What fruit & veggies do people suggest to increase my calories because most don't have a lot of calories. Also, what complex carbs do people eat to increase calories without the sugar? I'm looking...

I have been stuck for over 5 months and I found out that my basal metabolic rate is 1600 calories and I have only been eating around 1200. However, I gain if I eat any and I mean any sugar and...

Yes! I hope so! :)

I may be stuck on my weight loss but I just can't beat how great I look! Wow, the attention I get now is just so amazing and fun and I feel like a photo-crazy narcissist! I just can't believe it even...

I've had a tall (small) chai with non-fat milk and only 2 pumps instead of 3 to cut down on the sugar. It still tastes pretty good and it's a little better than normal. I can't take the chemicals in...

I just had my blood work done and a year and 2 months after the sleeve, I have the most pristine, perfect blood work of my life! I am the healthiest that I have ever been and I keep telling my...

Yay! I still have almost 20 pounds to go and I am stuck, stuck, stuck. Did you change anything to get to that last bit of weight loss? Congratulations! :)

I was 45 and over 300 when I had the surgery and my skin has done pretty well. I have sagged in my arms, stomach and thighs some but not too bad. My breasts have sagged too and now I look like one...

There are only 3 things that I would do over in my life. That is get married, have my son and have the sleeve surgery. I am happier than I have ever been. You will never regret it! :)

I've lost 92 lbs and I am keeping it off which is key. I was self-pay too and I have been yo-yo dieting since I was 13. This has far and away been the best decision of my life! I basically purchased...

I met with a personal trainer today at a gym owned by a former bariatric patient. We did a 30 minute circuit and she is going to help me get ready for a 5K in April that I am doing with my husband...

I'm 13 months out and I really had to stop myself from ordering sweet & sour pork at a chinese restaurant today. I ended up getting beef & snow peas which was good too and I only could eat about a...

Sounds like something from the 80's movie, Better Off Dead - "Go that way, really fast and if something gets in your way, turn!" Lol! :D

I do pretty well all day on just protein and very few carbs but once the evening rolls around I get really hungry and the sugar cravings kick in and I can't stop myself and I will roam around the...

I went to a fitness center today that specializes in bariatric patients ( one of the owners had the gastric bypass and went from obesity to endurance athlete) and they did a full body scan which...

I'm always hungry around 2 to 2 and a half hours after I eat even with dense protein. I'm especially hungry when I'm in the throes of PMS. I guess I thought I wouldn't feel hungry anymore but that...

I lost a lot of hair from around 4 to 12 months after the surgery. I started taking Biotin (around 6,000 mg a day) and I started using a hair growing shampoo call Revita although others have used...

Gorgeous pics! Congrats! :)

I know another person who had the sleeve done with my surgeon and she has only lost a little comparatively. She still drinks diet soda and drinks while she eats. I think she snacks all day too which...

His health will improve just by having the surgery. I was basically diabetic before the surgery and I couldn't even tie my shoes without losing my breath. In days after the surgery, my blood sugar...

I tried the increased calories idea on New Year's Day and gained 2 pounds. I think I am going to go to just the lean protein and vegetables and lay off the sweets, etc...and see if that works. ...

I'm so conditioned to diet that I don't know that I can eat more calories to kick start my metabolism. Maybe that will work?

I went to the nut and she recommended journaling more and lowering my fat intake which I did and didn't lose anything except for a little that I gained. I'm still stuck.

I danced the night away at a 70's/80's party, no food and one drink. Love my new body and energy! Happy New Year! :)

I'm in exactly the same position. I can't seem to get past this stall. I've tried everything. :(
