Jenn. I'm stuck too. I lost 40 pounds since surgery and 20 before. But for a month now nothing. I joined a gym and went once. I need gym clothes. Serious. My clothes are too big and it makes me feel slobbish. I'll go tomorrow and see if I can find some. I know I don't get enough water n protein. Calorie intake is about 900-1000. It's frustrating.

I'm sorry you're stuck too :( it's so frustrating, especially when you think you're doing everything right. My scale literally has not moved in 6 weeks. What if I don't lose any more? Its so depressing.

Thank you so much for your advice. I'm gonna try and up my protein and my calories. Hopefully something will kickstart me again. I think we're already friends on myfitnesspal but I've been slacking on that and I need to start keeping track again. That will probably help too! :)

Yes, we are friends on mfp.....get your butt back on there girlfriend! It really does help me keep on track. You will get past this. Just focus on what you're eating and exercise and eventually, the pounds have to come off.

Lol thank you! And I will :) They have to come off right? We can't hold enough in our belly not to. That's how I have to think anyway haha

I love clothes! But the best for your money when it comes to workout gear is walmart! Yes I said walmart :). (Ooooooowe/awhhhhhh)... Lol danskin is the brand and fits like Adidas or Nike-but affordable ($10 shirt and tights).

Good luck!

Sleeved 7/24 and have lost 27 lbs so far. My scale hasn't moved in 2 weeks either. Getting so very discouraged :( I knw stalls happen but I wasn't prepared for it to be so soon.

oh my thought i was the only one lost 21 lbs total and the scale is not moving the way i thought.
Don't worry about stalls, I am almost six months out. I have lost 101 pounds and I have had at least 3 stalls. Don't worry about the scale, look at the inches. Even though my weight stayed the same during a stall, twice I had to go to Wally world and buy a new pair of smaller jeans. I have went from size 50 to size 36.

Tell me what you have done to get 101 off in six months!!

I have followed my nutritionist instructions to the letter. When I went to solid foods, I got out my trusty kitchen scale and weighed my food. I eat two ounces of chicken, or fish and two ounces of vegetables, usually zucinni or green Beans. I usually have a Protein shake with .5 cup milk and powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury protein in my nutribullet. Sometimes I put in a half a banana. For lunch, I have turkey breast and cheese on one half a piece of flatout flatbread and I warm it on a skillet, no fat. I eat three meals a day and a mid morning snack a mid afternoon snack and a snack before dinner. My Snacks are usually a weight watchers string cheese, or hummus and baby carrots and I do like detour Protein Bars from Sams club. I seem to eat alot but I rarely finish my lunch and Breakfast is easy. I eat a good dinner and most importantly I do all the cooking. My wife is elated. She has cooked for me for 33 years and she really likes the break and I don't mind doing it for at all. I am alway looking for recipes on the internet that makes chicken and fish new and exciting. I do alot of research on food and nutrition. I'm retired so I have alot of time on my hands and my weight loss journey has become a full time job. I love that I have lost the weight and feel so good and my wife is very happy to. Also I go to support group almost every week. It really helps me to stay focused. Email me anytime if you want to know more. Good luck on your journey. Mark

Hi, I also have to have my gallbladder removed. I had my second attack (first one was 4 months ago) on my first day of vacation. I'm stable but I guess it's inevitable.

Weight is now coming off real slowly, but with the exception of the last week or so, I have been exercising regularly.
