Thanks lessofme! I know what I need to do but its still hard and frustrating.

I think i have hit the famous 3 week stall. I am 3 weeks out today and I have not lost anything in the past 3 days. I was losing 1 to 2 pounds everyday. Time to ignore the scale, right. Put it away for a while. I did start goin to the gym this week. Doin cardio only for right now. I guess I should take measurements and see if those move. Should have done that anyway. Guess nothing to do but hang in there and it will pass.

I cooked this tonight just on the stove, I forgot the cream cheese but it was GREAT! Put some in freezer and will add cc to some tomorrow. Thanks for the idea!

I am usually taking in about 300 to 400 calories a day but today I took in 600. What is everybody taking in? Ive done real good, have lost 15.5 lbs in 2 weeks and 30 in 4 weeks.

I am 13 days post op and it doesn't take much to wear me out. A trip to grocery store for 2 hrs. Just did me in this evening. Slacked on my protein today though. I slept a lot t oday.

Hey Sandy,my maiden name is Knudson! That's cool.

You look great! Congratulations!

You rock!!! Awesome job!

That's great that you all have lost so much in just 5 months! I am 12 days post op and down 12.5 lbs since surgery day and 27 total including 2 week pre op. I am at 242 as of today and my goal is 180, sure hope I can get there.

Congratulations!! That is so awesome! Can't wait til I can say the same thing!

I did the same thing. I am 11 days post and after my one week I hadn't lost a darn thing. I was sorta upset. Then the next couple of days following....wow I was down 2.5 lbs then 2 days later another 3 lbs down. It will start to come off. Just take a deep breath and it el happen. Like it just falls off. Good luck!

I am 11 days post op and have had the same feelings the first few days. I now have lost 11.6 pounds since surgery day and 25.4 total from my 2 week pre op. It does get better! I promise. You got this! Stay strong and remember why we did this in the first place! If you ever need to talk....I am here, along with tons of others on this site. We are here to help each other! Stay strong,good luck:)

Hello and welcome to the losers bench. I am only 9 days post op but have seen a lot of people hitting stalls even at 3 weeks post op. Seems to be a very normal thing. Congratulations on your 30 lbs loss! That's awesome. For what I gather,we hit stalls to allow our bodies to catch up with the weight loss we have had. Some say up ur calories a little or up ur protein intake and this may jump start losing again. Good luck to you and great job.

Jan.30th here. I am down 7.6 lbs since surgery and 22 lbs since start of preop at 2 weeks prio to surgery. Not too bad.

Congratulations! I love reading about NSV. I am only 8 days post op but pulled a pair of shorts out to walk around the block and they were so big I had to roll them up at the waist! Awesome feeling and I know there is so much more to come! Can't wait!

Thanks guys! I am glad I am doing well too!

Hell fellow sleevers! Had my 1 wk check. Down 19 lbs since preop. So 19 lbs in 3 weeks!! That's about 5 lbs sin e surgery day. Wow! Can't say I have ever lost that much weight in 6 weeks much less in 3!!! Got to have low fat cheese omelete and some low fat cottage cheese for dinner! Omg! It was so yummy. Got about 1 egg and 4 small bites of cottage cheese down and was very full and satisfied. Loving my tool! Good luck to you all!

Thanks guys for your encouragement! I was down 2 more lbs today!

I am 7 days post op and have only lost 2 lbs.!! I lost 16 lbs. in the 2 weeks preop stage. Is this common? I feel as I should be down more than that!! Please advise!

I haven't got to that stage yet but I have seen where people have posted that they have done that. I just don't know if I could eat it though. Good luck.

I am not scheduled to get staples removed until 2 wk postop. I am 5 days post now and they are itching like crazy! When did some of u have them removed?

Congrats!! You look amazing!

Congrats!! Can't wait!

I had surgery on 1/30 and I have not had much nausea but do have some pain and a lot of soreness and discomfort. Mainly at the biggest site where they removed my stomach. I have 20 staples total from the 7 incisions. Each day has gotten better. Gasx does help. I know it takes time for recovery! Hang in there. We are in this together.

Well its done...surgery that is! I sleep about an hour at a time. Pain is not too bad right now. Got my catheter out just now! Yay. Been up walking a couple of times now. Will be doin leak test sometime this morning and then can have water or something! Can't wait!!
