Ok everyone... I was sleeved on Nov 12th, and weighed 240.

My first week I lost 10 pds and my second another 10... Which was Awesome!!!

But since then "0" WTFudge is going on! :-(

This is my sample menu:

B: 1 EGG OR 5OZ Protein shake

L: 4 SHRIMP OR 2OZ TUNA

D: 2OZ SALMON OR 1/4 CRAB meat

SNACK: cheese STICK OR 5OZ Protein Shake

I'm tracking my calories and I am under 300 - 350 max.

What is wrong???

Anyone else struggling???

Is this normal???

I love sushi too!!! Can't wait to be able to eat it' date=' just haven't ventured out yet. I am able to eat way more than when I first started. I just make sure I eat protein first[/quote']

Ive had it now .... but I just eat everything minus the rice

That's odd I don't remember being told to avoid rice. I've had rice with no problems but try to avoid it until I lose the rest of my weight because of the carbs/calories. I haven't had a steak yet, but have eaten meat with no problem as long as it's tender. I just can't seem to hold much. Strange how I can eat a lot of somethings but only a small amount of others.

Hello November skeevers! I lost Seventy (70) since Dec 10th. I knew it would be rough going but ..... really nothing tastes as good as thinner feels. I am still a burly bear I still have a few pounds to take off, but it dropping at a steady pace. THE GOOD: I am wear now wearing the smallest pair of jeans I had stored in the closet from six years ago. My testosterone has surged, ( no further comment needed) and I feel like I am Twenty again. THE BAD: I still hurt, slime on occasion and still can't get all the protien I need to eat in . THE UGLY : my hair started to fall out, so I am now sporting a shaved head. I scare me in the mirror these days.

Hi fellow sleevers!

Checking in again! I have lost 69lbs as of this morning. I was sleeved 11/13. My HW was 248.8 (start of pre-op)- CW is 179. I've gone from wearing a TIGHT 20 to a loose non stretchy 12. Tops I've gone from XXL to a Medium! Things have gone well- no real issues eating anything and I'm happy with my results.

Before

This morning- pardon the dirty counter lol

I was sleeved Nov 12. Down 75 lbs. Still having problems getting all my calcium in daily. But doing good overall.

I had my 3 month f/u yesterday (it has been 4 months since surgery 11/1). I've only lost 38 so I am one of the slow losers. I have been in a fluctuating stall for a few weeks now. My dr said I can do a 2 day liquid diet to kick start my weightloss again. He said it will shock my body and get me going. He also said that I must walk everyday. It doesn't matter how fast' date=' just to do a mile everyday. He said that is the key to keep the weightloss going. Overall he said I'm doing great.

Sw 220

Today 183

From size 18 to 12/14

BMI from 43 to 35 in 4 months

I'm happy with my results and my increased energy. And I am loving to shop now.

When I went for my 3 month, I had lost

45 lbs. I was pretty bummed but my NP said I was doing great, above average. She said because I started at a lower weight, I wouldnt loose as fast as say someone who was heavier than me. Also, she told me I wasn't having enough calories... I was on a two week stall. I was exercising intense, 5 days a week for an hour and consuming 550 calories. I upped my calories and water, and added another protein shake every day. My stall passed and I am 4 months out and down 55 lbs. Keep up the great work, the stalls will come and go!

Hello all checking in...surgery was Nov. 7th I have lost 94 lbs. Good: feel free. Dropped a few clothing sizes, able to do so many things physically w/o pain.....loving life! Bad: Hit my first stall...been there a few weeks & my hair is thinning rapid. Still even with the bad it was the best decision ever.... My life has changed dramatically!

Haven't updated in a while. I had surgery on 11/20, my weight day of surgery was 315. Today I weighed in at 227. I'm sitting at 88lbs lost since surgery. Pretty stoked. I walk, want to start couch to 5k soon, do yoga and have been getting my butt kicked at Crossfit for a few weeks now. Unfortunately I have to take a short break from all that...today I am having my gallbladder out. It's been giving me problems for over a month now. So taking it out should relieve me of the pain, nausea and vomiting.

But great losses everyone! Keep up the great work!!!!!

Surgery 11/21, 62 lbs lost. My scale hasn't budged in almost 3 weeks and im getting frustrated. Anyone else experience a stall yet??

My surgery date is Nov. 14th. I've lost total 82lbs. I keep running into stalls. Just recently came off dairy and breads. ( at least for a while) but that helped my stall. I still struggle getting all my water in.

Surgery 11/21' date=' 62 lbs lost. My scale hasn't budged in almost 3 weeks and im getting frustrated. Anyone else experience a stall yet??[/quote']

My surgery was 11/8 and this last month I've hit a stall, I think I've lost 1 or 2 lbs. Hopefully the scale will start moving again I did notice clothes fitting different ( looser) so my body is still doing its thing

How is everyone doing now? I am still trying to figure out what to eat. Exercising more.

I weighed in at 151 yesterday from 212 in november

Surgery 11/13 I started at 248 I'm now at 176. I feel great and it's amazing what I can do now that I know I wouldn't have been able to 5 months ago! I've gone from a tight size 20 and 1x top to a size 12 and a medium top.

Hey November sleevers!

Great work& congrats!!!

HW: 245lbs, 5'4"

Sleeved 11/16: wt 225lbs

CW: 164lbs. Total loss of ~80 lbs. I feel great. My mom had my jeans I wore in high school on a closet 13 years ago& I can fit a size 12, down from a 24. Had social problems with friends becoming catty towards me. It's odd how much nicer strangers are to me though. I'm really humbled by how the sleeve has helped me. It's the best thing I've done for myself. I aim for 800calories 60+ grams protein& under 50 carbs per day.i can exercise again& sprint with my dog. I want to lose at least 30 lbs more. Thank to everyone on VST who has inspired me& kept me on track.
