Wow, that is a slow loss. How many calories are you consuming a day? Are you using My Fitness Pal or another application to track all of your intake (food, Water, Vitamins etc)? Has your surgeon said anything about your weight loss in your follow up appointments? How is your post-op blood work looking? Have your thyroid levels been checked? I'm sure you must be so frustrated with such a small weight change. I hope you figure out why your body is so atypical soon!

For exercise, I walk at least 2 miles 5 days/week. 3 times a week I add hip hop abs, rocking body or WII games and this week I've started weight training x 2 days...

Thanks for all the encouraging words, I'm working on a plan...lol. For the record, I have lost 20 lbs in 4 weeks (no surgery/diet&exercise)

Sleeved 4/22. Down 18 lbs...stalled since week 2 :'(

4/22 here! 4days postop...starting full liquids. ...

I have heard that Biotin helps with hair loss but my nutritionist swears the Hair loss is due from lack of Protein

Try on a pair of Nike free 3.0. I love my Nike frees.

My losses have been excellent - according to my surgeons office exceeded expectations considering my high BMI.
Here is the trick - don't use the lapband tricks you learned to try to trick the sleeve (ie no sliders, no grazying!!!)
Instead use the lessons from the band to reflect on any contribution you might have made to not being so successful. What I mean from that, own up to your part in it and learn from it.
To me the sleeve has been amazing and I have had great success compared to quite poor success with the band.

If you had a lot of scar tissue from the band, they may have left more stomach to be safe which would cause a slower weight loss because you can eat more.

I start clears tomorrow, no bowel prep, surgery on Monday!
