Thank y'all so much! I feel like I have total support unlike my "real life" lol. By eating normally I mean normal everyday food- just tiny portions. For example' date=' we went to dairy queen and I had a half a taco. I drink with my meals cause I absolutely cannot handle food getting stuck in my throat. I don't drink carbonated drinks AT ALL. Yes I tried once without thinking and let me tell you I will never try that again. I have lost 30 lbs total since dos 3/21. I haven't been back to my surgeon because last time I went for a check up the nurse practitioner told me she was very disappointed with my weight loss and I must not be following the rules. At that time I was but I figured o well I might as well do what I want cause apparently it couldn't hurt. I started out with my 22's holding on for dear life and now my 20's are pretty loose but I haven't had to buy anything yet. I paid out I pocket and sometimes I wonder if I'm just sabotaging myself cause I'm not following "the rules". I def get in my Protein but get hungry about every 3 hrs.[/quote']I eat about every 3 hrs too, but I try to have something w Protein. Ex. mozzarella cheese stick, or beef Jerky, or chobany Greek yogurt 0%, or special k Protein shake...oh and SF popsicles 15-25 calories are my fav (no protein).

I was sleeved 3/12/12 and I'm down 35lbs TOTAL. That is definitely NOT great for being 2 1/2 months out :/ and I'm eating "normally". Of course I get all my Protein in first (about 60g daily) and consume about 800 calories daily, with absolutely NO carbonated drinks. At my 6 wk post op check I was consuming 400-500 calories a day and was told by my NUT that I had to up my cals to break my stall....well I have only lost 5 lbs since then..Tomorrow I go in to see my dietitian, we'll see what she tells me now, maybe up my cals again (which freaks me out, sounds like too much). This weight needs to starts dropping! Ugh!

I had to go in today for my 2 month post-op labs so I asked to use the scale while I was there. Guess what? I weighed 11 oz less than I did 5 weeks ago. This was also at 2pm and I'd been fasting since 9 the previous night' date=' so those silly 11 oz weren't really a loss. Not that 11 oz would be a loss anyway.So I'm still good and stalled. Heading into 6 weeks stalled... and 9 weeks sleeved. I have patience, but this is really, really getting ridiculous.[/quote']
I know what ur going through..tomorrow is my 3mo post op appt and I've lost only 5 lbs since my 6 wk post op appointment
I've been doing everything right and can't help feeling disappointed in my self. Everyone keeps saying I'll get there but at this pace its gonna take years!keepin it real

I find myself doing the same thing. I think its because I can't eat too much during my 3 main meals so I end up nibbling here and there...thank goodness for MFP that keeps me on track

Eggs get a lot of people. They go along fine eating the eggs pureed or fried' date=' then they try scrambled and the eggs make them sick. It's a guessing game sometimes, but it does get better![/quote']
So true, I have tried eggs in an omelet and did ok. But this weekend I tried a fried egg (Pam spray) and it made me so sick...why is that?

Aww, my husband told me he loved me the way I was and that I didn't need to have the surgery. Now, that I had it he tells me that he's proud of me for doing what I wanted and he still thinks I didn't need the surgery :-) We all have a loving man by our side!! It's wonderful!

All I can say is that I bumped them up yesterday and felt icky. I don't like eating that many carbs. Today I was one lb less but I had to take a Water pill because I was holding onto that much Water. I know what you mean cuz I feel that way too when I read about other people. I keep praying that by me losing this slowly' date=' maybe I then will not have sagging skin or lose my hair.[/quote']
That's what I'm hoping too. The slower pace might help our body react by not having loose skin.

Me too. Tonight I tried bumping up my calories and carbs to see if I could trick my body.
Well let me know how that works out for u...I dont think I should compare my journey w others but it makes me a lil worried when I read how many ppl lose so much weight so fast :/

Omg! I have been an extremely slow loser as well.. I was in a stall for about 3 wks, and then dropped 2 lbs in a wk and half. This is too slow, I am wondering when the weight loss will continue. Started at 262 now at 228 :/ I'm 9 wks out tomorrow.
