Current - 222.2- and I've been in this 222-225 for 3 weeks! (I'm 5'7") I need to do something different. I see the dr on Thursday. Before surgery I LOVED water. I was great about it. Drank a gallon a day. Now, I struggle. It just seems to make me nauseous. I know this is something I need to work on. Otherwise - I stay around 1000-1100 calories. 60-80 grams on protein (60 is a bad day. It's usually 75-80). I drink 2 or 3 protein shakes a day and eat chicken or turkey for protein.
What are you doing about vitamins? I bought Journey 3+3 from bariatriceating.com but they made me super nauseous (threw up a couple times) and dr told me to d/c for the time being. It helped. Now I need to find something else.

First, congrats on your progress!!!! I just bought my vitamins from Walmart. I know the Bariatric specific are supposed to be better but they made me nauseous. I take B-12, calcium, d-3, c and biotin combo. Also protonix which has helped with my nausea SO much! I used to drink a ton of water but right after surgery I came down with pancreatitis and all I could keep down was water for 42 days... so I struggle with my water intake. I do 60-80 grams of protein a day and stay between 600-800 calories a day. Compared to what I've read, my calories seem low but that's what my NUT said so...600-800 it is! I take a 2 mile walk or do a Jillian Michaels workout 3-4 days a week.. I need to step up my exercise and I could give a list of excuses why I can't .. 1 year old twins.. work.. sleep.. but they are all just that.. excuses!

Also, I keep stalling for like 2-3 weeks then lose 6-10 lbs in a week..

And congrats to you! I think we need to remind ourselves where we came from. And, omg, twins! 1 year old! You have to be exhausted! Thanks for the tip on vitamins. I think that's what I'm going to do too. I need to schedule another appt with NUT and go over everything I'm doing. My goal has been to be under 200 (199) by mid may (vacay to Mexico). I need to kick it up a couple notches

I have never been very good with remembering where I started. I always focus on where I need to be,(which is why I have failed in the past), so I've been taking before and after pictures which has really helped me stay positive and believe in the process. Lol my doctor set a goal for me to be at or below 200 by April 14th... I really have to amp up my exercise! I am due for a lose about now. My personal goal is 174 by August 19th.. that would be 100 lbs in 8mths.

Mexico! How wonderful ! A reward for doing so well?

It's a girls trip with my 3 besties. We have all turned 40 in the last couple years and we could finally all find 5 days to get away. 2 weeks ago I had to fly to LA for work (I live in Ohio) and although it still wasn't comfortable (is it for anyone not in 1st class?) I definitely felt less massive in my seat and I wasn't dreading it like I usually was. So, 45ish lbs lost made a difference! I have the same goal. 170-175. Same time frame. Here's hoping!

I was sleeved 12/5. My weight loss has definitely slowed down but when I make sure I'm getting my water and protein in and moving it picks up pretty quickly. I love my tool and it has allowed me to lose 65 pounds in less than three months so I'm grateful even in the middle of a stall

Not good very disappointed lost only 30 four months out

My weight loss has slowed. Surgery date was 12/30/16 and I have lost about 40 lbs. I had to have another (unrelated) surgery to my parathyroid last week so I haven't been able to exercise for a few weeks nor have I been able to get all my protein in. So..perhaps that is why my weight loss has slowed. It is frustrating, the scale hasn't moved all month.

Ya me to been I'll have a hernia but still come to the gym just stressful

Congratulations!!! I love mine too! Best decision ever!!

Hi All - sleeved on 12/21 and I am in your same boat. I've basically been the same weight/measurements for going on three weeks now. I think this is my first true "stall." I'm trying to keep a positive attitude and focus on the fact that I've lost 36 lbs since my surgery day and more than 60 since my highest weight. I'm also getting back to tracking my food (I have been slacking there), making sure I'm hitting my protein and water goals and working out. I'm hoping this too shall pass. Glad to know its not just me!
