I was glad to see this thread so I can see that I'm not alone! It's great to hear everyone's success stories, on the other threads and groups, but it's frustrating to hear someone complain about only loosing 47 in two months, when I'm 6 months out and am down about the same.I I'm not really upset about losing slow though, as long as I keep losing. I think the slow loss is why my hair isn't falling out (actually healthier than it's every been because I take uber good care of it these days in fear of the fall out), and my skin isn't sagging (yet at least).

Hi @missmango! I'm a patient of Dr. Sadek's also. Maybe I'll see you tonight!

I would ask your doctor what's typical for his/her patients. For me I never had issues with being over tired... I started working from home after the first week, then was back in the office the following week. Going off of my own heeling, I think two days a week of class and studies will be fine... But I would still an your doctor what's typical of his/hee patients.

Thanks same to you What doctor are you using if it's ok to know I'm seeing Dr. Sadek he's been doing bariatrics for a while and has the best credentials I have found in this area he's affiliated with Robert wood Johnson hospital which is a plus for me. But will definitely change if I find someone better lol I used Dr. Sadek also. I think he has a great overall program, along with the Bariatric coordinator and the Nutritionist he works with. I went to my first support group meeting last week, and it was really good to meet with other people in the same boat. Maybe I'll see you at the next one! All of the doctors and nurses I've worked with seem to LOVE him, so I'm happy with my choice. I personally am losing very slow, but I'm not too bother by that because I have two years of losing... I'm hoping the slow loss helps with having less skin sag.

I think we're on the same boat I'm from somerset NJ and also have amerihelth epo after years of reading about the sleeve finally decided to go for it ...went to seminar end if May and am starting the process now ... I'm 5'1 and 240 lbs Hi @@Lazy_Lizzy, I'm in Somerset also! Good luck!!

Jersey here! Welcome :-)

Anyone else losing really slow? I'm down about 15 lbs since the surgery, and I'm 8 week's out. I stalled for about 4 weeks, and I think it finally lifted, but I won't know until I weight myself Monday.

Keep us posted, and I hope they find what's going on and is nothing complicated to fix! That's great that they figured it out quickly and you're feeling better! So many people have a hard time getting things down, I bet that happens more often then they are realizing. Great to hear you're doing better!

You look great. Congrats!!

Keep us posted, and I hope they find what's going on and is nothing complicated to fix!

Thanks @sjohn. I met with my doctor today, and he said the same as yours... 1000-1200. This makes me really happy b/c I was struggling with 800-900 and getting closer to 1000 most days. So, I feel good that I am on track. Now hopefully... this stall will go away.

Hi everyone! Happy I found a group of NJ folks I was sleeved 3/21 and am down 26 lbs including pre-op but I've been stalled for over three weeks now, Oy! I have an appointment with my doctor to see if there's anything I can do to get the stall moving again. Also, I want to know how many calories I'm suppose to be having a day at this point. Everyone's doctor seems to have a different plan. I've heard some say 800 and some say 1200, so I'll see what my doc has in mind.

At first I was never hungry, but now I definitely get hunger.

Today is the first day I got all my liquid in. I'm just drinking aaaaall day and right now at 4:48 pm I'm at about 72 oz. I didn't think I'd ever get enough water, but I just had to try harder. Keep at it! And don't worry about this being for nothing. It will turn around soon enough and we'll all be posting pictures of our new bodies!

I feel your pain. The stall really sucks when you're seeing everyone lose so much weight, and you just can't weight for yours to start coming off too.
