Hello fellow sleevers, I am in need of advice, I am almost 4 months out and have only lost 45lbs I was doing well for a good month averaging about 4-5lbs a week, but now its creeping at 1-2lbs a week. Can anyone tell me how to kick my weight loss back into high gear? I have been getting my calories, and protein in for the most part and I take all my supplements. Is this Considered a stall? Please help

That's a stall but do not let it get you down. You are losing inches even if the scale does not move. To do a little jump start go back to your liquid diet for 72 hours.

Thanks deekaspor I will b trying that starting tomorrow since I alre already had breakfast.

What did you start at and what r u at now?

I was sleeved in Feb and have lost 93lbs so far but I started at 329lbs. Now as of right now I am still losing but its really slow. You are probably like me and yearn for instant gratification. Well it doesnt work like that unfortunately. Most people get around their goal around 8-12 months. So keep this in mind, we still have 8 months to go.

For me I have to pay close attention to Carbs, Fats, and sodium. Carbs and sodium for weightloss and fats to prevent gall bladder attacks. But it seems like once you get closer to 200lbs the weightloss slows. Well thats what I notice from my massive reading of other peoples journeys

I started at 238 and this morning im still 193. Yes u r right I do kinda want instant gratification but I am happy I got sleeved its been a long time since I wore a size 16, I was probably 12 if I remember correctly, lol. Thank you for the encouragement.

What is there to complain about? 1-2 pounds per week, consistently, will ultimately get you to goal. And. like deekaspor said, you can be losing body fat content even though your weight loss is not exactly ideal. Statistically, people who lose slowly and consistently have a higher degree of success with the sleeve than those who lose rapidly. A while back I thought I had stalled, too, but then learned that I had lost 15 pounds of body fat when the scale only showed a 6 pound loss. As long as you haven't developed any bad food habits you will be just fine. Good luck!

a friend of mine started eating a bit of chocolate everyday and it kick started her weight loss again...be careful to not be like me and get addicted!

Chocolate huh thats interesting

yep and my doctor told me to eat chocolate to maintain....who knows! I know that I eat peanut M&M's like their goin' out of style.....I figure that they have protein and a bit of sugar and chocolate so their better than like a snickers or twix but i still get that chocolate fix.....five day pouch test has helped me to kick my daily habit (and i"m not joking it was a daily habit...)

4 months and down 45 is good i would love to be in ur shoes . i have lost 27lbs in the last 3 months and i have a high bmi and work out . So you are doing great .i've lost pounds 4 weeks out of the 12 . we will all make it out of the stalls eventually so keep on doing what you need and it will work out.

I'm two weeks post op and only loose about a pound a day. Some days I don't even loose. I walk a mile a day and take in roughly 600 cal a day. Today I came close to my protien goal. I don't know how to kick start more. I talk to some one who was sleeved at the same time and they are loosing 2 lbs per day. I guess I'm just down bc I m at a stand still today.

What exactly are you eating? 2 weeks out. Damn 600 calories. I was lucky to get in 300 calories. Watch your sodium and carbs. Keep your sodium at a minimum. Never go over 1000mg if you can help it. Carbs 45 seems to be my sweet spot

I know you cant eat anything yet but I enclosed some pics of my daily diet and nutritional info so you could see.

If you read Alex's newsletter from early this week (The Sleeve Newsletter), there's an article about how it's better to only lose 2-3 pounds a week. My doctor said that after the first couple of weeks, I should average about 2-3 pounds a week and that is exactly what I am doing. Some lose more than that because they are a higher BMI. I'm okay with losing slower as long as I see the scale move once some. Losing slower sometimes helps prevent sagging skin, etc. So far I've lost 48 pounds (sleeved May 3) and I'm so happy!

I have been eating a South beach chocolate bar every morning and it seems to have helped. How odd. It might be just a placebo effect on me cause I read it but at this point every little bit helps hahaha

Heres the pics. Sorry it wont let me add just by editing
