Frustrated

Seems like I just stopped. Ppl loosing so much so fast I have just stopped. Increased workouts increased protien decreased calories on a 600 calorie 70-80gr of protien daily what is going on

It's just a stall. How far along are you? Try increasing calories and carbs for a day or two then cutting back again...that always breaks a stall for me.

from what I understand this happens to everyone. You will lose weight hang in there!

I only weigh myself every 3 weeks. Then when I have those stalls I don't know about it. My clothes continue to get bigger, even though I shrank some in hot Water.

I hold so much emotion on what the scale says, I can be in a bad mood outwardly for hours, inwardly for 2ish days. I yell, how can I be eating like a bird and not dropping pounds?

I did kick up my exercise after 1 month, I decided the weight loss was not as dramatic as I wanted. Now I wald 3 miles every day, plus use a pedometer, that really helps, have been going to Water aerobics FAITHFULLY, 2 days a week, and a week ago I started using the bowflex.

I hear PROTIEN helps burn off pounds cause it takes our body more energy to digest, drink the 64 oz of water most days if you can. I have experienced that phenoman where a person kicks up their calories for 2 days and then reduce to what we should be doing on WLS. For me I would have to be careful what foods I used to increase calories. I do believe some foods intentionally have stuff in them that make anyone crave more, and then there is me who starts to think about potatoe chips as I type this & all of a sudden feel hungry when I' m not really. Imagine a sick puppy like me weighing in with advice!!!

Thanks everyone. This really gets frustrating I think about food more now than ever. Not to eat what to eat when to eat how to eat where to eat how much to eat on and on and on. I am 3months out will be 4mnths on the 24th, have increased work out. Will try calories for a couple of days see what will happen. Biggest fear is going through all this for nothing. 57lbs down 85 to go. Do not want to fail. B blessed

You will not fail. I thought the same way. I had stalls also but eventually the stall breaks and I lose. Even if I lose slowly i'm still happy.

You will reach your goal eventually. you may not reach your goal when u want to but you will reach it in time. so dont worry just keep doing what you are doing.

Don't worry about what other people are doing. Follow the rules, learn to live with the sleeve - these are the "lifestyle changes" everyone talks about. We are all so individual and unique, and frankly, in the end it doesn't matter if Suzy or Sally lost weight faster - it is all about getting to your own healthy life and personal goals.

I have lost over 120# - at times it seems like it was so slow.... but really, it has been incredible and has exceeded my hopes of where I would be 11 months post op. One day at a time, one pound at a time, one step at a time, you will get there!

[lbroberts2909 9]

Thanks again. One day at a time....ups and Downs I can't turn bk. B blessed
