I was sleeves on 6/25. So far I've lost 27 lbs. And of course I'm happy because if I wasn't sleeved I would've never been able to lose that in 3 weeks, but in this last week I've only lost 2 lbs, I'm curious how the other 6-25 Sleevers are doing and did you slow down on the 3rd week?

I was sleeved 6/29 and have lost almost 20 lbs. My surgeon told me before surgery that my loss would be slower due to lower bmi. I get a little frustrated but I would whether be slowly going down instead of stuck or up. Good luck!

I was sleeved 6/25 as well. I am on my 3 week stall right now...I went down to 260 (from 303) and today was back at 262..Oh well! My clothes are looser so I know I am losing inches. Look at my profile picture to show you where I am since 6/4. I was surprised by the difference. Also there is a topic here " June Sleevers! Hows It Going?" If you want to see more June sleevers! I am happy and just going to wait the stall out. One thing I noticed was bad breath..I have to carry something with me so I won't gross people out! Glad you are doing good!

I was sleeved on the same day actually and I've also lost about 27lbs but I've been stalled for the last 5 days at the same weight. Does anyone know how long a stall typically lasts?

I am trying to just focus on the fact that I've been following all the instructions and slow changes are probably healthier for your body... But it's still sad to see no change when your working at it and doing all the right things...

No, haven't had pain since the 2nd week. You may wanna check with your surgeon to make sure that's ok. Everybody heals differently so it may be totally normal. Hope your pain subsides soon!

I was sleeved as well on 6/25. I had a really slow 3rd week only 2 lbs for a total of 24lbs. I'm walking an hour a day now to try and avoid a stall, I'm really hoping to hit 'ONEderland' by the end of the summer (Only 23 more pounds!) Has anyone read anything on how to avoid or break stalls?

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      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.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        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.
