What specifically do you want help with ? I sent u a PM if u prefer that.

Try small, frequent, high Protein meals and Snacks, don't try to go low fat ( I eat 5-6 a day) Drink lots of Water but not during or half hr after meals.

Examples of what I eat:

Turkey Jerky

1 fried egg on 1slice light (35 calorie toast) with a slice of cheese on it

Half a large apple w BP

Light yogurt

Half a sandwich made w 1slice light (35 calorie) bread toasted or grilled.

Cup of Soup or chowder. NO crackers

salad w meat, cheese

3 oz protein and small amount of veggies

Cucumber slices, baby carrots and ranch dip

Hey piano gal i got to 158 and now stuck at 176 for months it's crazy i did the 5 day test lost like 2 lbs. I feel discouraged because i excersize 5 days a week and wouldn't go over 1250 calories a day. Take all the proper Vitamins i also have bipolar and take medication and that actually helps aid in weight loss what i take and it's not. I take melatonin i sleep 4 to 5 hours and once in a blue moon i get 6 I'm happy those nights. I just had back surgery last month luckily haven't gained i know it is gonna be rough yet again. I have PCOS and hypothyroidism due to the gastric bypass 2 severe ulcers 3 hernias removed gallbladder out i did it all right but obstacles keep getting thrown at me it sucks i know. Somewhere in my depressed mind i know there has to be some hope because what else do we have left. We did all this and for what? We all knew it wasn't gonna be easy and some people are damn lucky to have the weight just shoot on off but those like me and you we have to fight damn hard and I know I cry some days and tell myself it's not fair but then I say snap out of it. Anyway enough of my preaching lol if you need to talk I am hear for you I know how it is. And by the way my doctor said to me it's normal to gain 15 lbs or so after to stop losing and start eating normal foods again.

There was a study done that proves lack of sleep and or stress will make you retain fat...until the stress is addressed it will be tough to lose the weight.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
