Nov Sleevers... What's Your Status?

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 was sleeved November 5th. I'm down 39 pounds, I think working out everyday has helped a lot with the weight falling off. I'm feeling great :)

I was sleeved on November 13th and i've lost a total of 22 pounds. Today makes the end of week 4 for me. i think i'm at a stall because that's how much i weighed in at 2 weeks ago at my second dr's visit. What i notice is i'm losing inches because my clothes are fitting a lot looser. I'm just going to stay focused and stay off the scale. I've been back in the gym since the 6th day after my surgery and i'm able to do the elipitical for 30mins at a resistance of 8 and incline of 10 3-5 days a week. I thank god i had no complications and have never thrown up or had the urge too. Sometimes i question if my surgery was actually done because it went so well, but reality kicks in when after taking 2-3 bites of something i'm sooooo full, lol.

Just make sure your getting in your Protein and liquids you will see a change shortly. I am at the end of my 5th week and I have had two stalls so far. I just put my scale up on the shelf and kept it moving, I will not let those numbers define me. I'll take the inches anytime!

So my 3rd week stall lasted 8days back to losing weight again!!!

I'm still in a stall (9 days). And I got my period yesterday 9 days early. And it's brutal. I'm hoping to start losing again.

Increase your Protein and fluids. I finally moved the scale. My nut said that around this time the body goes into hibernation. Your weight loss slows you feel tired and your body is holding everything waiting for you to go back to old eating. You can trick it by adding the protein and Water and upping exercise. It will start soon hang in there.

I'm at a stall myself, I am hoping by increasing my workout it starts me back to loosing. I feel great but wow these stalls are hard. I put my scale up and took it back down( :( ) I whish I had left it at the top of my closet

In the waiting room wait

How long do the stalls last? I'm two weeks in. Not loosing inches either. My surgery was November 14th

It all depends on your body...everyone is different.

Just be patient and give it a little more time. Make sure your getting your fluids in, especially Water. That's so important. My 4th week I was stalking, I called my NUT, showed her a sample of my diet. She said I wasn't eating or drinking enough. My diet looked alot like yours. So I added 1 more small meal and 12 more oz's of water. Last week I dropped 5lbs. Maybe something to think about? Either way you will lose weight, I promise. Good luck :-)

November 28 - down 32 pounds with two week pre op. amazing that its possible to lose that weight in less than a month!

Hi all

I was sleeved nov 18, down 21 pounds I am wondering is it ok to wear a guirdel to support the big belly from hanging down or is to too early yet

I was 326 when I started pre-op diet. I weighed 305 on surgery day ( 11/28 ). I weighed in today at 282. I've lost 23 pounds since surgery and a total of 44 pounds since I started this journey. Congrats to everyone. We will all be big losers soon. :)
