October Sleevers! Announce Yourselves

[brandy79 39]

Thanks. I was beginning to think I was doing something wrong.

[tylr3316 5]

Sleeved oct 8th. I am 42 yo and now have one child 2 yo. I am from decatur' date=' alabama. I am really surprised that there are not more people on here from alabama since we are second only to mississippi in highest number of obesity. I am stalled at 19# and frustrated. Don't know what to eat. Add me on mfp so I can get ideas. User name wendy8802.[/quote']

I am so feeling you pain and frustration. I am very similar in stats. I was sleeved on 10/11 lost 12 lbs postop the 1st week and nothing else since then. I do see inches but zero lbs. My BMI is current 40' date=' so I have eliminated that as a reason. If there really is no answer at least know you are not alone!![/quote']

Me too, was sleeved 10/11....only10#'s down :*/ frustrated

I was sleeved 10/11/12 so I'm 4 weeks out. Still doing a Protein Drink a day. String cheese, tuna, eggs and bison patty was real good. Taking it slow. Lost 40 pounds since 9/11/12 but only maybe 10 since surgery. I think they call it a stall. Best wishes to all!!

Tylr,

I have just about the same post op stats. Sleeved Oct 12 SW 205, CW 193. I am fitting into clothes that were a little snug but can't really "see" a significant difference. I was a lower bmi'er but started feeling like based on other people's success I will not see the weight loss I'd hoped for. Really hope this isn't the case:(

I hop its just a transition month also. Sticking with the program but really want more results. Mfp is wendy8802

Hi all, I was sleeved 29th Oct so I just make the group lol. Im in Australia, surgery in Sydney Dr Craig Taylor. I am 37 married with 2 boys. I was 142kgs ( sorry not good with pounds) lost 14kgs since starting 2 week Optifast. Ive had a few slip ups but learning to listen to my belly.

I guess I've also hit my first stall. SW 223, CW 199. sleeved 10/29 in the middle of hurricane Sandy. Thank God they didn't cancel me. But even though I'm 24lbs down, no loss at all in the past week. I don't think I'm getting enough of whatever I'm supposed to be getting but I'm eating almost the same as I was on the pre-op so I thought I'd still be losing. Started back to the gym a week ago. Doc said treadmill only for 8weeks. I know I'm not hitting my Protein mark or my fluids although some days I'm pretty close. This is so much harder than I thought it would be. I'm worried that I've already done something to ruin my sleeve which is why I've stopped losing. Even though I know it's a stall (3 week one at that). It's just hard to keep focused when i thought it would just fall off.

I am in a major stall too! I wonder if there is a way to kickstart our metabolism!

From what I gather...more liquids...and Protein. That seems to be the magic key to life and the world of thin.

Hello, I got sleeved on the17th. I'm doing better, but it's been rough for awhile. Had a lot of trouble with nausea, but I wasn't getting in enough Fluid. I became a little dehydrated, so I've been really pushing the fluids. Glad to see everyone on here : )
