No weight lost last week but i seem to be losing again this week. Lost 2 lbs so far.

Such a big difference! So very proud of you! This is a lot of work and I completely disagree with anyone who says this is "the easy way out"! Makes me want to take an updated pic to compare to my pre-surgery ones already! I'm 4 weeks post op and 27lbs down. I'm shooting for another 9 lbs. before my next appt. which will be my 6 week post op appt.

Thank you so much! It's def not easy!!!! I feel like I should have lost more but everyone loses at diff speeds I guess. I'm 38 down since my preop diet. I was 278 on day 1 and 265 the morn of surgery and I'm 240 today. So... Idk. I did encounter a 3 week stall right after surgery tho.

@Heather~ that's great! If I remember correctly didn't you have a stall? I am almost 4 wks out and haven't lost anything in a week. I'm not drinking much Water so I'm going to try to drink what I should today. When did you stall and for how long? It's so frustrating!

I had a 3 week stall. I lost 8 lbs last week and nothing this week.

My 38 lb loss so far in 8 weeks!

5 weeks out yesterday and feel tired almost all the time

How much have u lost?

I was 6 weeks Monday. So what do we do to get more energy?

Does anyone else have probs still with very little energy? I have bursts of energy and then it drains quick and I just feel exhausted and want to sleep.< /p>

I've found if you mix ur Protein Powder with milk and coffee it's really good, you get ur coffee, and your protein!

Yay Heather!!

: )

Thank God this stall is over. I'm down 3 lbs since Sunday! Hopefully I'll lose 15-20 before the next stall!

3 months out & nervous! I lost 5 pounds first monthb1/2 & nothing for a month 1/2. I have a follow-up with surgeon, whom I haven't seen in 2 months and I am embarrassed about the stall. I have been following the program, no cheating and feel good, but is the doctor going to think I'm failing? The inches are coming off, but a month & 1/2 stall seems longer than most. Does his surgery just suddenly stop working so soon.

That's been my fear! I'm terrified that my body is done. It sux!

I had my surgery feb 10 this year. I JUST came out of a 3 week stall! The scale did not move for 3 whole weeks. Then yesterday I had lost a lb and then today I had lost another lb. I didn't do anything diff. I was freaking out! My nutritionist said our bodies have defense mechanisms that cause us to hold onto stuff cuz it thinks its starving. I just started to work out do I'm hoping that will move my scale more. I've now lost 32 lbs since the start of my pre op diet. I started at 278 and now I'm 246. My goal weight is between 150 and 165. So I now have less than 100 lbs to lose!

Down another lb! Yay!!!!!! 2 lbs since Saturday! I'm very excited! That 3 week stall was horrible!

When I got home from the hospital the whole first week it showed me having gained 7 lbs. but then I lost 17 lbs from my pre surgery weight. And then I had a 3 week stall.

The scale finally moved! Only 1 lb but ill take it!

OMG I went to the movies tonight and was so surprised! I was able to eat about one cup of popcorn well chewed of course! When I read your post i laughed

How far post op are u?

Still... No scale movement. And I'm even going to the gym. Sunday will be 3 weeks.

I've found that popcorn is so easy to eat!

Since surgery. I had hit a stall since last Monday but it picked up again yesterday. Don't worry you'll pick up again!!

I'm jealous! : )

I'm doing good!!! Down 29.5 today!! How bout you? I don't have a recent pic yet but I'll take one later on!

That much since surgery? Or pre op? I still haven't lost anything in about 2 weeks. It sux.

I chose the sleeve mainly because I didn't want to deal with the upkeep of the band.

So how are u doing? Any pics to share?

I chose gadtric sleeve because there's not a rejection rate and with lap band there is. Plus I k ow several ppl who have had nothing but trouble with their band. So for me the sleeve was an obvious better option.

Just keep keeping' on. It may go many days like this, but then, it'll turn around. I stopped weighing myself everyday in the middle of my stall. It was just so upsetting and discouraging. But, I'm losing again now and I changed ABSOLUTELY nothing between then and now. It was just a temporary little plateau. You can do this and it WILL happen

How long post op are u?

Still haven't lost anything... I wanna cry.

My weight has been fluctuating by a pound the past couple days too. I'm sure it'll even itself out.

So ur loss has slowed down too?
