Hi Vicki,

I was sleeved in June with orders to stick to 600-800 calories/day. I've followed that, but hit stalls anyways. I just remember it has to come off eventually. It just seems impossible to eat that little without losing weight.

My weight loss at first was erratic. Then for a few months, I was losing a little every day. For the last month I've been hitting 1-2 week stalls, followed by a few pounds dropped. Don't know why. Possibly not drinking enough to keep things regular.

I think the number of calories are an element. But so is protein, exercise, water, etc.

How are you feeling about your weight loss? You look great!

Vicki, I too hit a stall in late October/November. I have read others commonly hit one in that time as well, but mine went long because of life stress and me not paying as much attention. I still lost, but .1 or .2 a week instead of 2 - 3 lbs.

Periodically our bodies just have to readjust it seems. I know that after mom's funeral when I started paying attention again, I went back to the basics. A shake driving to work, a greek yogurt for morning break, soup for lunch, quest bar for afternoon snack, reasonable dinner and making sure I took my supplements things turned around again and have been going pretty well now.

I'd keep doing what you are doing for a week or two at least. Make sure you aren't nibbling without logging, and you are getting in all your protein and water.

You DO look great and have done so well on this. I'm sure things will come together and you'll be back in loss mode soon.

I'm stalled since Dec 1 - just wait, it will break eventually. Our bodies have been through a major shock.
