I was getting desperate last night, but didn't drink naked juice n had Applejuice instead. Worked like a charm (thank God).

160.7 last Saturday..... 158.7 this Monday Morning!
That's 112.5 pounds lost!
My one year surgiversary is April 3rd!

I'm an addict. Hands down! I love food. I'm actually proud of myself for not actually giving in, even if I know it will get me sick.

And he did the liquid diet with me for 10 days. He modified it with fruit and veggies in his shakes. Post op I caught him eating a salad all by himself in the laundry room so he wouldn't make me feel bad because I couldn't eat lol. Poor guy

I'm so gullible!

I was sleeved the 18th I was down 30 pounds back up one pound this week so loss of 29 pounds 250 down to 221. I haven't lost this week so I guess I am a in the dreaded 3rd week stall. Doing great getting around 70-80 oz of fluids and about 50 grams of Protein right now!!

Lol! I'm from South Jersey by Philadelphia. I'm a half day post op yeah!!!

I am one month post op today. Yay me! Life is so good! Surgery and recovery have been ideal. Did 3 weeks of liquids and 10 days so far of soft foods and learning how to treat my new tiny tummy. I have been good to it thus far by following my post op diet to the T. My new tiny tummy has in return, treated me exceptionally well. I believe we are going to get along just fine.
My stats after one month are 13 lost on pre-op and 17 lost since surgery. Again, yay me!
Now for "the thing" My stats are NOT the most important thing!! WTF?? I didn't see that one coming! At all!
I have not lost a single pound in over 10 days. I know by the million and ten OMG! I'm 3 weeks out and hit a major stall what is happening to me my surgery didn't work threads that the chances of my scale getting in on that action was was pretty high and sure enough, my scale is determined to be the life of that party. This too shall pass.
What I didn't see coming was "the thing". During this adjustment of not losing weight, my way of thinking has taken on a life of it's own. It did not freak out, didn't run for the nearest Taco Bell or Margarita with Mexican food. Every time I stepped on the scale it would say your body is going through a huge adjustment and it will catch up. Be patient. I would step off the scale shrug and think yep, still adjusting. No big deal. Maybe even a good thing? I have made huge changes and I am still adjusting to them, so to be fair, my body needs time to adjust as well. I am listening to my body, giving it what it needs and it won't fail me. I know this now. I have never known this before. When did this happen? I don't know but it is coursing through me and I plan to never let it get away.
One month out and I feel different. I physically feel better, I know I look better, but most importantly, my outlook and new knowledge feel so powerful and I know that I am in control. It may take my body longer to get to the healthy weight that it needs to be but "the thing" is, it will get there. I know this to be true now. Finally.

I'm in the slow loser boat too! I'm 6 weeks out and have lost 24 lbs (14 of that was the FIRST WEEK!) So that makes the other 10 I lost about 1.6 lbs per week. I haven't been on here as much because there are so many opinions but everyone on this post said it right = we are all individuals! I am looking forward and not backwards. I WILL lose this weight whether it takes a few months or a few years. I could have never got as far as I have without my sleeve and that pleases me to think about it. I'm still in a size 16 and can still fit in most of my pre-surgery clothes, but I can't let that get me down! I just keep telling myself a "slow loss" is better than "no loss", and a "stall" is not a "stop"!
NSV's for me:
-people have noticed my weight loss, especially in my face
-I can sleep on my side comfortably
-I can wipe myself easily after going to the restroom (TMI but its true!!)
-I can control my portions
-I don't get sad when I walk in my closet - I know my size is going to go DOWN!
Blessings to everyone on their journey's - especially the slow losers! Keep the faith!
