I drink my Proteins don't eat junk, I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Has this happened to anyone else.

Use my fitnesspal to record what u eat. Every bit of it. Stick to what u were told to lose the weight. R u taking enough Protein, how many calories is your target. Maybe u should try eating more calories if u r doing strenuous exercises. I read on this site that when people do increase calories by about 200 calories per day while they r doing strenuous exercise, they start to lose the weight after a stall. Why about seeking out a nutritionist with Bariatric Eating experience.

I am kinda in the same boat. I have not lost anything since October either. I am also a very slow loser and have been trying to focus on the inches. Those has stalled as well. I know I can eat more than I used to be able to eat and that is a concern for me. I exercise 3-4 times a week in a pool because of my fibromyalgia. Anyone else struggling to lose weight?

Went to a support group last week...someone who had surgery in October has lost 70 pounds; meanwhile, I had surgery in June and still weigh what I weighed on Labor Day. Only lost 30 since surgery, 49 overall. Not complaining, but I know why I'm not losing...I can (and do) eat anything and everything. Can't seem to quiet the cravings...

I had sleeve surgery in June of 2012. I lost about 90 pounds within the first 5 months or so and then nothing since. I have been stalled out over a year now and am very depressed about it. I've even gained a few pounds! I know exactly why I'm stalled out, and that is the worst part. I'm eating junk and not exercising. I don't watch what I eat at all anymore and as much as I'm concerned about It, I can't seem to stay focused and motivated to do the right things. When I buy groceries, I look for low carb high Protein foods and that's what I buy... and then a box of Little Debbies just in case. Well, I end up eating the Little Debbie's in a day or two and never touch the food I purchased that's good for me. In fact, I mostly just eat out. I don't know how to kick the cravings I have for carbs... On a positive note, however, I did switch to putting Splenda in my coffee instead of sugar... that was a miracle for me because I've never liked it that way. Anybody got any suggestions for motivation or kicking the cravings? I have got another 100 pounds to lose and time is running out on me... :( Help?

      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? 🤷‍♀️
