I was sleeved on March 19 and have been at a stall for 12 days.. I'm shocked to hear it could last 7 weeks... (

I was afraid to tell my family and I was shocked when I gkt hugs and total support! It made this journey so much easier. I am sorry for those who have friends and family who do not " get it" and do not show support. It just may be scary for them to of you having surgery period. (Which I get) You are doing this for yourself and if you have comorbs this is totally the healthy choice! Keep your chin up and just do it it is soooo worth it! I was sleeved at gbmc in MD on 3/19/13. I have hit the dreaded 3rd week stall and I haven't moved an oz in 12 days. I am 20.5 lbs down between pre and post op so far... it seems slow but its faster then anything I've ever done on my own. Again...IT IS SOOOOOO WORTH IT!

Hey everyone.... how are you doing?

Hey everyone... how are you doing?

Sleeved March 19 SW 236 pre op diet Operation day was 228 CW 218.5 Total WL = 17.5 lbs Today I went back to work and my pants fit.... not the standard hold your breath and hope for no splits. I mean they actually fit lol. I can't wait to drop a size but since I've been on the dreaded 3 week stall I haven't lost since Wed. I might be a slow loser too. But ill take it. A loser is a loser which makes me feel like a WINNER! woohoo!

I'm blocked on fb. But can you post the link? That's a great idea

I have read about the 3rd week stall and it seems to be a standard thing w sleevers. 32 lbs is awesome! Congrats

Sherrie/skinnyminded. I came on here just now looking to see if it was normal to be feeling hungry at just under 3 weeks... I can't stand to eat my shake in the morning and I feel full easy .. but it doesnt last. I was sleeved march 19 and post/pre I am 18 lbs down.. I am so worried feeling hungry like this is not normal. For those who were sleeved in early march... how was it at weeks 3 and 4 for you?

Jenah!! How are you doing???

I'm having a hard time with this as well. I just don't want anything. I have a playtex sippy that looks like a small travel coffee cup. The only way I can sort of tolerate it is to just holding it to my mouth and taking a few drops at a time.... what a chore. Who would have thought this would be the hard part.

Jenah. I'm so sorry to hear about your attack. at least now you have about 15 new buddies on here who can walk you through it. Hope everyone is well. I earned anothrr night in the hospital because I can't hold anything down. They switched my meds and holefully it does the trick.

Janet I had it jn Towson maryland. I can't hold anything down amd the stomach pain is still there but mostly fro. Throwing up. How did. Everyone else make out

Just thinking of everyone who had morning surgeries. Heading to the hospital now.

Muuaahahahaha I'm sorry that's not really funny its it kind of is... lol. Now why would they issue stupid numbers like 13 and 666. Stay positive!

Dee and Janet I'm jealous your in warm sunny mexico. Its freezing rain and bone chilling here.

130 for me today. I'm excited for everyone and I can't wait to talk about it with you all after! Good luck and I will be thinking about everyone. Slim... you are gonna do great and you're gonna be so healthy for many years ahead with your kids.

Linda. I am packing ... chapstick, gasex strips, sugar free halls, a heating pad and a small firm pillow to help get in and out of bed.

You are going to be posting on here your success story before you know it.

Freaked out and super excited! you're def not alone!

Ischmeekle and deejack. Have a safe trip to mexico and keep us posted if you can.

Hey Slim! Reality really does sneak in when you get the final green light. It is so scary but I think I am more afraid of the "what if I don'ts" I am looking forward to hearing how well everyone is doing after the big day!
