Sorry, I don't have any advice for you other than to hang on and it will happen. I've read tons of posts on here where people have gotten into a stall and then all of a sudden it stops and the lbs start to come off. I've also read where our bodies go into starvation mode and try to hold on to what they have because we are no longer feeding them as we were. The body is a strange creature. I am also in a stall even though I am pre-op. I have been on a 1200 cal. diet since 10/2. In Oct. I lost 16 lbs. As of today, 11/25, I have lost 18 lbs. I have stalled terribly this month alone. Have not lost a pound since 11/3. But, I just keep plugging along and stay on my diet every day. And exercise...have to exercise... I know this doesn't solve your problem but stick with it. I'm sure you will be oh so happy soon when the lbs start to go! Good luck!

I'm type one and have been sleeved for 1.5 years, I used to take 60 units of novolin N and R and now barely take any. I didn't take more than 3-5 units a day while on liquids and now I take 3-5 units every few days. I feel like I cured myself. But as always talk to your doctor .

Nope. I think I may have some 38s and maybe a 40 or 2. I'm into 32 and 34 inch waistlines now.

I decided on the sleeve basically because I did not want my intestines re-routed, the malnutrition issues and risk of internal hernia at the incision sites. I found the sleeve to be more of a straightforward procedure...remove 85% of my stomach, done. The rest is on me.

Your weight will move up and down all of the time. There are a number of things that cause this. It's perfectly normal. Remember you are still healing and adjusting to the new you.

I'm surprised Bluebonnet isn't on there I think it tastes awesome....very fine powder and not grainy at all. 1 scoop = 26P, 3Carbs, 116Cal.
Ingredients= whey Protein isolate, natural vanilla flavor, stevia extract.
It is micro filtered, no artificial sweeteners/flavors.

As I was sitting in my chair at work today, I noticed something felt weird about my tummy. It just didn't feel right when I sat. Then I realized it's because my tummy now curves INWARD when I sit, and no longer pooches over my thighs in a lovely half moon. haha

thanks anyway! Congrats on your great progress !

I had surgery Feb 26th. I have lost 75 lbs and am down to 162lbs. I am 30 lbs away from my goal an 12 lbs away from my doc's goal. I feel pretty good. Exercising a bunch and drinking tons of Water. Constipation a real issue, but working through that with stool softeners, Miralax, milk of magnesia. I exercise 4 days a week at the gym and am active everyday either walking, exercise tape, riding my bike, something. I keep it low carb. Slipping rarely. Happy I did this.

Month 7 for me and I am finally at 175 lbs. it's 95 lbs now and size 11 junior jeans!!! 15 lbs to go!! I am almost home!

Today I turn 32 years old! What a difference a year makes! 90 pds lost, no hyptertension, no high cholesterol, no depression or anxiety, I went from a size 22/24 to a 14, & I am happier than Ive ever been!!!!
HW 320lbs
Cw 230lbs
Height 5'9
Happy Birthday to me!!!!

Weighing 174 these days..... 34lbs to my goal
This was at a wedding a couple weeks ago. Dress is size 14... I can fit into a 10 but my boobs can't... Lol
This was a month earlier.... My birthday night out. This dress was a Medium!!!!!

Get a sample or try some from a friend. I threw away the better part of a tub of the ON strawberry banana because it was awful.

Will be 6 months post op on 8/28/13 and will have lost 68lbs!!! Woohoo
My goal weight is 145... So at 177 now I don't have far to go.
Here's a picture of my progress. It's been hard at times others very difficult but sooo worth it!
Started at 20-22 size and now wear a medium or 10/12.
Just bought a juniors 13 dress at Deb's for my daughters 16th birthday in October!!!!

Thank you, Suejersey and JustSayMoe!

You will! Don't let the scale overwhelm you. Remember this is a life long journey and change in lifestyle/eating behaviors. So everything you are doing is bettering yourself for the long term! I am no "special" person, in fact I thought "I" would be the "one person" who this wouldn't work for and guess what.....it is working!
Try to enjoy life while on the journey as well, don't let the scale and the weight loss overshadow all the other wonderful things going on in your life. It helped for me to just live and start to "really live" so that I didn't put life on hold while I was losing.
Before you know it you'll be a few months out and then the clothes start getting to big and then people start noticing and then you get even more excited about getting healthy and fit and all the while you are learning new healthy habits. The sleeve is a beautiful thing and you are beautiful working your sleeve!

I'm going through something simular. I was sleeved on June 17th. I'm down 30lbs since surgery. The last few weeks I have been at a standstill and today when I weighed myself I had actually gained 3lbs! Im trying to
KEEP CALM
AND
WORK THE SLEEVE.

For those stuck in a stall, just keep doing what you are doing. I finally, finally saw some scale movement. After about 6 weeks of being stuck, the scale is finally moving. I tried every trick in the book but in the end I just trusted the process. I did stop logging my food because it was just making me crazy to see how little I was eating and not getting any results. If I feel myself slipping I'll start logging my food again. Mainly I keep track of my activity with my fitbit. Trying very hard to make my 10,000 steps a day goal. Not so easy when you have a desk job. Just 1.8lbs to go before I drop below 200.
We can do this!
Weightloss since surgery: 39.2
Weightloss pre-op: 48
Total loss: 87.2

I average 10lbs a month. Totally healthy loss and grateful that it's 10 lbs down and not up each month.

10 a month has been my average now and at 1st I was not happy with it but now I realize it's a healthy loss. Hubby lost his faster and now he is getting his gallbladder out. So 10 lbs a month works just fine for me- I am not interested in having my gallbladder out now, lol.
