I have been at a stall since October 27. This Wednesday will be 8 weeks since surgery. I'm starting to think I am going to fail the sleeve. I have been getting my Protein in, and my Water. I admit I have not walked lately because it has been cold. I'm beginning to think it is hopeless!!!

I was sleeved Oct 8th and just broke a stall this weekend. I was in a stall for about 2 weeks, and Sat morning I started losing again. Just keep doing what your doing. We hit stalls so our body can catch up. There was a post on here the other day with a link about fluids and glycogen stores being replenished in our muscles that made a lot of sense about the stalls.

Don't get discouraged. Just make it up in your mind that with the way we are eating, there is no way we wouldn't lose the weight. BTW, did you take any measurements? You lose inches even when you are not losing lbs.

Chin up! Don't sweat it!!! :rolleyes:

Amen to that! I was sleeved on Oct. 9th and I can definitely tell you that inches will come off when weight doesn't. Workout so your skin tightens up some and think BEAUTIFUL thoughts always. We are too blessed to be stressed!!! Stress makes you fat, we don't want that in our lives anymore so don't go there... Easier said than done but practice makes perfect!

Don't get discouraged, you hit a stall so your body can catch up with your weight loss. I promise you will start losing again. I am 4 1/2 months out and just hit 90 lbs lost yesterday! This sleeve thing is awesome! Keep up the good work!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
