    I was sleeved May 10. Lost 15 pounds on the pre-op diet and 21 more since. Feeling great and no complications at all. Did a 7 mile bike ride this morning and then ate 2 scrambled eggs for breakfast

Glad you found us CantWait2Lose77. Wow! You are doing fabulous!

Think I am hitting the dreaded 3 week stall. Any early May sleevers gone through it yet? How long does it last on average? I am going to do some measurements soon and see if I am at least losing inches, trying to stay positive and not let it get to my head. :)

I am one month out and I stalled at 3 weeks ~ to my surprise m period came on this week so I think I was retaining water. I gained a pound but it dropped. I know stalls are going to happen so I'm not stressed, just enjoying the journey and the inches that are falling off!!

Sleeved May 7th and feel like a new person already..it is exciting to know that more is going to come off!!

Pre-op:258 lbs

Day of surgery: 247.9 lbs

Current: 229. Lbs

Those 29lbs have been kicked to the curb!!

CONGRATULATIONS peace1127!

Hello fellow May sleevers,

I was sleeved on May 24. I also had my gallbladder removed and a hiatal hernia repaired. I lost 23 lb pre-op. But I've gotten on the scale a few times, and I'm at a stall. My doctor says its because of my swollen abdomen. I feel healthier however. People say that I look smaller. I'm just anticipating on watching the scale go down. I'm still on my liquid diet. Just want the swelling to subside.

I do it every time I weigh~

Surgery 5/15*250lbs

Today 6/3*223.2

I can't believe this is working! I mean I CAN, but oh my gosh!

Had my surgery may 30 I feel wonderful no pain just feel full but im moving around and going to the gym . feeling great :) no weightloss yet but soon come :)

I was sleeved on May 14 and I have been at a stall for 2 weeks!! I have lost 14 lbs but nothing in the last 2 weeks. It is getting to me very badly. Can someone here help me understand what is happening and what I can do about it?

Well, all I can say is it's completely normal. If you search "stall" you will likely be overwhelmed with reading material for at least a week. I even read one of the ladies stalled for 4months.

OTRsleever is correct, stalls are normal. Are you on a post-op diet?

Sleeved on May 16, down 17 pounds...feels like it should be more, considering how little I eat, but I'm still happy. :-)

Sleeved on May 28th and I am loving it 8 days in. Have lost a bit over 30lbs (16kilos) since I started the pre op diet on May 14th. A bit overwhelmed with it all actually! Very please to have found this website as I think my family are getting bored with me talking about it but it is dominating my thoughts most of the day!
