Hey guys. I'm a sleeve patient and I am down 100 lbs since February. Now I'm at a really bad stall and feel like I can eat so much more than I could a few months ago. Do you guys have any advice? I've been so tired and so unmotivated and I don't know what to do.

I'm tracking calories but not as crazy as I was at first... I did introduce Protein Bars into my diet...and Quest Hero bars. What kind of foods did you eat around then?

Hi everyone! I am a February 2019 sleever and I'm down 100 lbs! Yay! But now at 6 months...the scale has been going up. It's about 6 lbs higher than what I weighed at my lowest. I have been introducing new foods and I recently got injured at the gym so I've just been doing cardio... has anyone experienced this at 6 months? A stall or weight gain? Also...what were you eating at 6months? I really just want to take this time as an opportunity and not go backwards.
Thank you!!

I'm currently 4.5 months post op... I've lost 60lbs overall from pre-OP to now...and I'm at a stall. I'm finally able to drink a bit of coffee...I get all my Protein in and I workout 4 times a week and the scale wont move. I'm so disheartened...I even took a few bites of pizza today and I regret it so much. I feel like I'll never actually be less than obese...any advice and encouragement would help. Thanks so much in advance.

I seem to always get confused though.. when you measure do you tend to go by weight or volume? I've found that they're vastly different.

Thank you for this. I needed the motivation. I have gone three times so far and I'm not letting intimidation get to me.

Thank you so much for the response. This was very motivational. I've thought about doing jazzercise. I did it many moons ago for about a year but that was when I was much lighter than I am now. I have gone to the gym three times so far and your response really helped me go. So thank you. Im hitting a stall now at 10 weeks and trying so hard not to be disheartened.

Thanks for the response.... this really helped me just start to go and I've gone three times already. I am hitting a stall though and trying to keep motivated. These responses to my post have been so helpful so thank you.

I finally decided just to go (I'm at a women's gym now) and it's been okay! Still getting the hang of things.

Hi guys, I'm 8 weeks post op and still havent started legitimately exercising... I was a few miles every other day but I know I need to start going to the gym. I'm so intimidated about starting...I dont know anything about the gym and dont know what to do when it comes to getting the best results. How did you start going? How often do you go? And what exercises/machines do you use for results? I have been so headstrong about everything...but feel so scared and intimated about the gym. Any advice and support would be great. Thanks!

Congratulations!! That is so inspirational! I'm so happy for you!! Is there anything specific you did that you feel contributed to your weight loss?

Yes I just figured it out! Thank you!!!

I am almost 8 weeks post OP and everything you're dealing with, I am as well... it's been tough. I found that I like the premier caramel flavor the most and what I do is I get some Decaf hazelnut coffee (I have a keurig) and I make 6 ounces of it, put a chocolate premier shake in a blender with the coffee and some ice and it's like a light milkshake...a lot lighter on the stomach for me. I personally am still having a hard time getting my Water and Protein but am trying my best like you. One other option someone recommended to me is the GENEPRO Protein Powder. It literally has NO taste at all which I love because literally anything can make me nauseous at this point....and that protein powder packs 30 grams of protein in one tablespoon scoop...which is so helpful.

For you guys that are having a hard time getting your liquid and Protein down, I found that putting it in ice trays helps me. I am able to get ally protein in this way.

Guys... I know this sounds really gross but I am seriously struggling to use the bathroom (number 2)...I am 6 weeks post OP and I go maybe every 4 or 5 days and it is these massive boulders that I cry to get out... literally cry. I know it's most likely the Protein and the Vitamins. I need help. I dont want to take laxatives because they honestly do nothing for the impacted stool already stuck in my bowels. How on EARTH do you stay regulated? This is the worst pain I have ever had. Any advice, foods you eat to go, regiments, would be MUCH appreciated. Thank you thank you thank you.

Hey guys... I just had my one month post OP appointment and my doctor told me I have to get around 90 grams of Protein a day. I am currently 25 years old at 311 lbs (33lbs down) and I seriously cannot get all my protein in. I cant get more than 45 a day without feeling like I'm forcing it down. Do you guys have any tips? I really dont want my hair to fall out and I want to do everything I can to make sure I am being successful and I keep trying and trying to get it down and I just cant reach that goal. Every time I watch a YouTube video where someone does their "what I eat in a day 1 month post op" or something, they eat a hell of a lot more than I can and I'm not sure why! Any advice on how to get protein? I wish there was just a pill I could take.

Hi everyone, I'm three weeks post op and I wanted to know what a typical portion size is for you. I just had two poached eggs, tbsp of hummus and a table spoon of nonfat cottage cheese...and I still feel like maybe I can eat more. Is this normal? What's a typical portion for you?

Hi everyone! I am currently 4 weeks post op and was told to start my Vitamins this week. I have the Bariatric Advantage Multivitamin chewable and the Calcium chewables....to put it bluntly, I hate them. I cant even smell them without gagging. Not to mention the calcium is so spicy on my tongue for some reason. Did anyone else have this issue?? Also, does anyone just take ones that you can swallow? I swallow pills just fine and if that's an option, I would sooo prefer it! Let me know!

Hi there! I lost 9 pounds but was only required to do 1 week. I had a lot of broth (low sodium) and sugar free popsicles. Try to keep your mind busy through it!

My nutritionist says that about a half a cup is the size of my stomach so to eat that much or a little less. They were poached eggs because I'm in my puree stage.
