I am 8 weeks today and down 20 lbs... Was down 23 lbs and gained 3 lbs back. Plus 15 of those lbs were in the first 3 weeks prior to my first stall. I make my Water and Protein goals 90% of the time. I am trying my best to not to get discouraged. Will the weight eventually move faster or will it always be this slow??

Sometimes its easier to figure your percentage lost. How much do you need to lose to meet goal and what percentage of that have you lost. Everyone is different depending on how much weight they need to lose to meet goal.

Hi Ladies....i'm so glad I found y'all.....I'm Sharon and had my surgery Aug 2. I am so frustrated and discouraged and figured the first month would at least be a boost. I lost 12 pounds in the first 2 weeks and absolutely nothing for the last 9 days. I am having 60 g Protein and averaging 5-600 calories, low fat and practically no sugar. I haven't begun to exercise yet, so I imagine that's to blame...still on full liquids to puree and am wondering what does it tale for my body to drop some of this.....started at 275 and now 263....any suggestions would be helpful....thanks....

Hi Sharon! Not to worry, you're having the three week stall... Almost everyone goes thru it.

You can search *three week stall* and finds loads of people worried just like you.

I stalled for weeks but I measured myself and I still lost inches just not weight.

Don't worry, your doing fine. Just keep doing the correct things and you will get smaller :)

(raises hand) Yep, that's me, a slow loser. I literally weighed the same, to the very ounce, for 6 days! I do feel changes in my size and clothes and will have to be happy with that.

Don't feel bad, I'm 4 weeks out and have been the same weight for 3 weeks... I'm eating 1000-1200 calories daily but work out for 1 hour plus weight train too. Surgery date 8/7 179pounds, went down to 165 in 1 1/2 weeks and have been the same! :( I have lost inches but not weight.

I just feel everyone is different and should be very much aware how the human body work....the regimen for the gastric sleeve is designed for each patient to follow day by day and week by week but what I have came to realize is dat its ok to change the plan every two weeks bcuz the body become immune very fast if we are eating the same exact foods everyday...so when you find yourself at a stall increase are decrease your food intake...Also weighing yourself everyday is not good...

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
