Watch the carbs...track them with myfitnesspal or some type of tracking program. If you are working out more than before you possibly are putting on some muscle, so you can expect some gains. Make sure you are getting all your protiens and waters in. More cardio helps too. At about week 3 your body adjusts to the sleeve and holds on to the fat much harder than before. Going as low carb as you can, and getting in all your exercise, is going to get you going again.

I stalled for 2 weeks and things just started moving again as of today, finally!!! I added some yoga and a little more walking to my routine. I also started taking Fiber caplets (go figure) everyday and stopped taking Iron (my doctor recommended this). I don't eat anything with wheat in it, sugar, or beef(makes me sick). I do eat whole milk ricotta, full fat cheese, 2% yogurt, fish, Beans, shrimp, and smoothies made with spinach, fruit and yogurt. I also add ground flax seed to my food as well. Not sure what is helping (thinking it's the exercise more than anything) but I thought it would never end.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
