Frustrated...no loss in 10 days



Recommended Posts

Hi steph, hope your doing well since surgery.

The stall is normal, I had a stall that lasted about the same time, finally started moving again on Friday. My nut had me increase my intake as I was not getting enough macros in as I increased my activity. If you are logging your meals and macros, have them check to make sure your, you may need to adjust them intake.

Great, so here's how to do it.

Go to the goals tab, under nutrition goals, select calories and macronutrients goals.

Then input your target daily calories and %of carbs, Protein and fat.
I have mine set as follows: calories-800, carbs-20%, protein-50%, fat-30%.

Some important things to keep in mind:
1. The fats are all, both good and bad (butter is bad but almonds or salmon is good fats)

2. The app subtracts your calories burned from exercise, so it can be a bit confusing at first when monitoring the macros throughout the day. The best way to verify you are in the zone is, at the bottom of the page where you log your meals, select nutrition. This will show you your % of actual compared to your goal. Just keep within these targets and you will be fine.

I am in a group of other sleevers, if you want to add me to your friends list, my user name is sleevinpops. A lot of us also use Fitbit for activity tracker and step challenges, if you use Fitbit, you can friend me there as well, email is vban@charter.net.

All the best!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
