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

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!!

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.
