Hello everyone. Do you feel like you have hit a plateau? I had my gastric sleeve done May 5th. This was a conversion from lap band. Is there anything you can be doing different to re - kick start your weight loss? I am facing my short comings and realize it's time to push myself in my exercise regime. What is working for you and does not work for you?

I am in a stall. Totally sucks. I've only lost a couple lbs the last three weeks. I was sleeved June 5th, just over 7 weeks ago. I have decided to try carb cycling. For me that will mean NOT being ridged about my carb count for just one day a week (today was my first day) and im hoping that will jump start my metabolism again. I have been exercising every day since I hit 6 weeks and eating around 700 cals. I know some people are really against this but im tired of being stuck at this weight when im working so hard and following the rules. We'll see what happens! At least all this exercise is making me feel fantastic! Plenty of NSVs even if the scale isn't moving. Good luck to you!

Phatphotog, please keep in mind that you will need to also meet your Protein requirements and be sure to check and see if you are taking in your carbs, sugars and your protein in the appropriate amount. Maybe you should look at my Fitness Pal that will also help you to track how you eat what you eat keep track of your protein, carbs and all of the above. I know different things work for different people you might also look at your calorie count if you're not getting enough calories your body is going to be storing fat (starvation mode) and that will also stall your weight loss.

I have hit some stalls here and there, but I have found the following things get me out of stalls quickly:

-Tracking EVERYTHING using myfitnesspal

-Drinking Lots of Water 64oz + I buy two big bottles a day, the local QT does two 33.8 oz Ozarka bottles for $2. I drink both (sometimes almost forcing myself to drink all the water)

-Making sure I'm staying busy and not eating when I'm not hungry.

-Beef Jerky/Greek Yogurt/Low fat String cheese are all your friends!

I legitimately forget to eat sometimes when I'm busy, but by watching my food intake on myfitnesspal, I can make sure that I get in enough Protein. My doc said 60-80g per day minimum. I try to hit 80g-100g while staying under 900 calories. I almost always make 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? 🤷‍♀️
