mimismom. you are not alone. it will be a year for me in sept i have lost 53lbs. it bothers me because when i got the sleeve i felt it was just the tool i needed' date=' now i wish i hadnt gotten it. i also eat good foods and yes i might slip on something but nothing like before the sleeve. i never get over 1700 cals some days lower some days higher. i get all my Protein, Water in, it seems after 6 months it just stopped no matter what i did. i started working out hoping that will kick it in gear and ended up gaining 8lbs and no it wasnt muscle weight at all. my clothes were tighter also. i just lost 5 lbs of it but my scale goes from 217 to 225 for the last 6 months, so i completely understand.

lipstick youa re to funny girl. i like what your saying is at the bottom of your page. i need to find my motivation because right now i dont have any[/quote']

I'm in the same boat as you my dear... I been stuck at 215-220 up & down for weeks!! It's so depressing & aggravating!! If you get any good tips please share...

Hi.... Congrats on your pregnancy... I was sleeved on 2/4/13 so ima about 7months in... I just found out yesterday that I'm prego... I have very mix feelings.. I'm super happy & extra scared! So I totally understand how you feel...I'm trying to see my gyn ASAP... Cuz my surgeon has no opening till December!! That's nuts!! She will prolly be upset anyways.... I'm 18lbs from reaching my gold & it's very hard for me to conceive.. I have a miracle baby girl she is 6 now she is my everything..... One thing my dr. Stress was waiting 2yrs before u try to conceive & it happy to me this fast... It's unbelievable... I'm still shock can't believe it till I see it lol but every question you asked I would like to no myself if anyone reply to your forum please forward me some info... Thanks ...

Thank you so much for your reply.. Congrats on your pregnancy!! it is a blessing I'm going to see my gyn sometime next week for sure... I got sleeved on 2/4 I'm honestly sooooooo scared... I have a 6yr daughter that begs me everyday for a sister it was so hard to have her she is my miracle baby... Haven't been prego since!! I have a whole in one of my Fallopian tubes & it makes it very difficult for me to carry a baby.... So like I said before I'm super happy but scared becuz it's so soon after my surgery... I'm 18lbs away from my goal but at this moment in life who cares!!! I leave it in gods hands he knows best....

I'm so confused & I my dr has no appointments available till like December.. I'm so confused... Ladies talk to me please.. I'm feeling down

everything has to be put into perspective - i totally get it that you/or anyone else doesn't feel great about losing their hair

15 years ago - breast cancer/chemo got rid of all my hair for months

BUT - Hair loss was my main side effect

like OP said hair will grow back

never experienced vomitting

i was nausious though

but the other side effect of the chemo - is i am alive and well - here to tell you my story

i know there are many others here that have gone through similar health "issues"

if hair loss is the main "problem" in order to lose our weight and get healthy

I say its worth it all

bald is beautiful

Your story meant a lot to me... God bless you

10/23 surgery date down 70 pounds. I feel great. However I think I'm stuck not losing much for the past few weeks. I try not to obsess about the scale and do the right thing. Ughhhh anyone stuck?

Yea me!! I been the same weight for like a month now... The scale is not moving... I eat soooooo much.. Like every 1hr on the 1hr I'm hungry.. Nothing is working... I only lost 40lbs since my surgery which was on 2/4/13 I feel the same I feel no difference I lost so much of my hair it's depressing... I wear wigs now... U not alone... I just don't no what to do

Way to go!!!!!!!!! :D

Hi... I was sleeved on 2/04/13 I only lost 40lbs I don't feel the difference I feel the same weight & I eat sooooooo much... I lost a lot of my hair... I feel like a mess... Do you have any of these?

Ugh!! I'm in the same situation my close friends & family no.. But I tell my co workers diet & excerise also...& I feel the same way u feel I want to curse them out but I need my job lol I'm 30lbs down now I was sleeved on 2/4 I should've lost more by now but i stay hungry... As long as I don't gain I'm good....

Sleeved 2/4. Down 20 pounds total. 18 the first two weeks and then nothing for two weeks and then 2 more this last week.

I'm in the same situation same exact #s :-( I been stalling for 3weeks now ugh

Surgery 2/6 down 22 - have been in a stall for the past 10 days....

