Hey Guys...looking for guys w similar stats for email and chat for support. RnY 09/11 Start Weight 333 Present Weight 229.

I walk 3 times a day at about 20 minutes per. I can't do more than that at a time due to spinal issues. I have tracked my food...every day and am eating between 1000 and 1100 calories. I am now about 4.5 months post op and have gone from 430 to 360 with only about 10lbs lost in the last 30+ days. I know exactly what I'm eating but still have no clue why I'm not losing more. My diet is mostly protein shakes and vegetarian protein sources. It seems almost impossible that I am not losing at only 1000 calories which is what my nut has recommended.

Stalls are common. I am 9 months post op and following around 1,000 calories per day. I have had stalls of two months. My perspective is to remember that I am in better health today than I was yesterday due to weight loss. I am now losing about one pound per month. And I am happy with it. My surgeon (whom I consider to be excellent and privileged to have as a surgeon) explained to me that unless I become an athlete, I will always be "chubby." I very much appreciated his insights. I personally never set a goal weight. I set a goal to lower my blood pressure and cholesterol. You have accomplished a lot. I very much admire your discipline in exercise and calorie control.

I wish you and everyone in this forum great success in the weight loss journey.

Thanks. I feel my stomach had stretched. Only 5 months out. I am losing a little and I have been tempted to not eat right. I don't trust myself. The good part is most of my numbers A1C BP etc look great. My other bad habit is I gulp my liquids down vs sip. I am going to stay encouraged and get back on the wagon.
