Nov Sleevers... What's Your Status?

Ok everyone... I was sleeved on Nov 12th, and weighed 240.

My first week I lost 10 pds and my second another 10... Which was Awesome!!!

But since then "0" WTFudge is going on! :-(

This is my sample menu:

B: 1 EGG OR 5OZ Protein shake

L: 4 SHRIMP OR 2OZ TUNA

D: 2OZ SALMON OR 1/4 CRAB meat

SNACK: cheese STICK OR 5OZ Protein Shake

I'm tracking my calories and I am under 300 - 350 max.

What is wrong???

Anyone else struggling???

Is this normal???

Its just a stall .... you are doing everything right. I think increasing your calories was a good move considering how active you are. At my 3 months I gained 4lbs overnight .... took a deep breath stayed off the scale for a week and dropped that gain a week later and got the momentum going to lose another 5lbs the week after! If you are really concerned get the tape measurer out - you will lose inches while the scale may not reflect this. Also round TOM you may see a water weight gain - goodluck and keep it up!

Your not eating enough you should be taking in between 600 and 800 calories especially if your working out.

I was sleeved Nov 6 and have done really well so far, a couple weeks of stalls but they would pass in a week. My Nut said I'm above the curve in weightloss (49 lbs) for my body but over last weekend I had a bridal shower and family stay with me. I ended up with a 2 lb. gain. It was a real wake up call for me. I was grazing all weekend! I am getting back on track with food. It's funny... 4 months out and still adjusting... What do Nov sleevers menus look like now?

November 28 - dropped 76 pounds!

Start 374

Current 298

Congrats, you look awesome!!!

Surgery 11/21/12 = 278

Today 03/15/13 = 219

Had the usual 3 week stall, and again at Valentine's ( choc & wine) back on track & melting again!

I, too, had the dreaded stall but it was mostly my fault. I wasn't drinking all my water and not focused on my protein. I'm back on track & I've broken my stall!!! YAY

surgery date: 11-5-12

Starting weight: 286

Current weight: 221

-65lbs! Woohoo!

Sleeved Nov 28th Highest 380 Time of surgery 329.1. Now 276.1. Still trying to figure how to eat and get all the protein in. Would love to hear how you all are doing it.

Sleeved 11/13. SW: 248 CW: 181.7

Nov. 2nd @ surgery 212 lbs. I now weigh 167. I am 5'6. I on average lose 7-8lbs. a month. I have a low BMI so I have to remind myself it's going to be slower for me. I try to keep my calories at 800-1000...I succeed in that most days but not always. I ate what I wanted to around the holidays and ate some chocolate covered strawberries on Valentines. I also stray a few days out of the month and eat something I've been craving. I want to weigh 150-155lbs.

Nov. 5th surgery. Starting weight 292; surgery weight 280. Today's weight: 217.4. I'm 5'10".

I've noticed over the last 2-3 months that I have a week where I lose like .8 lb. another 2 weeks where I lose 1.5 lbs and then a week where I lose >5 lbs. No real stall yet.

My hair is really falling out and I now have bat wings. I dropped out of plus sizes and had a near panic attack as a result! Waiting for my brain to catch up with my body.

I totally know what you are saying. I officially can't wear anything but bras from lane Bryant and I can't wear anything from torrid. I went shopping yesterday just killing time and almost had a mini panic attack in torrid because everything was too big. Never expected to have that problem!

i am extremely frustrated. i bounce between 158, and 160 and thats been for 5 weeks now. i excersise, get my water and protein, keep track in my fitness pal etc. i was sleeved on 11/19 at 201, hw 212, cw 159 (as of this morning) i am 4'10. my goal is 110. i am 4 months out. any advice girls? or consulation? ive already increased water, protein and some calories, as well as excersise.

Stick with it. Surely the stall will break. I know that must be frustrating. Think of it this way, you're giving your skin time to adjust. Trying to look on the bright side.
