Hi this is my first post in the forum. Feels as if I am back in grad school. Well I had my gastric sleeve on December 3, 2012. I started at 248 and now am about 169. I did see 166, but it only lasted for a day. I still want to loose about 15 pounds, but it is not coming off. I do the gym 3 times a week and lift weights and the treadmill, elipitical or rowing machine. I alternate between the 3 so my body does not get used to either. I am from Augusta,GA and my surgeon was Dr. Blaney. He is great. I can eat anything I want to, small amounts of course, but I still crave Snacks and for the most part I try to eat healthy Protein snacks, but do cheat some times. I have not gone to any support meetings and someone told me I should to help and also told me to increase my protein each day, which I have started adding 30 grams in a cup of coffee each day and now get about 80-100 grams each day. Any other suggestions to help me get off this stall?

Welcome to the forum! Looks like you have done really well with your sleeve. How many calories are you taking in each day? This may help in figuring out the next 15 pounds you want off. You could be eating either too much or too little. What about your water intake. Water is a huge factor as well in your weight loss.

Decrease carbs to almost none, at least for a while. That will help with the cravings, too. Then once you're losing again, be very careful about increasing carbs. If you increase them at all do it very slowly, and when the weight loss slows or stops, decrease carbs just a bit and you should start losing again. Then maintain that level of carbs or less as long as you want to keep losing.
