I agree, the food journal has been very helpful!

Thank you. I've had some very good suggestions since posting. In just the last couple days I have worked hard to increase my Water intake and oh boy...what a difference! I am so full..all day long and I feel better to. I think it's completely reasonable not to expect huge losses considering where I started. But with that said I am a proactive person therefore I just wanted to make sure I wasn't doing anything to sabotage my loss. After all, that is how I got where I am now. Never again though Again thank you for taking the time to reply. I really do put a lot of thought into what people suggest!

Well said and well spoken. Thank you!

Can I ask what kind of food did you incorporated into your diet to up your fat intake? I have my "go tos" but would love to have more options? avocado, mayonnaise, olive oil, sometimes heavy cream or butter. I use full fat yogurt, 2% milk cottage cheese and 1% milk. Keep in mind that you started off at a weight that is close to some people's "goal weight" and that you've lost 5% of your total weight. Yes I'm keeping that in mind..however I should have mentioned that I am 4' 11". According to my Dr a healthy weight would range between 98 and 140ish. I'm should also say that I am just fine with losing slow as long as I know I'm not doing anything to sabotage my opportunity.

I said this on the first page.I appreciate the suggestions. I will be trying them. It is completely understandable that with a lower starting weight I will lose slower. I can take constructive criticism but the comment saying "these post are getting more and more ridiculous" was totally uncalled for.

Excuse me for having to ask but where in my post did you read that I expected to lose 30 pounds in the first 6 weeks. That's right..no where!

Why don't you post up what you have been eating for the last week. Maybe we can spot some ways to help you.Posted what I'm eating. Let me know what you think!

Thanks. I'm am hitting the water intake hard today. Hopefully this will help.

Well breakfast is about 160 calories, protien shakes is 160, full day of Snacks are about 200, dinner is about 300. Yes I'm exercising but not as much as I should be. I'm working on that and increasing my water intake.This is why I'm concerned. I do not feel like my sleeve is working. I have had zero problems eating since my surgery. I do feel restriction, but it is short lived. Also if I increase my protien intake then I also increase my calories. I don't know what to do?

This is good to know. I have a prescription that my Dr gave my for stomach acid but haven't been taking it because I thought I didn't have it. Maybe I'm mistaking this for hunger?? I'm going to try my Prevacid! This is good to know. I have a prescription that my Dr gave my for stomach acid but haven't been taking it because I thought I didn't have it.

Hang in there. Everyone's weight lost rate is different. Are you writing everything down in a journal? Are you walking? Don't feel defeated. Maybe some modifications in what you are doing is needed to jump start the metabolism. I have heard this from one of my friends, she had the same issue. She kept at it. Changed up her exercise routine and increased her Water intake.Thank you. I'm trying to keep my head up. I posted on here I hopes to see that there is still light at the end of the tunnel. I just need to know that this slow of a loss has happened to others and they still had success.

Did you make any changes or did your body just start to get on board?
