Any February 2014 Sleevers?

[cwang2680 79]

Ok all. I was a little frustrated with this discussion board. I felt no one really cared about me. But being 3 1/2 weeks out I'm a overly emotional. So I apologize.

Now I need real help. I've been stuck/fluctuating 4 oz for 6 days. I'm angry and frustrated. I feel defeated and like surgery was a waste of my time. I'm not getting all my Protein or my Water in. I do walk 45 minutes a day. Don't know if I will today. I wasn't feeling so great yesterday. So am not loosing because I'm not getting all my water & protein in. Yes I need to get rid of caloric drinks and I'm doing my best with that. But when I eat or drink it still isn't that much. What is going on??? Please help!!!!

Is everyone getting both all Water & Protein in?

I can get my protein in no problem. But having a harder time getting the water in. Can only get in 48 oz

I have slowed way down tooo for the last 2 weeks. Had a period for the first time in a year or more this week. So. I'm sure that had something to do with it. I am just thinking that my body is catching up to what I just did to it. I am 5 weeks out now

I got it when I took milk of mag. White poop

I haven't taken anything to help me poop though....

I am so upset, 5 weeks out and no changes in my weight for more than 2 weeks!! So far I lost 25 pounds and still eating very little. I am not back at the gym yet but I do walk a lot. I am very frustrated right now dde14

Maybe u r eating too few calories? I will be out 5 weeks in Monday. Had a stall for 2 wks but lost a lb when I increases my calories and Water.

[gastricsleever 259]

I'm not feeling do hot either. But here is my full disclosure. I've been drinking caloric juices. I feel really bad about myself. I can't expect to change my horrible habits so quickly. For those of you that pray I could use all prayers I can get.

Yes, the sleeve definitely isn't a miracle pill, we are all still works in progress. I find myself making poor choices sometimes...I just gotta move on and get back in track. i do drink apple juice still, I just drink less of it and mix it with Water to dilute it. Half cup of water with half cup of juice and it still tastes good to me.

I've been at the same exact weight for over a week. But I'm losing inches. I've not reached my liquid goal even once. Trying hard today, though.

[gastricsleever 259]

I will be 5 wks out Monday- been getting an average of 50 -60 grams of protein a day and an average of 6-7 glasses of water. Some days I get in 8 glasses of water but not all my protein, some days I get in 70-90 grams of protein but not all my water. It's definitely work to do it! I really have to think about it constantly!

Ditto- I have lost a pound finally after 2 weeks, but what I really noticed was inches lost. I could wear pants that didn't zip up 2 weeks ago! Yahoo!!!

I've been drinking Syntrax Nectar Lemon Tea with Crystal light peach mango tea mixed with it. It's very good. I mix both in 20 oz of Water. So i get Protein AND water in that way.

Just a suggestion!

I've been stuck for 10 days! I don't get all of my water and protein in every day and haven't started walking consistently yet. I've not had too many problems with pain and have not vomited. Still on full liquids until Wednesday. Only 18lbs down from surgery 3/25. I'm not overly exhausted, but I do get tired easily. I am frustrated that I have stalled and frustrated that I have not been released to do heavier workouts. I was doing Insanity 3-4 days a week preop. I am starting Protein Shakes tomorrow (have been using Isopure clear liquid for protein). Hopefully that and dedication to water intake will kick this stall. I guess I just wanted to say, you are not alone. I've heard several people talk about their stalls about this time postop. We can do it, and we will reach our goals with hard work. Keep your head up!

PS- I drink Poweraide Zero and sugar free Popsicles when I get bored/tired of water. I hope this helps!

More calories? Can you really break the stall by increasing calories?

[alwaysonadiet 47]

Yeah these stalls really suck. I don't think it's any one thing that you do to make it happen. Don't be to hard on yourself for not drinking enough water/protein or walking long enough or drinking a high caloric drink whatever it may be. I think everybody's body just goes through this whether it be starvation mode or just the fact we are now at the eating food stage. Everything I've read and everybody I talked to says to hang in there. So that is what we have to do. Sure we need to get that work out/walk in and we have to get our Protein in, but if we mess up a day or two I think it will be ok. I myself have been at a stall for over a week. I finally hid the scale and seem to be more at ease.

[MizNola 25]

Hi all- I am also in the dreaded stall. Been a week at the same weight. I just keep telling myself that it will move eventually; no way we can eat this little and it not drop, right?? I am 6 weeks out and find the further away I get from surgery date, the less vigilant I am about following the rules perfectly. These boards and home groups and buddies are important to keep each other connected to the process.

Nope water is hard! Protein yes.
