I think I'm at the 3 week stall everybody talks about. I started this journey at 192.8 (BMI of almost 32), so I suspected I would be a slow loser but was really hoping that wouldn't be the case. I was really hoping to be down 30 pounds in a month. I have some catching up to do if that is gonna happen. So sad.

Relax girlfriend! I was sleeved two days before you and starting weight quite a bit more (247) and right in line with your loss. I think we are doing great! Just let the sleeve do the work, stick to the plan and it will keep coming off. I have had some stall time too, 5 days at one weight, lost a pound and on two days at the next weight... If I was weighing every two weeks I'm sure I would never notice I was in a stall ... I have been measuring now and then too, and have continued to lose inches... have you done this? I have decided to celebrate the three week stall! It just shows we are on the same path as all these nice folks that are losing a bunch of weight with the sleeve.

PS my starting weight was two days before surgery, when I started a liquid diet for two days, so really I probably lost about the same as you...

I really like this comment, just wanted to point it out. Staying positive is an absolute MUST in this process - I cannot say this enough!!

Sometimes you just have to make lemonade!

I've spent too much of my life finding something to be unsatisfied with, I really try to transform things to enhance my pleasure now... it works!

Yes, I agree it will eventually come off and I'm so thankfulf for that. I'm torn about how often to weigh. It has been my experience in the past that If I avoid the scale then I don't know when I'm getting out of line and may need to make changes in my diet due to things I might be overlooking. However, if you weigh too much that is definitely not good either. I think I just have too much down time right now to think about it! I took off alot from work because I wanted to make sure I was not sick and had the eating down pat and not tired before I started back to my normal routine. However, I think staying busy would have helped more. I can't wait til March 14, I will be working more and in school at the same time and I think it will go alot faster then and not consumed my thoughts. LOL

I'm at the dreaded 3 week stall, too.

Tntransplant06....I feel ya! I will pray it passes quickly for the both of us!

ITA with the staying positive!!!! I hit that stall BIG TIME (8 days) and was getting really discouraged. Then my clothes were huge, and all of the sudden the scale started moving again, and it hasn't stalled since!!!

Hang in there, it is all worth it!

Thank you, SFOTraveler! That's encouraging to know!

Btw, Happy Birthday SFOTraveler!
