Had the band done in Sept./07 and have lost 102 pounds so far with 29 left to go. YAY!! But I'm S T U C K at 168lbs and have been for about 6-8 weeks. Maybe a very small fill but I'm not eating much at all now. I get a good amount of exercise being in retail selling as a job and also go to the gym. Is there any food that promotes weight loss??? Asparagus? Watermelon? I need all the tips I can get to lose these last few pounds.:thumbup:

I'm also stuck! I did take a few days off from exercise 3 days and today I had so much more energy! I guess you really do need to change things up or the bod adapts and maximizes the incoming calories and energy consumption. I've lost 65 pounds and want to lose another 35-40 to reach my goal weight. I'm going to try to start weight training to mix up my routine. I've been walking and runnning 4 miles ,6-7 days a week, twice a day but now nothing seems to work. The 3 day rest seemed to help my strength and energy but I did gain some weight. It is frustrating to plateau for so long after so much good fast weight loss. I'm trying to be positive and view this as a long term body learning experience. Let me know what you try when you start losing again as I'm positive you will as you have done so well so far!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
