Ugh im so frustrated and getting upset

What am i doing wrong?

Actually i probably know what.

Okay here we go

Im 10 months post op at the end of the month 1 week ago i was 194lbs. Today im 198lbs. I wasn't going to weight myself but i did at the gym scale and i think it was wrong so i weighed myself at my home scale which may be wrong too i dont know but its the one ive been using.

Anyway

I know it cant be my exercise. I workout 4 times a week. I take bodycombat (a mixed martial arts class) which is a high intense cardio class. And a core training class.

So im pretty set on exercise.

Can it be that i dont measure my food?

I honestly just pack my lunch (a "normal" portion) and i just listen to my stomach to when im full. And i snack in between probably too much

7am i eat half a sandwich (flax and whole wheat bread flats with turkey and cheese)

Around 9 i snack usually wheat thins with a triangle laughing cow cheese

12 i have lunch usually a salad.

3 i go home and its all down hill sometimes ill snack on smart pop or nuts or apples sometimes a peotein shake.

As im typing this i realized i dint do Protein shakes as much as i should?

Should i still be doing 2-3 shakes a day?

Any suggestions?

What do you eat thats been helpful?

My schedule is usually the same. I work 7-3 and i go to the gym between 5-7 and i try not to eat past 7.

I have atleast 40oz of Water a day.

HELP!!!!

Hi everyone! So i tracked my normal day and i found out 60% of my diet is fat! This whole time i thought i was doing good but nope im cleaning out the pantry and revisiting my meal prep and "diet"

I'm impressed, @Aribay ... I doubted you'd actually track. But you did!

Respect!

I honestly don't know how people can guess about this stuff and succeed long-term.

Guessing is what got us in this mess in the first place.

hahaha i dodnt think i would either some Snacks im like ah forget it i wont but i did. Its going to get some getting use to but i know if i could do liquid diets and the pureed diet i can regular diet too. I need this gut to go!

Cut the carbs.

This

Agree with others have said above, cut the carbs, try going without the bread or crackers higher Protein will keep you full longer. .

I personally put myself on a timed eating schedule and don't allow myself to snake in between. I eat every 3 1/2-4 hours and drink Water in between, so i never give myself the opportunity to get too hungry and want to graze. Typical work day for me.

8am-Protien shake

12:30- Hard boiled egg or lunch meat or left over protein from night before, today i packed 3 good sized baked shrimp.

5pm-chicken stir fry/ steak and mushrooms/ pork chop and zucchini/ chicken fingers or fish sticks (guilty pleasure, 1 maybe 2 times a month)

9pm- I like to munch on pork rinds, or if i feel i had enough protein that day i make some popcorn (my Carb guilty pleasure)

I am no expert, I am going on 6 months post and am now down 97 lbs. I am very happy with my results and am sticking to this eating plan for as long as it works.

Good luck!

I'm no sleeve expert as I'm only a month post op but I was definitely a dieting expert since I've been on and off every diet for 25 years. Here are some ideas:

1) If measuring food is a really big pain in the rear (I get it), maybe pre-plan one day and then repeat it all week so you aren't having to figure out your nutrients and calories every day. This isn't a permanent solution (because that would be so boring) but if the scale moves in the direction you want, it will confirm that you've just gotten a little off track. Try 5 meals, no Snacks. 7:30am shake, 10:30am quiche, 1:30pm cottage cheese/avocado/tomato, 4:30pm shake, 7:30pm dinner... Or whatever works with your lifestyle. I also have a 500ml bottle I fill with infused Water. I know I have to drink 4 of these a day and if I drink one in between every meal, I'll get them all in. You just have to find a pattern that fits into your day.

2) A lot of people say to go back to the basics - get your 70g of Protein (or whatever you were originally told). Then focus on your 60oz of water. Then look at your carbs. This doesn't have to be something you tackle all at once. Monday & Tuesday - just focus on protein. Wednesday & Thursday - keep up the protein but add in a focus on water consumption. Friday & Saturday - maintain protein and water and now have a look at your carbs. You probably gradually got off track so try being patient with yourself while you get back on track.

3) if you work out a lot, you need some carbs but we all know some are better than others. I have a friend who doesn't eat carbs past noon. It helps her feel satiated and never deprived but it keeps carbs under control because she's very strict about her rule.

4) Are you possibly just stalled? From a lot of what other people have said, stalls are a real thing that can completely derail you if your motivation comes from past success. I just came off my first stall-out and it was mental torture. But what everyone says is true - there's very little you can do except be diligent about eating well, be patient, and be kind to yourself. Most of us will beat ourselves up because we have a lifetime of practise. Just remember that you've done a great job of changing your life and there will be obstacles along the way FOREVER! It's how you handle the obstacles that will determine your future successes and the ease with which you're able to move past issues as they arise.

I get it. My laziness and love for food have landed me here but you can do it - you just have to get out your measuring cups and scale. It's hard at first. It's the last thing you want to add to your day. But in the grand scheme of things, isn't it worth just checking to see if this is the problem?

You state that you are not losingYou are 255 have you lost any weight to get to 255?What is your weight loss per week ?Are you at a stall?when did you get the sleeve?Were you checked for PCOS??Thyroid?Not enough info.

Good job on the tracking and figuring out what the problem may be! Keep us posted on how it's going!
