5 months and stalls are a way of life now! Nooo!

My body is REALLY irritating me these past 2-3 weeks. I normally lose a pound every 2 days ,even a pound a day for a few days a week.

Lately though it is staying the same for a good 3,4,5 days at a time and I haven't changed anything obvious I can think of. I eat probably around 600 calories a day, walk 2 miles daily (after an 8 hour active job), I know I haven't been getting enough Water or ALL the Protein daily for the last 3 months.(I would check my food journal but my daughter lost my notebook with the last 4.5 MONTHS of stats in it!).

I've lost 88lbs in 5 months since my sleeve, while I am stoked about the weight loss, I am floundering with the daily aspects of it. I am

getting annoyed and angry, to the point where it affects my mood sometimes. I just don't know what I'm doing wrong! Do I need MORE calories? (Obviously more water & protein but I've been losing without the min.daily amount for awhile now). Exercise more? less? Is it my PCOS? Is it because I only have a BM once a week due to laxatives cause I can't otherwise?(I've been trying EVERYTHING under the sun to have a BM a few times a week). HELP!!! What do I do???

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Yes, you need more calories. You NEED to make sure to get your Protein in. Do this and your body will adjust and gt back to losing.

I would say to bump up your calories and your Water. I bought a 2.2L (74oz) bottle that I fill with sf koolaid or crystal light or what have you. Then I take it everywhere with me. To work, in the car, etc. My goal is to finish by dinner. If my water consumption is low, not only do I stop losing, but I gain. So start drinking more!!
