I am eating about 850 calories a day and been on a stall. Nutritionist just raised me to 950 and I am still stalled.

Any thoughts?

I was sleeved on May 9 of this year and I have only lost 25 pounds so far. I am increasing my water intake but it is a slow process to get the weight to go down. I started out with a BMI of 36 so maybe that is the reason for my stall.

I was a low BMI-er as well @apositivelife4me and hit one stall about 2 months ago. (6 months post op). Otherwise had steady weight loss.

When I hit my stall it was exercise 3 times a week with weight training included that broke my stall. It had less to do with nutrition. I still only eat 500 or less a day, but adding that work out component with weights specifically was magic.

I joined a local gym and have been lifting weights and cardio. I need to go every day.

Are you tracking protein, water, calories in and out? Are you taking your vitamins? Are you exercising?

Bowel movements... How's those looking?

Hi there,
Not all nutrition is created equal, can you give us a sample of your daily menu and what your daily activities look like also. Believe or not it all factors in!

500 or less! I would love to see your menu!

It's a protein shake in the AM, lunch meat/piece of cheese for lunch, and usually fish or some sort of chicken dish for dinner. Portion sizes are small. Nothing fancy! My protein shake gives me a good chunk of it, as does the fish. Also super low carb (most days). I will say I ate fish tacos yesterday so I'm no angel

Can you photo journal a day in your food life? That would super interesting? I cannot pictures 500 cals of food... I've been up too high for too long...

I can do that tomorrow! I've already got my meals planned in my head so I think I can remember to snap a pic of my exciting protein shake, lunch meat/cheese, and chicken with mushrooms (or fish....can't decide...tilapia with paprika sounds so good...) but yes. I'll post something!

This is today’s food rundown. 381 calories. 60 grams of protein. 11 grams of fat. 8 carbs.

B: Protein shake with water. Syntrax fuzzy navel, so good, but needs 16 oz of water or it clumps.

L: 2 oz low sodium deli turkey and 1 oz low moisture mozzerella

D: it’s a chicken and mushroom dish. Unsure of oz. the whole recipe makes six servings and this is a serving.

This is for the day correct? Do you drink just water after / between or other things like tea?

That's it, this is a day's worth in the life of Redhead I drink my 16 oz (or 8 oz if it's the cookie flavor) of water in my shake, then from like, 8am-10am I've finished another 24 oz. And from around 12:30-3 I'm working on the next 24 oz. Finish whatever I still need to at home after dinner and typically before 8pm. I keep a water on my nightstand if I get thirsty in the night, but try not to break into any food or liquid after 8.

This is pretty average for me. It's pretty low fiber so sometimes I supplement, sometimes I don't. My pipes run smooth enough so to speak so I don't worry about it a lot. I haven't seen the nutritionist since like, a month post op, but she said "it's not really about calories, it's about your macros" so if I meet my protein (the one I worry about) in less than 400 calories and feel full, I'm chill.

Cool, never any hunger etc? when's the next time you see the NUT? Can you ask if everyone is low cal in your program and until when. I'm interested in knowing where everyones programs want them. Mine has me at 1000 cals. Also is synthrax fruity or milky?
