sharkweek got a reaction from bogglesauce in November sleevers here
Yeah, mine has slowed a lot too. Still coming off, but very slowly and I have so far to go still that its kind of a bummer.
Still, looking at the bright side, even at my current weight I feel a hell of a lot better than I did before surgery.

Here’s my updated picks. Stalls sucks lol. I’m steady at 3 lbs a week, but have mini stalls.

Totally experiencing the same thing! Feels like the scale will barely budge. I know it'll keep moving and that everyone else who ever lost weight before us hit these hurdles too. I read a helpful article today that might help you too: https://www.obesitycoverage.com/4-ways-to-beat-a-weight-loss-stall-after-bariatric-surgery/

Sleeved 11/8/17... Everything was working out well the first month.. I was tired all the time which is to be expected. Then my StepFather passed away on 12/8/17. It's been rough. I didn't mess up my eating, but the stress and my weight loss messed up my balance. At first I thought it was I wasn't getting enough Water and Protein so I adjusted that accordingly and waited for my 3 month checkup to see if I needed to change anything. Dr. Le said to see an ear nose and throat doctor which I did yesterday. I have been scheduled for a VNG test next week to see what's going on with my Vestibular Integrity. Cross your fingers... Prayers.. Good Vibes... Good Juju's I'll take it all that the test reveal it's a quick and easy fix.
Also on a side note.. NSV.. I managed to be able to cross my legs again. I'm wearing a men's XL pajama pants. They were my Late StepFather's PJ's I miss him soo much.

sharkweek reacted to Creekimp13 in My husband is dead set against me having wls. Any advice on how to overcome that?
I cannot imagine my husband telling me "I won't even discuss" something I cared about.
If he ever tried that childish nonsense, the marriage would be over. And he would be responsible.
I don't want to be married to a controlling child, and I'm not sure why you want to be.

WoooHooooo Hey Sleeve Sister (and Brother @Palmoonio 78). I am also doing FANTASTIC. Its my 3 month Surgiversary and I am officially down 60 pounds today (249). I am happy with me slow loss because i know it is not coming back. I have had a few major "life moments" and I am so proud of myself because I did not turn to food to self soothe.

sharkweek reacted to Creekimp13 in WOW, you look great!!!!
I kinda hate it. I've been hearing it a lot lately...and it's not that I think I looked so awful before....I just kinda feel offput by people focusing on the superficiality and assuming that's why I did it. How I look had next to nothing to do with my decision....but no one says....Man, you've lost weight, how are you feeling? Looks like your health is improving...look at your energy! See...that kinda stuff would make me feel encouraged. The looks crapola? Meh...could live without it.

After a huge stall I got a sinus infection and bronchitis and lost 6 lbs! I am curious how everyone is doing on their journey. Please post before and after pics, it doesn't matter what stage you are in. My start weight before pre op 392, day of surgery 388 and today 249. My goal is under 200. Blessings!

Unless you need something on the go, doesn't make a lot of sense to me. They seem relatively expensive with just OK macros.
You'd be better off making some homemade Protein concoction. Mugcake protein fluff etc

Finally out of the 260s and into the 250s - weighed in at 259.8 on Saturday. I was stuck at 260.5 for three weeks! Stalls are so frustrating but I have to remember that they're a part of this experience and not to get so hung up on numbers, just how I feel.

My bariatric surgeon has a little shop in their office, and they sell these (albeit rebranded). I tried the chocolate ones. I found them very delicious, but not at all filling. Given that I can only eat 900 calories a day at the stage I'm at, it didn't make much sense for me to regularly eat a fifth of my daily calories on something that wasn't filling at all. I wound up giving them to my diabetic mom,who also absolutely loves them! If you have the willpower to make them a "sometimes" food, id recommend giving them a try.

Hell everyone,
how is everybody doing? I am doing okay I have lost 24 since the surgery. I can’t believe it has almost been two months. I am eating okay and trying to exercise. Saw my surgeon yesterday and he said I have to exercise more. I am having a hard time eating chewable vitamins they taste awful. Is everyone up and exercising? How is the weight loss going?
