@JAKE H
HAD MANY STALLS ALONG THE WAY KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK IT WILL PASS THROW THE DAMN scale OUT THE WINDOW I HAVE BOUGHT TWO SO FAR AS THEY PISS ME OFF BY NOW YOU CAN FEEL YOUR BODYS NEEDS AND KNOW WHEN YOU ARE MOVING IN EITHER DIRECTION AT LEAST I CAN YOUR JOURNEY IS SO POSITIVE KEEP LOOKING FORWARD DONT LOOK BACK CHEERS TO YOUR SUCCESS

yes i think youre right. i actually did this with my 3 week stall a few months ago. i think thats a good idea. i will check on monday again. thanks for reminding me!!!

Jake, would it maybe less stressful to weigh only once a week, especially when you are plateaued?

I only weigh on Mondays as well. I was weighing everyday and was getting so frustrated because the scale wasn't moving. I am in my first stall, have been for 3 weeks.

Alright guys, im currently in the middle of a stall. but im not panicking at all. its been a week and my weight has stayed the exact same every single morning. (im a daily weigher) My diet hasnt changed at all, and neither has my exercise, so i know this is just part of the process. This forum prepared me for this though, so i will keep track on here how my stall is going. its only been a week, could be a few more. Who knows. Hopefully it break soon! But ill keep at it regardless.

This is entirely based upon each individual. Try to focus less on how much you're losing, and more on living a healthier lifestyle. As you begin to lose weight, being more active becomes a lot easier.

yeah im preparing myself mentally. i know ive come a long way in a short time so i wont get discouraged. i am nervous but ill be just fine lol

Well Jake, shall we say- thanks to the Lantern Lady you both now See The Light? Best Wishes for a GOOD Relationship and a Beautiful Future AHEAD!💑

as you've read before, just stick to your plan. Stalls happen - and as long as you stick to your surgeon's plan, they eventually break. I've had them last anywhere from a week to a month.

Every surgeon is different. after 10 days my doctor told me there was no physical activity i could do that would damage what he did to my stomach, only being sore could hold me back. Well it didnt and i started crossfit on day 11 and havent stopped with zero issues. But thats just me. Everyone is different.

Before and after. Couple close coaching friends getting ready to do the same thing. Very fortunate that I had good insurance. Had to do the 6 month wait (visit and class once a month) but it was worth it. I was a walking heart attack waiting to happen on Friday nights in the fall. So much energy and adrenaline go into a Friday night.

The sleeve doesn’t fail. It’s mechanical.
The surgery is a tool, nothing more. If you still eat like crap, the sleeve will fail. If you snack all day long on calorie dense food, the sleeve will fail. If you drink caloric drinks, the sleeve will fail.

Edit: Just to clarify, if you're talking about "stretching" your sleeve will never stretch more than 10-15% from the size that it was surgically changed to. There is a lot of research to back this up. So if someone tells you they stretched their sleeve back out, and thats how they gained the weight, they're not being truthful with you in all likelihood.

great job ladies!!!
Hubz & I are 121 & 98 lost respectively since 7/9. He’s passed up his first goal and decided to keep going I’m about 40 from my goal. Just keeping on keeping on

lol!! i was waiting for someone to say that. yes the girl in the jeans is the one im seeing. hahaha
thank you though! i appreciate it

i have every single days since surgery. all is good, im losing like crazy and i make good choices. mary is my girl.

if im being honest its definitely true for me. I had the same girl since high school show interest in me, and i would never allow her in close to me because i didnt feel i was good enough for her. (thats my own ****). i got the surgery and i finally had the confidence to take her out because of the surgery. and now we are dating and im happier then ever. but i would have never before because i didnt feel enough, even tho she constantly tells me shes not with me because of the weight loss. so yeah i had this surgery to get healthy, but god damn it i wanted to look good too.

Good morning all! I'm 2 weeks and 2 days post-op and things seem to be going well. Much less pain daily and really only when I sneeze or cough does it hurt. Incisions are healing nicely.
At first I lost fast, like 4 pounds a day. After a few days of that it slowed to 2 pounds a day, then 1 and now it's 1 pound every other day. I was 299 this morning, same as yesterday. It's been 28 total since surgery day (327 that morning) but the slowing down worries me. Am I still losing like a I should? What weight can I realistically expect to be at in 6 months? My 10 year anniversary is in May and we want to go to New Zealand and Australia for that but I'd LOVE to be under 250 so I can do all the adventure stuff I used to not be able to do due to weight limits.
I get my liquids, at least 64 in just Water and another 16 with my Protein Shakes at least. Yesterday I was pushing 96 oz of total liquid. food is Protein Shake for lunch, then yogurt (2 g sugar total), then Unjury shake around lunch then some sort of soft Protein for dinner (egg, chili, ground meat, etc).
Additionally I couldn't eat a full egg last night. Maybe got 3/4 of it down before I felt 'full' and had some pain. Is that normal? Will it get better and will I be able to get my full 4 oz in eventually?
Don't get me wrong, I'm thrilled with what's happened so far - I'm just concerned for the future. I really thought I'd be shedding a pound a day at least and I'm concerned that I won't get to the full 4 oz I'm supposed to be eating.
