It's been forever since I Posted!!! Sleeved July 8 2013. SW 241 CW: 153 - 29 lbs until my goal of 125! It's been so hard to make that scale move the las 6 months but I'm pushing now harder and it's slowly moving again. Here are a few photos.

Just amazing. You are so fit and healthy! Great work, keep it up!

I was sleeved on the 24th of July 2013. I am down 200 pounds and I feel fantastic. Getting the sleeve was the best think I ever did. No regrets whatsoever.

I've lost 70 but stall whenever I don't take in enough protien and Water. I still can't eat anything I want. My stomach is picky.

Same boat. I have about 35 or so to go but have no real food limitations. At some point you learn to eat around the sleeve. I need the rigid journalling and measuring and structure. But I feel normal so I try to eat normal and then I don't lose. Also I get my period for two weeks a month and usually don't sweat what I eat but if its going to be that long I'm going to need to discipline myself.

Yeah it's weird - even though I'm not losing people still are telling me I'm looking thinner.. I think it's still shifting and adjusting ?! Time to get a little more serious . I'm bad about my Water intake and I still like sweets and candy is a problem ( lol). If I gave up sweets and drank more water it might do the trick .

Thank you!

Any tips on making scale start moving again ? I find that if I can lose a few lbs I usually don't put them back on .. It's just losing now?!

I know I definitely need to get more Protein but almost can't choke down any more Protein Drinks ...

      tl:dr at bottom,
      I could use some advice. I went to see my dietician today (not a bariatric surgery dietician, I can explain why I am seeing her if you want to know). She knows I am going to have weight loss surgery as long as I hit the goal weight my insurance told me I need to be at. I have to be at the goal weight by June 24, 2023, in order for my insurance to pay for my surgery.
      I had a weigh in the doctor's office a couple of days ago and weighed 301, my scale at home said 302. However, on the same day, the scale at a friend's house said 313. 
      I knew I had this Dietician appointment two days later and I knew she would weigh me. I continued to weigh myself at home (after getting new batteries) and I was at 302 then 299 and today at home I weighed 303, right before my appointment, when I got to her office I was weighed and it said 313.
      I am concerned about what to believe since the doctor's office and my scale show similar numbers. I also bought a new scale today and it said 313. 
      The Dietician told me I needed to eat more protein, which honestly I struggle with. she said I needed 150 grams!!  I said are you kidding? that seems like a lot.  She used my weight to come up with this number. 
      Should I really be trying to eat enough protein for a 300-lb person or should I be eating protein for a goal-weight person (mine is 170)?   
      also, my clothing is loose like I lost the 20 lbs mine and the doctor's scale shows, and not 10 lbs like everyone else's scale shows. Also, I have always naturally been more muscular even when I was 120 lbs and did not eat any protein aside from what is in plants. 
      tl:dr- should I be eating enough protein to support a 300lb person or should I be eating protein for a "normal" sized person? AND should I trust the Doctors scale more so than the Dietician's scale?

        Hi!

        I would love to be your accountability partner. I had the sleeve in 2021, so maybe I can give you some insights.

        Please message me back, looking forward to hearing from you!
