Hey guys, I'm having such a hard time getting over this hump. I started at 282 and was sleeved on 9/12/2011 a day that changed my life forever. Until now. I was stuck at 212 for the longest time, now with a back injury I'm at 220. I can only do water aerobics and nothing strenuous. I'm happy with the weight loss, but I have 40 lbs to get to my personal goal. I have done everything except fast to get over this hump. Any ideas?

Low carb - eat protein first and followed by veggies... skip the juice, bread, rice etc etc.

Drink plenty of water.

Go back to all the sleeve basics.

I dont work out so I keep my calories at around 600/carbs under 40/water over 64 oz/prot over 60. Im 8 months out and this plan works for me. Im down 165 lbs (a few of those pre op) with only about 15 to get to a normal bmi. No real stalls. I know some have higher calories/carbs ...and that may have worked but because this was the eating plan for most of the fast losing vets, I have followed it. I weigh and log every bite of food on my fitness pal. If you arent signed up.. I would! Hope this helps!

That is a lot if weight! !!...I want those results!!.what does a typical day look like??

Agreed. Decrease your calories, increase whatever activity you can, and log everything . I use MyFitnessPal too and I love it, it has really helped me.

600-700 a day in calories, plus low as possible carbs definitely works:)
