I don't know if I am just weird or not so I figured I would ask. Instead of losing consistently each week, my body does this awesome thing where I drop 7-10lbs in 3-4 days and then stall for 2 weeks. It's really frustrating. Guess in the long run losing is losing but I wish I could be one who loses 2-3lbs a week consistently. Anyone else this cyclical losing?

Looking great! Keep it up!!

First time for me as well! Count me in!!

Know this May sound silly but I can't wait to be 8 or 10 months out from surgery. I'm only 2 months out and I feel like time is dragging by, I just want to fast forward and see what my final product will be. I'm 2 month out of surgery today and down 42lbs which is great anD I am very pleased with but my motivation has really gotten stuck. How do you stay motivated? Guess I should start taking measurements or something so I can better see or measure the results.

My surgeon refused to do them as well. Wasn't impressed by the results and too many complications. He did state that e does revisions all the time too. I considered the lap band but the more research I did the more I liked the sleeve. I am two months out from the sleeve and down almost 50lbs. No complications either, but I know there was always the chance!

My last stall I used advice from here and the weight came off pretty quick. Two things, 100oz of Water and 100g of Protein. Keep working out! Best of luck!!

That's terrible! I hope you start feeling better soon!

I bought ALOT of everything.... I still have ALOT of everything two months out. Just sitting in my pantry. So just buy a little of a few things you can have. To me, the most importAnt thing to have the first week were sugar free Popsicles and lots of things to add to Water (flavors, lemons etc), sugar free Jello and some pudding.

Keep it up!

So I'll admit, I wasn't the best at logging my intake after surgery. It wasn't until I stalled where I started tracking. It's chocking how calories add up. If anyone is in the same boat or doesn't know- my fitness pal is a free ap that let's you VERY EASILY log all your food and Water.

Everyday I worry that I will fail at this too. So I don't know that it will ever go away but I do know that I have lost 40lbs in two months and I feel more in control than I ever have in this battle.

Can someone recommend a Calcium supplement that has Vitamin D and is not sweet?

I use to take the viactive chews but they are just too sweet now !!

My goal set for me was 2500-3000. But it had to do with my lung capacity I blew before surgery so I sure everyone is different

1. You changed a clothing size?

2. You noticed your weight loss?

3. Others noticed your weight loss?

4. That thing in your head clicked and you finally thought, yup, this time is different! I got this!

For me all of those were today at a 40 lb loss. Just thought it would be interesting to see if anyone else hit those milestones sooner or later.

56lbs is great! Congrats!!

Thanks, I just took out the batteries in the scale and had my husband hide them. This next 7 days is gonna drive me crazy not to know, but I guess knowing is driving me crazy too so what's the difference?! Lol

I don't have the answer as I am just one month out but I am interested in this same question!!

Thanks for all the responses. I had the sleeve done in early June. I am happy to know there are others out there with the same fears. I haven't really written down all my intake this far but I started to today to keep an eye on it. Maybe this will give me insight on where I am falling short!

I'm 6 weeks post op and have been in a stall for 3 of those. (Lost 18lbs post op) I know in my brain and by what I read that stalls are normal. But let's all be honest, when it happens to you, you can't help but feel extremely frustrated. It brings back so many feelings of failure with all the diets I have tried before. Obviously every other diet I have tried ended in failure and it's hard to believe this one won't as well. I'm just so frustrated.
