    Red face Weight is stuck

    Had the sleeve on January 9th this year so I'm about 4 months post-op. Lost 30 lbs the first month, then the end of February, all of March and April and May I've only lost about 10 lbs. Went about 5-6 weeks with no weight loss. Was so frustrated - I'm about 700 calories a day, protein is about 60 g which I know needs to be more and I know I don't drink enough water. But I'm doing everything else right. Nutrionist and doctor say they're not worried. I'm 67 and I was not a big eater before - gained about 75 lbs in 2 years due to surgeries, breast cancer, broken bones, etc. Metabolism was a problem before and the cancer drug they told me slows down metabolism more. Trying to stay positive that the weight loss is about 1/2 lb a week but I guess as long as I'm still losing and not gaining it's a good thing. I have 60 more lbs at least to go and at this rate it'll take me 2 years.

    Hang in there, I just recently went through a three week stall and I was driving myself crazy then suddenly I lost a pound then another the next day and within a week I lost four. Your stall will break! You will see everyone will pretty much says the same thing. It is so hard not to panic and get frustrated but your weight loss will suddenly start up again. Your body seems to need to take breaks to readjust to all the changes! The best thing is to be able to vent about it on here because we all understand the frustrations and the feelings of panic when the stall hits. Your weight loss will not go as quick as your first few months and it will slow but it will also have stalls and then suddenly start going again.

    I think you are actually not eating enough so your body is eating muscle opposed to just fat. I suggest doing everything you can to up your food intake. Best of luck to you.




    Starting weight 328
    pre-op weight- 298
    1 month out- 262
    2 month out- 244
    3 month out- 227
    4 month out- 215
    5 month out- 203
    6 month out- 195
    7 month out- 194 in 1 month stall
    8 month out- 192
    9 month out-190
    10 month out-
    11 month out-
    12 month out-

    Whenever my weight began to stall I would begin again when I ate a little more. Usually it was because I was eating too little.

    Eat more protein. Drink more water (at least 1/2 your body weight in ounces....200lbs = 100ounces)
