Hi Tony and welcome. Congrats on your decision. I was terrified too with the thought of not being able to eat my comfort foods but today is exactly 6 weeks after my procedure and I have found so much more to focus on. I now enjoying cooking and baking for others even though i cant taste it. I have found other things to keep me busy after recovery such as crocheting, word search puzzles, exercising (i actually enjoy it now), gardening. Stuff I always wanted to do but thought i didnt have time. well now i have time. i know crocheting and gardening dont sound too exciting but they keep me calm and busy. Before if i was stressed I would want to go eat something. Start thinking about things that are easy for you to do after surgery, good luck!

Hi I am new to this forum. I had the sleeve procedure in early September. Its been 5 weeks, I've lost 31 lbs. but have not lost any weight in the past two weeks. I've been working out daily, even started jogging recently. Something I havent been able to do for YEARS. Is it possible to plateau this early after the procedure?
