So I seem to have the honor of being the first into a stall :44_frowning2: but hey someone had to be first. I did talk to my NUT just to make sure I had my target numbers right and to check on calories as we didn't really talk about that before.

She said that its very common especially for women to have stalls fairly early on, the longest she has seen it last is about 3 weeks. She also reminded me that I lost 30 lbs just before surgery and my body knows that as well. So the stall will break and I will be off loosing again sometime in the next week or so max :100_pray:

She did say that my calorie intake was a bit low at around 350/400 and I should be trying to up it towards 800 a day. Keep getting all the liquids in and if I can bring my Protein up over 80 or even higher then great but as long as its over 60 all good. I feel better about going for more calories with cross fit I really feel my body would need more with also playing so much golf and biking so I will definitely work on that.

Even though the scale is not moving I do feel the inches are still coming off, finally last night I walked into a pre league social and people actually commented how much weight I have lost ... thank the lord 45 lbs down and nobody had mentioned it before. Even though most of the weight is pre surgery I do think I have lost most of the inches post surgery, and the tape measure backs it up. I also just had to apply for a new Visa for a trip to india its been two years since the last time OMG comparing the photos is night and day I cant believe how fat my face looked back to my old self now ... very happy about that :89_clap:

You might just be the first to admit it. I am in a stall right now. Stuck at 19 lbs post op and not moving for about 4 days now. I'm also right there in calorie intake. I have a one month educational class coming up and I'm going to ask about calorie and Protein intake. I'm only managing between 350-400 calories a day. 60 grams of protein and hardly any carb. I feel like it's impossible to add more intake. My team restricts us to 3 meals a day and a Protein Drink (half in the morning, half in the afternoon). The protein drink is 160 of my calories.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