Me 2... It's so depressing when you stall.. U feel like is this it?! Is this all I'm going to loose? I walk alot drink plenty of fluids... & stalling 3weeks now the scale has not moved.. I'm thinking I'm I over eating? Even tho I can't eat much? Like what is happening :-(

I am also in a bit of a stall. I have decided that if the scale hasn't moved by tomorrow' date=' it's time to switch things up. I am considering the following:

Adding extra calories a couple days a week (as other posters have suggested)

Going to a liquid diet for a few days (Dr. suggested this on Wed when I mentioned I was frustrated)

Doing the Atkins induction phase for 2 weeks and SEVERELY limiting carbs (I already limit carbs but it's definitely not under 20 per day)

Good luck- and dont worry, it'll break!

It's time to switch things up for sure.. Thanks hun.

Awwww... hang in there! Notice the operative word "YET" - I fully expect them as part of the process.

Go try on smaller clothes - you might be surprised!!

We'll all be here to Celebrate when yours breaks! Stay focused' date=' you've got this!!![/quote']

Thank you :-)

I don't weigh myself daily and I bump my calories up a few times a week to keep my body confused. I'm in week #11 now' date=' no stalls...yet![/quote']

Lucky you..

it'll break.... try changing up your routine. add extra calories for a day...it could help fool your body into thinking the 'famine' is over and it can let the fat/water go.....good luck...I know stalls can be frustrating since mine just broke today.

Thank you... & I will add extra calories :-)

up your Water and Protein are you exercising how many cal.or you get in a day!!I stall and I up mt Water and walk more and it help...Hang in there..

Thank you & I will drink more water.. I walk alot but ill be back in that gym Monday can't wait to start loosing & smiling again...

When will I ever loose weight?! I been stalling for 3weeks now! What is the issue... What iam I doing wrong.. What should I add to my diet? Someone help me break this it's starting to depress me... I'm post -op 6weeks now wth?!!

Congrats to you my luv... It's a change in our lives but so worth it.. I'm 5weeks post-op I start the gym on Monday can't wait..Cuz I been stalling with the same weight for 2weeks & it's very depressing...it makes me feel like I wasted my time doing the surgery cuz I'm not loosing anything.. But n e good luck to you your on the right path...

I feel the same way' date=' hungry the sooo full then hungry. The hardest thing is not being able to drink. I hate waiting, finding it very difficult.[/quote']

Yea I don't like that either I feel like the food is just stuck there... I take a tiny sip of Water wen I get that stuck feeling its to uncomfortable..

I'm still this way.... about 7-1/2 months out. I eat a little at a meal until I am satisfied (not full) and then about two hours later' date=' my sleeve is EMPTY. I have a little fridge under my desk at work and keep Atkins Protein shakes and greek yogurt in it. I also have Protein bars in a desk drawer. I have breakfast around 6:30 am, a snack around 9-9:30 am, lunch around 11 am, snack around 2 pm and supper around 6 pm. (And a sugar free 40 calories fudgesicle at 8 pm.)[/quote']

Do you still have to wait 30 mins to drink something after you eat? It's so annoying I feel like my food is just stuck in my throat not moving n e where till I drink something smh

I feel hungry all the time. I spoke to my doctor yesterday and he said ..it's ok and eat every two hours but chose Protein first. I carry Protein bars with me everyday in my purse just in case I get hungry.

Good idea thanks ladies.. I need some Snacks

Is it just me... I'm post op 5weeks started eating solid food on Thursday.. I eat I get full so fast & after like 2hours I'm sooooo hungry like I haven't ate all day... Is it me? Or is this life after the sleeve??

I was just wondering if anyone has experienced very minimal weight loss after 2 week post. I am post a month and from week 2 to 4 there has been a 2 lb loss. There is no way I am eating enough that the intake calories vs deficit of a 338 lb man are being met. What am I ding wrong?

I feel the same way it's been exactly.. Im post op 1 month now & I'm not losing n e thing.. I lost 20lbs & that was it.. I'm stalling 2weeks now & Im barley eating... I don't no what I'm doing wrong but you not alone babe... I don't no how some ppl are loosing so much..

What kind of Snacks is everyone talking about?

Thanks guys.. That's been a great help...

I'm post-op almost 4 weeks & I don't want anything.. I don't want liquids I def. don't want purée.. I don't Know what to do.. I Try to eat smash up plantains & it hurt my chest & tummy all night.. Is any one else post-op & having a dont want nothing issue? I haven't had a Protein Shake in a week.. I'm so tired of it!! Ew!
