Stalling for over a month???

[Road2Newme3 116]

Hi guys. So I'm getting really frustrated with my weight.

I know stalls are completely normal, and I've dealt with a few before this one. I was 4 months post sleeve on the 11th. My weight has moved up and down the same 2lbs since the end of march.

I've upped my Water intake, increased exercise, and I'm hitting my Protein goals and nothing is budging! I've had stalls that were like 1-2 weeks but nothing like this. And all my nutritionist says is to make sure to hit protein and water goals and I'll be fine. Apparently not [emoji36] they also don't give us a calorie range so I don't know if I'm not eating enough. I feel like I am? I'm around 800-1000 calories depending on the day.

Sorry, I just needed a place to rant. It sucks putting in so much work and not seeing any changes! Especially because it had been going well before.

I have two go-tos to try to shift a stall...

1. Journaling every single thing I put in my mouth. Calories are very sneaky.

2. Adding exercise and intensity.

Sometimes, though....you just have to be patient.

Crossing fingers your stall breaks soon:)

Thanks, I hope it breaks soon too!
I just bought a new Journal so I'll definitely be doing that starting today. I guess I'll sign up for one of the high-intensity classes at the YMCA and maybe switching it up like you said will work.

My doc actually warned me off of doing too much of one kind of exercise.

I was walking like 20,000 steps a day for a while...and she encouraged me to diversify. She said the body gets used to one activity, the muscles get more efficient and you lose ground after time. Best to mix it up.

Now, I walk 12,000 steps a day and do some cardio three times a week. Bike riding, trampoline rebounding workout, swimming, etc.

When I'm a little sore...I know I'm hitting the sweet spot. LOL. (not too sore though....don't hurt yourself!)

Gosh I don't have anything to add but hugs. Stay the course! Don't lose focus of the goal and just keep swimmin' as Dory says. Wish I had some magic answers!!

Thanks anyways! I'm trying to stay away from the scale and just keep doing what I know is right! I know it'll eventually start moving. Thanks for the hugs!

Happened to me too in my 6th month. Kept going up and down 2 lbs. I managed to break it by cutting all carbs out of my evening meal. I had just vegetables with a bit of cheese. I’m down another 12 lbs.

I'm in the same situation. Got lazy about measuring Water and I'm pretty sure I'm paying for it now...
