  1. I was sleeved on Wednesday 2/20 and felt great by Monday, I have a desk job and returned back to work on Tuesday 2/26. I am now 6 weeks out and feel amazing, this is definitely the best thing that I have ever done for myself, I did have the dreaded 3 week stall that last 10 days, but I am now loosing again and eating much more 'normal' foods. Hoping that you continue feeling great!!
  2. Hmmm i never thought of the sleep aspect of this thank you!!!
  3. I was sleeved on 2/20 I was doing really well with the weight loss until about 17 days out, then bam.. the scale stopped and it really sadden me, I am following my doctors meal plan, getting my water and protein in. I know everyone talks about the stalls but i was hoping that it wouldn't happen. This morning I got on the scale 10 days after the stall began and I am down 1.5# hopefully this is the start of that dreaded scale to start moving regularly again.... Yes I know be patient and continue doing what I am doing but lets just say I am one happy camper today!!
