  • I (male, 46) had the gastric sleeve on 6/4/14 (7 weeks ago). Started at 291 pounds the day before surgery and according to the bathroom scale I weighed 261 this morning. I plateaued for a bit around week 4 but now seem to be losing 2-3 pounds per week as my body adjusted. I felt a lot better once I was allowed to hit the…

  • I recently downloaded myfitnesspal to my iPad. While the phone and web version add my exercise calories to my calories for the day (ex: if I burn 400 calories doing cardio, I get an extra 400 for my day's total), the iPad version doesn't. So, since I'm usually on the ipad and not the pc in the evening, I have to remember…

Whenever I see I'm doing that I almost always add calories (not junk food) to my diet and then find I lose a pound or two within a day. Also, you may be adding mussel and losing…

  • Eat more? I find that after I have a day where I've gone off diet and eaten more than usual my body decides its ready to let some weight go. For example, Wed I ate very little, worked out and lost no weight. Yesterday I had two meals out at work where I didn't control portion size (just took guesses) and ate a normal…
