How are you guys doing out there?

I'm 9 weeks out and down 57 pounds. But getting bored with food and not sure if I am even eating the right things. I use the Atkins app to count calories and carbs and I max my calories at 500. I'm hungry but can't stand more than two-three bites of food

I was sleeved on May 2nd, down 34 since surgery 54 since starting the process in April. I was stalling a bit but the wl is picking up again. Having the same trouble, I'm hungry but then can only have about 4 ounces of Protein and I'm at capacity. I'm am starting to get a lot of comments on my wl at work which is nice but hard at the same time. Sometimes people don't realize how they sound. One woman like yelled across the parking lot that I was shrinking but it didn't feel like a compliment. I have alot to lose and get scared it will just stop. I know you just have to do you and tune out the noise.

I haven't even told anyone at my work that I had the surgery. I have had comments from people like, oh you've lost weight, your such a pretty girl and if you lost more 🙄 As you can tell I work with mostly men! I am trying to exercise but just not a lot of energy... just keep trucking!

I'm 9 weeks out and have only lost 18 pounds. I'm frustrated and getting bored with eating Protein and the same things all the time. I don't mind getting full fast because I know that's the only thing helping me right now. I'm just crawling along. Disappointed it's not coming off faster. How many calories are you eating at 9 weeks?

[Tracy4 21]

I am eating between 300-500 calories. I can't fit anymore. I still have a Protein Shake or scrambled eggs for Breakfast. I'll eat Soup, salad with grilled chicken or a Protein Bar for lunch and just a small dinner of mostly meat and veggies. I can't fit a lot of food. I find it much better to track with the Atkins app, it's free to use and download. I also do a lot of sugar free fudgesicles, hello and puddings. I started walking a few weeks ago, not far and about 20 minutes a few times a week, and I swim. I'm going to sound so bad, but I have small 2 pound weights that I use to do arm exercises while I'm watching tv at night.. like I mentioned I don't have a lot for energy but I just figured it's something!

I am not counting calories, my nut said to focus on protein and Water and if there's room veggies and a tiny bit of fruit. Sometimes you can be consuming not enough calories that can slow things down too. Talk to your nut, there is no perfect formula I'm learning I was on vacation last week expecting to gain when I returned and lost ? Makes no sense.

Are you on Pinterest? Search chicken meatballs. I make them every week and make a huge batch so I can portion them out for the week. They have every flavor-chicken parm is my favorite. I swap out breadcrumb for a little almond or coconut flour and you can't even tell the difference. I've tried bbq, orange chicken, general tso chicken, pesto, and even chick-fil-a! One meatball fills me up and I don't have to worry about cooking when I'm exhausted.

Those sound good! I will research those today! My problem, I hate reheated meat so everything I make is either eaten when I make it or something I can have cold. I just went to the grocery store and bought a rotisserie chicken and that will last me several meals and can be eaten cold and on salad..

Mine got done may 25 almost at 7 lbs away from 70 lbs lost. About 35 away from goal weight of 200

[Tracy4 21]

Was that weight all lost after surgery? Are you exercising and what are you eating? Curious, I'm stuck lol

I'm the same way with most meats but I'm ok with chicken. Also, I like the chicken parm ones cold haha.

I was sleeved 5/22 and I eat about 900 calories a day. I'm a slow loser as well. 37 since preop and 22 since surgery. I feel good and at least the scale is moving in the right direction. Stay focused. Maybe we won't have loose skin to deal with since we're slow losers.

I was sleeved may 2nd. I am down 62 lbs. im doing great but I haven't lost in 3 weeks now and have actually gone up a pound or two 😩 I'm working out every day. I have noticed some hunger has krept back in. Maybe just head hunger... I feel great and all though. My biggest fear is gaining the weight back. Even after weight loss surgery lol
