Surgery weight 256 9/22/12

Today 244

In a stall for this entire week. hoping to break it next week.

How is everyone else doing?

Everyone is doing great! A loss is better than a gain don't be do hard on yourselves. Post surgery 5 pound was easy to gain. let's be optimistic

Absolutely, I would have never been able to lose 49lbs in four months otherwise. It's just a little discouraging when you've lost so much and now it starts to slow down, I was hoping it would slow down after I was below 200-lol, only 9 more to get out of here!!! lol

I'm currently at a stahl... Day of my surgery 9/14 I was 258 I am now 209. I'm losing almost a pound a week and feeling a little discouraged the only thing left for me to do is focus more on exercising...hopefully that'll work. Good luck everyone!!

Dont get discouraged! I was sleeved on 9/19 and I hit stalls all the time. I went 3 weeks once before without a loss and other times I'm just like you where I would lose only a pound a week. You are still losing so that is a positive

I will add the same advise!!!! I was done on dep 18.. Down 50 lbs as of today. I have hit a few stalls and way too frequent.. I have only dropped eight lbs in 8 weeks!!! I watch calories and have worked out a TON in past 2 months. My doc said i am crazy and that most people don't lose 50% of excess wight until 6 months.. Also, we hit our set point and , to be honest, i feel great at 210 lbs today, even though I was hoping for 190

cece i am right htere with you

Sleeved 9/17 at 230 - started at 240. I am now 185 so total loss of 55 and I am thrilled. I am thinking if I could stop and maintain here I would so happy!!

Sept 20th 70lbs lost.started at 17st 12lbs.now im 12st 12lbs. 5stone in nearly 4 months amazing.would never have done it without th sleeve.but its getting harder now.i find i can eat more .i want to loose another 3 and 1/2 stone .fingers crossed hey.

Thanks everyone for your words of encouragement!!!

Cece611, I was sleeved the exact same day as you on 9/14 and I am also in a stall, ugh! We just have to hang in there and let our bodies catch up and then it will keep dropping! I hit right at 50 and then nothing now for almost 2 weeks! Evidently, this is completely normal and we just have to be patient

Yeah. Tiny tiny part of me is frustrated that the addictive days of losing a pound a day are gone :-(. THEN I remember that I/we am/are down FIFTY FRIGGIN POUNDS in less than 4 months LOL. I wake up sometimes that it was all a dream. So I put it into perspective :-). Similarly, if I recall the past few January/new years, I do believe I wouldn't go NEAR a scale for fear of the obvious bad news. Soooo WE ROCK!!!

Thanks happily sleeved and neilsleeved it's nice to know I'm not alone!!! We just have to keep on going even if its at this slow of a pace, like others said before, it's better than gaining!!

_{I was in a recent stall for two weeks but the scale is moving again. Surgery date was 9/19/12 and to date have lost 66 lbs. From 239 to173. It's so strange but I have only lost one pants size down from size 18 to a very loose size 16 but the 14s still are too tight.}

_{Next dr appt is 4/11/13 and he wants me at 150 by that time (not yet goal weight though).}

_{Do you find the weight loss slower the closer you are approaching goal?}

When you reach your goal weight, do you have any vision of if or how your life will change then?
