Oh wow awesome job, thanks for the advice, i will def lower on my calories!! Sent from my SM-G900T using the BariatricPal App

I'm 5'7 and I maintain at 1600 calories a day. My mom is 5'3 and cannot lose unless she eats less than 1000 calories a day. She maintains at 1200. Generally the smaller, shorter, older you are the less calories you need. You definitely need to lower those calories to continue losing. I would suggest trying nothing but lean meats and veggies until you kickstart the weight loss again. Stay away from any forms of sugar, even sweeteners, until you've reached goal. Then have sparingly.
You've got this!

Do you have "my fitness pal" app? You input you info, how much you want to lose and it will tell you how many calories you shouldn't excess to reach that goal. It tracks you carbs, calories, sugar, activity etc. it really is an awesome tool. Oh and I just got a $40 off coupon for under armour for posting my meals for 30 days! SCORE!

You may want to check out dr. weiner's videos on youtube. he has a few that could be helpful...how to prevent your stomach from stretching after wls. preventing regain...how to have lifelong success.

Calories are likely your problem. At your age, height, and weight, you are consuming about the number of calories you would need to maintain if you are more or less sedentary.
If I were you, I'd schedule your appointment with your nutritionist and work with him/her to map out a plan for yourself. I'd also get back to journaling everything you eat and drink in a day.
Good luck!

Three months isn't a stall, it's maintenance. Unless there is something very weird going on, you need to cut down on your calories and up your exercise. If you haven't already, figure out precisely how many calories you are taking in each day and lower that by at least 200.
If you are very confident that you know precisely how many calories you are taking in (you are weighing your portions, tracking everything on MFP, not having "cheat" days or "treat" meals or taking little tastes and bites here and there) and your calories are below 1200 per day, you may want to check in with your medical team and/or get your resting metabolic rate tested.
Good luck!

Hello! All's good here, I seem to be loosing much slower now though! I had surgery March 8, was 242 day of surgery, and since I didn't have a preop diet I hadn't lost a lot of weight before... I am currently 161. I've lost 81 lbs in almost 7 months! The last 2 months I've averaged about 6 lb. a month and this month I lost 6 inches, last month only 1.... I'm 5'2 and am wearing a size 9 or 8 jeans and a med/large shirt, also I'm wearing a size medium underwear which seems so strange to me!!
I'm also going through some of the head games where I feel out of place shopping in the smaller section, but I had a cool thing happen the other day, I was looking for a blazer at a thrift store for an interview and I was trying them on in the isle (which I would have never done before, for fear of it not fitting) and some of them the buttons wouldn't close over my boob area and I was just like ugh almost!A plus size women overheard me and commented "I know what you mean". Lol So a few minutes later she comes up to me with a coat and says this is a great one, I'm not sure what size you wear though...so I thanked her and I looked at the jacket and it was a 8/10 which was the size I was trying on and needing! I just thought it was cool because it showed me how I think of myself really isn't how others see me....
Anyways sorry to blab on lol [emoji4][emoji254]

If you are having such pain as to be concerned enough about it to ask questions here, by all means call your bariatric team.
Pain is a warning sign that your body sends to your brain that something is wrong.
Don't rely on nonprofessional laypersons here on this support site to be able to give you any kind of reliable medical advice. They shouldn't and can't give such advice.
Call your team and FELL BETTER.

Hey guys, i was sleeved on March 7th, my SW was 254, CW is 203. Many say stalls are normal and Yes they are but i loose maybe 3lbs a month, I am getting frustrated and questioning myself if this was the right decision. GUYS PLEASE TELL ME IM NOT THE ONLY ONE FEELING LIKE THIS!! im going thru an emotional time and not losing weight is not helping. I Tried the 5 day pouch reset and still havent lost a 1lb.

I did not do shots after surgery but I had a huge really ugly bruise from the blood thinner shot they gave me in hospital. It took 4 weeks to finally disappear. If you are still bruised like pictures shlw, I would call my doctor. Doesn't seem right so long after the shots.

Im glad, those are great results! Yes i also went thru reflux but it has gone away slowly on itself. Keep up the work!!!
