    I have had lots of stalls since my August 1 surgery. I weigh every morning but other than that I just try to eat right and continue to follow my plan. It will be 2 months out in a couple of days. I am at 189 now with a 50 pond loss. I feel better than I have in many years. I got rid of my heavy clothes and are wearing a 35 waist jean and large shirts.

    The weight loss has slowed down but I am actually glad as I believe it's more healthy to lose it slower. I know it's a journey and not a race.

    I have been in my 2nd stall since surgery on August 1. Today is September 4 and I am at 200 pounds. Total loss is 39 pounds in 34 days. My stall is a loss of 2 pounds in 8 days. Now on solid foods getting my Protein first. Very happy with my progress. Not worried. I have 25 pounds to go to get to my final overall goal. My next smaller goal is to 190 by end of September. Then 180 by November 15. Final goal by December 15. Should be doable allowing for stalls.

    The surgery itself takes awhile for your body to get adjusted to all of it. I was not real sore surprisingly. Your on a total clear diet so load up your Isopure in the fridge. Once I could go to shakes got the Premium from costco or Sams. They are 30 grams each and taste good.

    The first week or two you will not have the energy you used to. You need to take it easy. I went back to my desk job after a week full time.

    I am now in the 5th week post op and I still drink two shakes a day to go along with 2 Protein meals and my multi Vitamins. I also do 30 minutes on the tread mill walking you should lose weight without it up to this point.

    Post your own story and I will follow yours. I am sure you will do well. I started with a real tight 38 pant and now a loose 36. Can't wait till the 34 comes.

    I got my sleeve on August 1 and am no expert but I know your going to do great. Don't cheat on your diet and listen to your doctor. Remember it's a journey not a quick fix. Your losses will happen but there will also be the stalls where you go periods and don't lose. Important to walk and walk now to keep from blood clots. I am in my start of 4th week after surgery. I do my walking on my in home treadmill.

    Keep me updated on your progress.

    August 17 and 17 days post op. I have lost 27 pounds since I first went to see the doctor and 23 pounds since surgery. Being a male I expected to lose more but it really feels good to weigh 212 pounds. Went to a family birthday party last night and I got lots of compliments about the new weight. I have already gone down to a size 36 pant. My gut is not quite gone but major reduced. Seems I gain there first and lose there first. I am a heart bypass patient so my doctor wants me down to 170 as my target weight. I got out my pictures of me in high school and looked at the old 170 me. It's hard to imagine being able to get there. I have moved to some cream of Soups and others with baby food consistency. My big goal of getting to 210 is right around the corner. After that the next one is the 200 mark.
