Wow your definitely doing more than me lol. Yea your right we will get through it :-) thanks for the encouragement.

I definitely feel your pain Art!! Ughhh it's real stressful and depressing. How many calories are you having a day??

Yea I know what you mean about the slowest loser me too but they say the less you had to lose the slower you will go.

What is the longest stall everyone has had?? I was sleeved Sept. 17 and my first stall lasted about 2 weeks. This time it's been about 3 weeks and I'm nervous. Now that I my calorie intake is higher I'm scared I won't lose the weight. I have about 900 to 1200 cal a day it varies from day to day. Does anyone have any advice as to what I can do to jump start my weight loss again??

Well I'm 3.5 months out and I think I will be with calories

Has anyone completed the Insanity workout or started it and what are your results?? I'm hearing some crazy stuff about this workout. People passing out and vomiting etc.... If anyone has advice or tips please let me know.

Thanks guys I'm trying and everyday is a learning curve. That is awesome we have the same stats! What date is your surgery?? I would like to keep up with you.

Surgery 9/17 weight 204, size 16 Weight today 167 , size 10

Day of surgery 9/17 weighed 204 Today 167 Went from a size 16 to 10 :-)

How bad is the scar with the arm lift??

Day of surgery 9/17 weighing 204 Today 167 I went from a size 16 to a 10 so exciting!

Surgery date 9/17 starting weight 204, todays weight 175

I remember feeling the same way and wondering what the hell did I do to myself. Its definitely an adjustment leaving behind that lifestyle that was all about food. I remember realizing 2 weeks post op, that in my old life everything revolved around food and now what was I to do. Good thing is as the weeks go on things get easier and you lose weight and you learn to live a normal life and fit new things in where food use to be :-)

Congratulations!!!! I cant wait until I have lost 40lbs :-)

THANK GOD for each and every one all yall and the advice everyone gave! I woke up today and THE STALL IS OVER!!! i LOST 2lbs! I can't explain how happy I am to be losing again :-)

This has been great advice. I know the crackers and chips are horrible, they just go down so easy (convienence needs to get out life) lol. I'am in the mushy stage still and I think I'm gonna go today and get me some soups and greek yogurt and eat more scrambled eggs. What greek yogurt has the most protein?? Everyones input has helped so much, thank you!

Ok here is the deal I got sleeved Sept 17, and the first week went great. I went into the 2nd week and had lost a total of 15lbs. The end of the 2nd week stopped losing and have never started back since. My appetite has become bigger, I can take down about 700 to 800 cal a day. I eat Soups and crackers and snack size chips go down well. I know I shouldnt be eating these crackers and chips. One day I actually gained 2lbs, how is that happening if I only ate 800 cal in a day. I got them to come off by eating only 350 calories the next 2 days but no other weight loss. I would just like some input on what to eat at the beginning of week 4. Any input from others that went through this .......please. Question: Now that we have a smaller stomach how many calories must we be limited to, so that we lose weight?? I know before if I ate anywhere near 800 to 1000 calories i would lose like crazy. So now that we have smaller stomach does it take a lot less calories to lose weight??

I was sleeved Sept 17 and the scale stopped at 15lbs lost about 3 days ago. Has anyone else had this problem and if so what was the result. Im so upset about this but at the same time coming to a sad realization that without food I dont have much of a life. I had food when I was bored, sad, happy, mad, or just for something to do. I didnt realize how much food consumed my life until now. Tonight I plan on writing things down I can do that dont include food and try and integrate these things into my new life. P.S. Thank goodness for this forum and all your support!

Thanks everyone for your input. I found something that works perfect for me. Smoothie king has a protien shake called Slim trim and you have the option to make it skinny which makes it only 187 calories with 15 grams of protien. It goes down well :-)

I had reflux prior and had it worse after surgery. Good thing is it seems as if each day that goes by and my body gets used to my new stomach it gets better everday :-)

Today is day 6 and I'm just wondering if I'm doing everything right. I feel like I'm not eating enough and that I'm losing weight too fast. Maybe something I'm doing wrong. Right now I'm eating sugar free popsicles during the day (like 2 day) and drinking liquids like G2 or Crystal light. I cant drink that much at one time so I probably only finish about 1 bottle a day. I was told by a cousin of mine that I need protein. I tried drinking a low carb slim fast (20grams of protein) I got about 1/3 of it down and feel sick. So I just wanted to get advice on what others are eating on day 6 and what I should be eating by now. Today is day 6 and I have lost 11 lbs.
