okay' date=' i am at a stall with my weight loss already for the past 3 days I have not lost anything is this normal? I am 3 weeks out today? anybody else experience this? I am getting frustrated please help me[/quote']

Have faith, beachlover, my stall hit me between weeks 2-3 as well. Just hang in there & continue to meet your Fluid, calorie, & Protein levels & the scale will start moving again soon. I tried to focus on the fact that I could feel the difference in my clothes & just in my general well-being so in spite of the scale's lack of cooperation, I KNEW something good was happening!!

I'm doing great. I haven't had any problems with eggs, but I use eggbeaters, not real eggs. I do find beef "heavy" and stick to chicken & fish mostly. Other than that, I'm feeling fantastic.

I was put on "regular" foods today, I am 4 weeks out and down 24 lbs. Only 2.8 more to go to be under 300. I will NEVER see another 3 in front of my weight!!!! I have also been able to tolerate eggs. I have noticed that it takes me a little more to be full than what I hear people talk about. Tonite I ate a turkey, cheese, "foldover" sandwich and could eat the whole half with a couple of crackers. Thats seems to be alot doesn't it? But all I had to eat today was a slimfast shake and 3 oz of tunafish. and I exercised 45 mins in the pool. so maybe my stomach was just extremely empty. H

Congrats on the loss!! Doesn't it feel Wonderful! I have not eaten any bread or crackers yet...I'm just having a time getting my protien and Water in. I find that if I eat seafood..shrimp, crawfish, especially crab I can eat a lot more than say chicken or beef...it just seems to go down easier for me...or it could just be the Cajun in me...lol I also read your post above about stalling in week three, I also stalled in week 3/4... But I just hung in there even though it was discouraging but now I'm feeling great and loosing each week! Keep up the food work!

I just seen this thread and like a couple others I'm being sleeved by Dr. Borland in New Iberia on July 25! Only 20 days left, I'm so excited!!

I actually live in Ga but my bestie lives in Abbeville and will be taking care of me and I'll b stayin a month so I don't have to drive home and come back right away for my 1mo. Check up. Besides that's too much driving right after surgery anyway.

Does anybody who saw Dr. Chu remember if she did a cardiac clearance? And, if so, was it done in her office?

Dr. Chu patient here. I had to have an EKG. Went to the hospital (about block from her office) and had it done. It was all very easy!!!

Hey, Shannon! How much time did you take off from work, if you don't mind me asking?

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
