Are STALLED, like myself!! That way we can keep each other company before we go bat $h!t crazy!!

LOL

I read ALL ABOUT these stalls before surgery and KNEW I could very well have it happen to me.... but yet I am still depressed and about to pull my hair out since the scale hasn't moved in almost 2 weeks!!!

Lost 30 lbs my first 2 weeks post-op - but now NOTHING the past week and 5 days!!

Anyone want to add????

VENT AWAY!!

Officially hit TWODERVILLE THIS AM!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Have lost 39.4 lbs since June 11th (day of surgery) - and 65.4 lbs total!!

Keep on trucking y'all - that stall kept me down but things have been moving for the past two weeks and it feels SO good!!

Any other updates from anyone??

WTG!!! I started at 365 in December...down 60 by surgery on June 29th. I hit the twoderville (LOVE THIS) 2 days ago.. I, too, was slave to the scale and quit after reading some of the posts, so Friday was a wonderful day for me - CONGRATS TO YOU and keep it up!

Hay all! So here's my question. I am 3 1/2 weeks out. On soft foods. chewing the crap out of my oatmeal or scrambled egg and after a few bites (very small ones), I feel great pressure in my diaphram area (painful the other day) and them my mouth waters but it is slimy...going ot the doctor for a check-up today and will mention it to him but thought I would come to you guys as many of you have passed my timeline as faar as recovery goes. Thanks everyone!

A few bites? Believe it or not you are likely over eating, or eating too fast. 3.5 weeks out I could only eat about 1/2 an eg before I was full. Are you waiting 2-3 minutes between bites?

There is still a lot of swelling right now, so the amount you can eat will be amazingly small.

I am 2months out today and 1 large egg is about my limit in one setting, maybe a slice of turkey bacon with it, maybe.

I learned something new! Thanks so much for replying so quickly!

Well, my celebration was short lived... I was in the 200's for that one day only... been back up to 300.x for the past two days. I've only lost approx 5 lbs since July 1st. Definitely feeling like a big fat FAILURE with this sleeve right now. FML.

You can do this Blodeej!! You have been my inspiraation to keep plugging along day after day. Don't let this discourage you. Keep working it and Twoville will return.

Aww thanks Sleeve Newbie- I was being rather dramatic and having a pity party. lol Reality is, the diff between the # I saw on sat and the #s I saw yesterday and today is a restroom break or so.. LOL And I am fully accountable to the fact I HAVE NOT been getting in my Protein. So this week I am pounding the protein hard and seeing where that gets me! Sorry to be a momentary downer!! LOL

I think 30 lbs is awesome! I'm 3 weeks out and still hovering at the same weight. Total of 10 lbs or so. I'm so discouraged. Why the heck doesn't this weight want to come off?

I feel ya. I'm 2 days shy of 4 weeks and have only lost 12 pounds. It's discouraging, but I'm trying to hang in there. It has to come off eventually, right?

I am soooo glad I started this thread - so I can come back and visit it at times like NOW, since I am stalled again!! LOL

Been at 300 now for a week.... but I am handling this stall MUCH better than the first....not wanting to go postal. Just realizing that I may not be losing as fast as I'd like, BUT, it's going to happen. And I am wearing clothes I haven't worn in over 3 years (NSV!)....

SO, I am hanging in there!! How is everyone's else progress going???

Stalls suck:(. I'm 51/2 weeks out and lost 30lbs as of this morn, very slow moving as I lost first 20lbs the first 2 weeks... I've come to realize I lose 1lb every 2-3 days... Slow but will be better for my flabby skin in the long run I guess.

I'm a month out as of today and I know I should be thrilled with 20 pounds in that time but 13 of it came in the first week. When I was dieting on my own for four months pre-op I was losing 15-17 a month so I guess I expected more quicker. I know I can only blame myself for not going to the gym as often as I need to and not counting my Protein but when I look at what and how much I eat it's hard to believe I'm not losing weight! Went to the DR on Monday and the NUT said that she's noticed the patients who lose a lot before surgery (65 lbs in 4 1/2 months for me) tend to stall or plateau sooner... not that helpful! lol I just want to get my energy back so I can get back in the gym like I was before!

Good to know I'm not the only one who's a little discouraged! However, I know a negative attitude is only going to hurt me... and we obviously have everyone's support here! Go June sleevers!

Blondeej....how's it going?

I lost pretty fast the first week, but since has been slow. Next week will be two months from surgery and I am down around 35 lbs. Not as fast as many of you, but it is what it is. It is coming off and that is what matters.

Blondeej....how's it going?

HEY girl! I lost 2.4 lbs last week. Down to 298 now. So over 7 weeks I've averaged 5.8 lbs lost/week - so I CANNOT complain! These stalls in there just mess with your head bad!

How are you doing? scale still moving?

Also, to anyone that cares, my ytube channel is blondeej82 - been doing vlog updates on there! check it out if you'd like!

New hope - great attitude to have! I struggle daily to remind myself NOT to compare my journey to anyone elses. Easier said than done - but a loss is a loss - great job!
