I am at exactly 34 pounds lost at 9 weeks. I had about a 2-3 week stall right at my third week out. It seemed I lost 20 pounds in about 2 weeks and then it all came to a grinding halt. After the stall, I had a big week (8 pounds) and the past few weeks it is at 2-3 pounds a week. I never know what to expect when I weigh in once a week. I started out quite heavy (301.5 on surgery date and I am only 5'2" tall). And I have also been afraid I am not losing enough fast enough. But I also never was a thin person. I was very healthy and active in college and still weighed a little over 200 pounds. Now I'm almost 43 years old, and I will be amazed if I can get down to 200. So I am just keeping at this, plugging away, and trying not to worry. I'm seeing good results and making solid progress even if I'm not the biggest loser! Just keep the faith!!

Hi everyone, I'm new to this site, but am 9 and a half weeks post-sleeve. I do just fine with beef and pork, but chicken sits like lead in my stomach. I have tried thighs and staying with very moist chicken, but I just can't handle it. I have a good friend who had gastric bypass 8 years ago and she says she still has trouble with chicken. Thanks to everyone who posts here. Although I just registered, I have been reading posts for a couple months and find it very helpful not to feel alone.
