Hello I am almost three months out of the sleeve and haven't lost in over a month I upped my water and protein and even went back to liquid for a couple days to see if that would jump start it. I have only lost 20 since surgery which I know is good but I feel over a month is a long time to not lose anymore. For you who revised when did you guys make that step or is there something else I can try to start my weight loss again?

Just a question. Are you tracking you're food and are you exercising?

Yes I keep track of what I eat and how much protein and carbs and all that I'm putting in me and yes I excerise everyday almost I take 1 day breaks during the week

I find that even if I eat good carbs - like fruit or if I eat processed foods, I tend to stall out. I have to stick to pork/beef/chicken, that I cook myself and low glycemic vegetables - broccoli, cauliflower, brussell sprouts, green beans, if I want to continue to lose weight. Even an extra apple a day is enough sugar to prevent me from losing weight.

I have had vthe same issue, 3 months out and no weight loss after revision. My doc said it's not enough protein and need more exercise for me, which is hard to do with my chaotic life. I would definitely try is cutting out sugars and carbs to a bare minimum, and change up what exercise you are doing. I tried changing my focus area on weight training to 2 days on arms & back and 2 days on legs, with cardio before bed. It's helped me break the stall.

Are you close to a normal BMI? I had to go hardcore to get the last pounds off.

My bmi is a 29.8 so just under obese now.

i understand the frustration.The closer to goal my body wants to hold on to the weight. Have you thought about contacting you're dietitian? I think that is my next step.

I was right where you are! So scary and frustrating! I am back on track with increased water and less, much less processed foods. I had a two month stall. Push through it. Maintain your loss and look forward to the break through... It WILL come!!

The closer you are to goal the harder it will be. Some people seem to lose effortlessly all along but I started over 300#, lost pretty steady till I hit the say 180-190 range and it slowed to like 2 pounds a month. I knew I wasn't gonna make my goals with that so I contacted a NUT and made some changes based on her advice and my own inner dialog.

1. I personally had to face my own inner resistance. I know that sounds crazy, but I had gotten to where I wasn't huge anymore, but wasn't slim either. I was "matronly" and I recognize there was still a little fat suit safety going on there. I had to ask myself the question if i was ready to really "go for it" and get to a normal size/weight.

2. I could not lose weight while eating alot of processed carby foods - including Protein bars. i did a reset back to very simple meat and low carb veggies. to this day I limit fruits and other "healthy" but sugary foods as they seem to pack pounds on me.

3. I changed my workouts from eliptical and using weight machines to doing high intensity interval training. WOW - that is both hard and also invigorating. I feel like that helped provide some of the fuel to get things going again.

I'm having the same problem!!! It makes me feel so discouraged
