I haven't been getting enough either. Water has been giving me heartburn. I don't know why, but it makes it hard to drink it. I have been drinking hot herb tea & Sobe Life water. It helps, but I know it's not enough.

I make sure to start the day with 16 ounces of hot herbal tea. Two cups before breakfast.

Still no weight loss. One positive thing though is that before the surgery I would have given up if I didn't see any progress. Now I can't give up!

I know brandy. It is so hard and frustrating. I felt embarrassed to tell my family I have stopped loosing. But please listen to me. It will start again. Im 5 weeks and stalled the last 2 weeks and just started loosing again. Lost 4# in 2 days. It's so hard to hang in there but it will start again. I promise. Hugs.

That's my problem. I lost 23lbs right away but since my post-op follow-up appointment I'm stuck!!! Like super stuck! NOTHING! as a matter of fact I gained a few ounces. I'm not getting all of my fluids. I'm just really feeling like I'm failing my sleeve.

Oh ladies!! Scary but we have made a huge leap of faith!! having surgery knowing this was for a new us and I just know it will get better!! I am the worlds biggest pessimist but I just keep telling myself it will be worth it! Having said all of that I have been having a pity party all day!!

At least we know it is not just us. I keep telling myself "It has to work... It has to work... It has to work!"

Well ladies, stay positive. Easier said than done but hey, we're in this together. I lost 14# pre-op and I'm 4 weeks out and have lost only 11#s. My PA told me to look at the overall pic, not these days or this week. After seeing it her way, I'm doing 5#s a week which is insane Don't give up, we have no choice! It will work out....we don't wanna be looking sick losing too fast, ya know! Hang in there

Wow! You have already come so far!! Congratulations on your weight loss so far. Everyone is different & our bodies behave differently, and yes, you might be in a stall, but you'll get out of it. You have already come so far...be proud of that. Keep working the program and more weight will come off. You got this!!

Girl!! You r doing great!!!! Most of will stall at some point, but we just gotta hang in there when we do.

I just called my doctor. They said I probably wasn't losing any weight because I need to get more calories in. At least 1000-1200 a day.
