I know there is an October group here somewhere but I thought I would start this off by introducing ourselves!

I'm 25 years old and from British Columbia, Canada. My surgery is set for October 2. My pre op ensure shake diet starts September 2 but I have started a week early for a head start I am

A nurse by profession and engaged but no kids. With my history of PCOS kids will come after I drop the weight. Starting weight: 280lbs Current Weight: 275 and losing everyday!!

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']

Hi Wendy , I am from MS 38 yo have one 5yo son. I was also sleeved on the 8th I have lost 25lbs do far including 10lbs preop diet , my doc says 1st month is a transition and weight loss will pick up after that , keep up with me Wat is mfp? Hoping doc is rt

mfp is My Fitness Pal - a diet tracking app.

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

You guys are all doing wonderful just remember everything we have read on here from people over a year after surgery and how they went threw all their stalls !!! And now they r all skinni minnies! now just remeber are bodies just went threw this they need time to adjust we will get there !!! God bless !!

I was sleeved oct 15 lost 20 pounds within the first 2 weeks and have not lost anything since

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

My name is Katie. I had my surgery on 10/23/12 with Dr. Tallal Zeni. I live in Belleville Mi. I am 35. I am married...my husband had the sleeve done in May 2012 and has lost over 140 lbs. I was 206 on the day of surgery...I am only 5'1". I have pcos and am hoping to lose weight and finally be able to get pregnant. I also have an awesome 13 y/o step-son!

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 : )

glad to hear that you are doing better NightOwl. one day at a time.
