NewWoman18!!

You look great! This really gives me hope!!

You look amazing!!! I'm trying my best to get where you are!!

I’m 5’3 my starting weight was 342 SW 332 CW 318. I was sleeved on 3/13. According to the BMI chart I supposed to weight 135 - 140 for my height.

I was sleeved on 3/13 and I am only down 19 pounds but a total of 24 since liquid diet. I hit a stall at 3 weeks. I have started loosing weight again and I am loosing a pound a day now.

Today I am exactly 4 weeks out. I was sleeved 3/12. I am down 22lbs! I can't believe it. I'm more excited about how I feel though. My energy is crazy, I'm so much happier, and the feeling of being full is amazing. It is something I have truly never experienced.
I can't wait to see what else this life change will bring me.

As everyone else said— stalls suck and happen. I near lost my mind during mine [emoji51]

Hang in there— drink TONS of Water and walk . It comes off and kicks in- promise

I was told to be patient because a stall is normal so I assume your situation is normal. Keep up the good fight!

I was sleeved 3/12. And dropped 23lbs fast then have stalled now for about 10 days. I feel your pain

Embrace the stall.

You are having the infamous 3 week stall. There is nothing you can do to change it. LOL. You just have to persevere and muscle through it. It's so hard. I whined the whole way through mine! Mine lasted 6 days. I went up and down the same 1-2lbs and it was crushing.
Then I started losing again.
The End.

((hugs))

Congrats... Sleeved 3/19/18. Am in the puree stage. Finally!!! Surgery day 264, today 233.

It sucks and I'm sorry.
People will give you a lot of advice on diet and exercise.....and they're both important...but chances are very good that even when you're doing everything by the book...you'll hit stalls like this. Our bodies lose weight rapidly and they put on the brakes. It sucks.
The good news is that with patience and consistency...you will lose the weight. Just need to dig in, keep your nose down, and work your program. I know it's discouraging and irritating. It gets better!

If you are doing the right things the weight loss will continue. You can always help it along a bit with a good exercise routine (even if that's just walking), but the reality is if you are operating at a caloric deficit the pounds are going to come off.

Sleeved on March 13, 2018
