Hi Foevlo,

You had gastric sleeve which is different from my modified RNY but I have to watch every carb and keep under 35g daily, my proteins at 50-60g and fluids need to be at 45-60 oz inorder to not have weight variations. Over the time I have had 5-10 lb increases when I didnt monitor for a day or 2 in a row. So now since it has been 10 months since my initial surgery I have lost 145 lbs. I am 5ft tall and now weigh 140 but have 15 more lbs to loose by my anniversary date. I am officially on a watch yourself and your food and fluid intake so I can make goal. Please feel free to email me and I would be open to a diet buddy. If you are watching everything and still feel you are not having the success you want I suggest you talk to your surgeon and they can update you on how they feel you are comming along. Every month I feel unsure that I have made progress unless I compare to the beginning and take pictures and only weigh weekly, I get defeated easily. I still have a bad self image even though others compliment me and are amazed by the difference from pre surgery. So what I am saying is we are the hardest judge of ourselves and at only 4 months out you have lost nearly 10 lbs a month. Wow that is wonderful. Before weight loss surgery I only gained weight and for a year I tried to just loose 2 lbs and it was impossible. So great job so far. Dont be disappointed you are successful and you are changing, loosing, and other people cannot be the measure for you. Continue your journey and in 6 more months you will have lost 100 lbs. Think of it that way. You are awsome.

I feel ya. I had surgery 4/26 and lost 45 lbs total. Have only lost 2 lbs in the last 2 months. I stopped tracking, than started tracking my food again, started walking but still can't seem to break the stall. Now I'm feeling a little down, I see myself going back to old of eating bad. I'm just not eating enough Protein. I stocked up last night on protein so hoping to get back on track tomorrow with Water and protein & see if that works. I guess if we our losing its better than not losing. Before surgery it was hard to lose a pound.
