I am definitely in the same boat--sleeved on May 24th and since then have lost only 10 pounds. I have been in a stall for the last 2 weeks. Everyone says this is normal and that I should continue to stick with it. Let's all promise each other we will and report back when this blasted stall passes!!!

Help! 2 days post, feeling regret,pain don't no what to do with myself!

Try searching "3 week stall" on here... literally hundreds of posts about the same thing you're going through. It's not only common, but I think maybe even necessary for a lot of people, to give the body time to catch up to the changes. The bad news seems to be that the dreaded 3 week stall can last several days or even weeks. Skipping daily weigh ins and reading about others going through the same thing seems to be the best advice I found. Just keep following your plan and stay positive...it will pass. Good luck!

This is perfectly normal, you will encounter many stalls during your journey, but do not get discouraged. Of course I say that after I kicked my scale across the bathroom this morning. Seriously though, don't let the frustration get you down.

Breathe deep. Your body is healing. It's going to take 6-8 weeks for your body to heal from the surgery. You had IV fluids and it can take at least a week for those to work their way out of your system. It's so east to step on that scale every day, but take a day off. Follow your plan. If you are on Clear Liquids - do it. If it's full liquids, do it. You need to take some deep breaths.
We work ourselves up into a frenzy going into surgery and sometimes I think we expect too much. You will lose the weight. Just not all in the first month.
In my first week I went from 246 to 238. 8 Pounds. I'm 9 months out an 93.9 pounds down at this point. Breathe deep. Follow your plan. Don't try to rush things. It will come off.

I know exactly how you feel, having doubts now that this was worth it. Thought I'd be feeling better but instead just feel fat and sick with this awful taste in my mouth from all this fake fruit flavored medicine and "food". My husband has been so supportive and I felt so prepared that Im trying not to fall apart. It's not a food thing either, not craving anything, just feel so awful between the headache and the pain. We have to believe that this is going to work, it works for everyone else it will work for us, you will lose that 60 pounds over the next 6 months and so will I. Those are reasonable realistic goals, we just have to turn this corner.

I like the Dannon Light & Fit. It's 80 calories and 12g Protein.

In all seriousness, just did mine and pretty much drank broth and tea. And I definitely went to bed early to hide from food!
