I know I'm not eating enough, I'm just not hungry. Oh well, I may have to force myself to eat. The good news is I found out that Decaf iced tea is something my body loves to drink. I drink about 26 oz of it a day currently (and it counts as Water for me). I'm also looking into a gym to get my exersize in.

Hey PJ! I talked to my NUT today. She said once our bodies get that basal or rock bottom amount of calories needed to function THEN our bodies will let the pounds go. I guess my body thinks I'm trying to kill it so it's in survival mode. My basal calorie intake was 1,300 before I lost any weight. I just have to keep reminding myself that this is a marathon if weight loss, not a sprint. BTW I have trouble getting my fluids in too. If I get fluids in then protien is low that day. If I eat better then my Fluid intake is low. Go figure!

Since I know I'm not eating enough, when I do eat, it's always Protein. Deli meat and/or cheese. What a boring diet. Oh, I recently threw in some shrimp. My PA did not want me doing the Protein Drinks after my 4 weeks' visit and I do get 64 ounces of Water. At month three, they do a test to check on any Vitamin deficiencies and stuff, so I have some time for my body to adjust. I think the surgery shocked it. :)

PJ......I'm there with you! Not getting protein/water in like I should. I know this has to be a priority of mine as I'm sure I would be feeling a little more energetic than I am after 5 weeks. I also have to SLOW DOWN when I do eat! Tonight....not so good. Too fast and my tummy let me know by bringing it back up :-( Not something I want to happen on a regular basis!

I know how you feel about the deli meat. Have you tried tuna? I even threw in a couple jalapeño slices with the fat free mayo. My tummy liked it ;)

      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? 🤷‍♀️
