Topic: RE: I'm a little frustratec
Thanks for the feedback. Today I got in about 50oz of water. Protein is surprising, 70 grams without counting shakes. Ok I see I have to mix it up a bit.

IMO, 1-2 lbs is pretty good.
There've been a few of us who've gone through this recdently. Until last week, I was losing 1 agonizing pound a week.
This is what I did and it's got me back up to a 2 lb a week weight loss - not great, but better.
Protein over 70 - without shakes
Carbs under 30
Water 10 glasses (80 oz) a day
Did my entire workout backwards - something I read online that stops the "body memory" thing.
Just looking at your food and water intake, I'd say you aren't getting near enough of either one. 8 glasses of water/day is the minimum required and it's based on a sedentary lifestyle. If you are exercising the typical guideline is to add 1 glass of water for every 30 minutes of strenuous work which would put you at 11 glasses of water a day.
I hope this helps. Good luck

Topic: I'm a little frustratec
I am frustrated because my weight loss is slow. My 1st 2 weeks post op I lost 20 lbs. I seem to be losing about a 1-2 lbs a week if that. It seems like I lost maybe an ounce since last week. The week before I was stalled. I am working out at the gym about 4-5 times a week doing the treadmill for about 60 minutes and circuit training for 30 minutes. I'm drinking about 32 oz of water daily and protein is up to 45-50 grams, I've done well with keeping carbs low. Any suggestions? I was sleeved on 10/17

IL Still 11 inches since November 1st. I only measure once a month.
Lost 2 lbs this week which was wonderful because I was getting tired of the 1 lb a week crap. I guess the changes I made worked. WOOHOO! I wanted to be 190 by my surgerversary, but I moved it out to Christmas last week because my WL slowed up so much.
Best wishes to everyone else!

Topic: Weekly Weigh In
Happy Sunday to all my October Sexy Sleevers. It's that time again for our weekly weigh in. I decided to add another category for anyone who is tracking their inches lost...this is my only saving grace to having been stalled for 3 weeks.

Topic: RE: How is everyone?
I have been eating almonds and peanuts without any issues, However my morning breakfasts of banana with peanut butter makes me feel really full, and I eat half of a banana its weird! I also got approval to go off the bariatric vitamins and take regular vitamins with a vitamin b vitamin on the side. I am SO excited!

I did not start tracking inches and now I am sorry I didn't. I went from a size 48 DDD bra to a 42 DD So I am guessing 6 inches arounf the chest. I went from a size 30 pants (I believe 51 inches at the waist and 60 at the hips) to a size 22 pants (41 inches at the waist and 51 at the hips normally)
SO that would mean at least by my clothing I am down
6 inches in the chest
10 inches at the waist
9 inches in the hips
Plus I KNOW I have lost something in the arms
so... 25 inches? WOW
I have been in a stall weight wise too but the inches are what keeps me going!

Topic: RE: How is everyone?
I am good, I am still on the protiens yet, still havent tried veggies, I am going to give it a few more weeks, I am having a hard time getting in 60 grams of protien a day and tired of my nectar. Weird I know or is every one else like that. I do have my good and bad days.
Ohh, I tried peanuts, OHHH,kinda a bad mistake, I had tons of gas, discomfort from it. I do work out, I have such a big goal this summer.
