4 months down and weight loss stalled since last 2 month - help!!
Hi - i got my VSM done on Oct 24 and lost awesome weight for the first 2 months, about 50 pounds and since the past 2 months have not lost an iota of weight, infact some days put on 2-3 lbs and then back to the stalled weight.
This is disheartening and depressing me deeply as I am doing everything i can with no positive results. is this normal? i really need to lose 132 pounds in at least a year, by Oct 2013 and now this target looks difficult.
What more do i do to lose weight now? HELP!!
Struggling with the new sleeve
I know that without direction and guidance that it would have been so much more difficult. I had a list of food that I could and couldn't eat and I just followed that list. I still check in with my doctor every month to keep myself accountable and my weight in check. It's not easy to take charge of yourself and your weight but you can do it. Track everything and focus on the results. You need to make the best of your sleeve during the first year because it gets harder as you go out. Good luck to you.

Stalls are normal and they happen to everyone, but two month stall this soon seems a bit much. Please give us more information about what you are eating your calorie intake, how many carbs, how much protein, how much water, exersice, etc. If you are not already tracking this then please start. MyFitnessPal.com or the associated smart phone app is a great way to track these things.
Stalls do not happen to everyone! Two months is NOT a stall. It really is pretty simple. Follow a good plan and you will lose weight again. 80-100 grams of protein, 40 or less grams of carbs and fat. Eat "lean and clean". Once you have rid your body of the affects of white sugar and carbs you will feel better and won't crave those foods anymore. Lean protein and fresh vegetables. Also, exercise! Take a 30 minute walk everyday or join an exercise class or swim.
