SW 223

Surg 205

After surg 215

Today 194

I've stalled for 3 weeks looking for help! I run about 2 miles a night!

I stalled for 3 weeks, too. Had to re-evaluate what I was eating. My nut said I could eat carbs as long as I got my Protein, because I couldn't possibly eat enough in calories to not lose. But as soon as I cut out the carbs again, the stall broke. I think everyone is different. Maybe you have to bump up your calories or carbs to trick your body, then cut them out again? Most importantly, be patient and dont get discouraged. It's a learning process for every one of us.

Checking back in. Surgery day weight (12/13) 367, today 345. Down 22 since surgery, down 51 overall. I had been in a stall at 347 for all of 2013 but looks like it broke overnight as I lost 2 more finally. I am eating soft foods now. Tilapia loin was delicious and all protein! Deli meats and cheeses are so good after eating liquid and purée for the last month.

I spoke too soon, bounced back up a little the next day, remain frustratingly stalled. Gout has hit me hard today and I can't walk without crutches and I can't take my indocin NSAID. Super depressed, discouraged, and in excruciating pain.

Other people have posted about being allowed to take NSAIDs, my doctor doesn't allow it, but it seems to vary doctor to doctor. Maybe they'll make an exception since you're in pain. Don't worry about the stall and let it get you down. We all go through it. I also gained 2 lbs back, then lost them, gained and finally lost before finally stalling for 3 wks. It sounds like you need to focus more on treating the gout. Talk to your doc and see what he can do.

Don't pay attention to what everyone else is losing. It'll drive you nuts. We have our own journey to travel on. And BTW, I was sleeved 12/5 and have only lost 20. But I'm ok with that. I figure averaging 2-3 lbs a week is very healthy!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
