tell me I'm not alone in this.

      Wow, I'm not there yet, but that does seem daunting. :)

      Im with you. Im 5 wks post op. I barely get 32oz water and my protien is around 35/40. I stopped drinking shakes because i literally cant stand them anymore. I can only eat a maximum of 4oz at a time and im craving vegetables and fruit because im only eating meat to get my protien in.

      @emilyphoenix74, seems you and I are in the same boat. This phase is a little frustrating.

    Hey Guys

    Hi group! I was recently sleeved on July 6th, 2015 and my quality of life has already started to improve! I suffered from insomnia for years and within weeks of surgery that was no longer a problem. I'm super excited for the transformation I have to look forward to! I hope everyone is having an amazing Thursday
