I think those of us that had less to lose are going to find it harder to get those last pounds lost. I was stuck at 184 FOR TWO MONTHS!!!!! I know my issue is exercise. I wear a fitbit and average 5,000 steps during the day (I'm a SpEd teacher so always on the move between classrooms) and also have three kids so on the move after work as well. By the time I get home at 7:00 pm, all I can do is collapse into bed. When my daughters are at soccer, I try to walk around the track but I know once winter hits in Colorado, exercise will become harder.
I also feel this pressure to get the last 40 off before the year mark and we March sleeves are already 1/2 way there. I already feel like the honeymoon phase is over. I can eat anything (no reaction to sugar, carbs etc.) and my restriction is less. I do fine during the day because I am so busy, sometime I forget to eat. However, once the evening comes around, I graze. I'm going to try something new and set timers on my phone and only eat when the timer goes off. Hopefully this will help!
Its Ok ...I stalled for 1whole month 3 times in my journey. I am exactly 6 months post op and 4 pounds to goal.
Just keep doing what you are doing it will come off
I had my sleeve 11 days ago. Had my post op appointment today and was down 12 lbs. started my Vitamins and B12 today so I am hoping that will give me more energy. Still struggling to get enough Protein and fluids in. Each day gets better. I know you are excited. Its sure is a new life. Hardest part for me so far was giving up my diet pepsi and caffeine. Once over that hurdle it was all good.
