My Nut explained we lose in increments kind of like a stair, you lose some and then level off then lose more and level off for a bit. Our body keeps adjusting to the new weight loss. Also here is a link with some useful info.

http://www.dsfacts.com/weight-loss-stall-or-plateau.html I also keep my carbs under 20, I have hit a few stalls but I do keep losing inches.

Thank u, I have had very little info provided from my Nut or anyone at the Bariatric Center. Strange how our body adjusts itself! I've been keeping my carbs under 30, but I can do under 20. Thank you for the website , I will go there now :). Thanks again...

Well guys' date=' my one lb a day was WONDERFUL while it lasted, but now a week with no loss. <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':(' /> anybody got any more wt loss tricks??[/quote']

Just remember, it couldn't have lasted. That kind of loss just isn't sustainable. I seem to have entered this phase of about one week of plateau, followed by a few days of pound-a-day loss...maybe that's the new normal now? But a pound day for weeks and weeks on end is probably something only the massively obese with hundreds of pounds to lose experience.

That's true, but it sure was great, lol!! I thought sure I had hit gold by dropping my carbs so low, but I'll keep trudging along!!!

Sleeved 3/8/13 @ 240 pounds. Today down to 205; happy with my results so far. Finally working out and anxious to continue and reach my goal!

We were sleeved the same day, I was 256 and down to 226... Can't wait to get in the teens!!

We are def on our way! I don't weight myself often because of the stalls and I start obsessing over the scales so once a month is all for me.

I want to do that, but I guess I'm soooo afraid of regaining (like all the other times) that I've become addicted. If I can get to 220, I will promise myself to only weigh once per week and lessen from there....I have to take baby steps to break this morning habit. At least it's only in the mornings now!!

Three things I never thought I'd want in my house:

1. A big brown ugly recliner

2. A snuggie

3. A plastic shower chair

This is my life:

I sit in the recliner, covered with the snuggie with the remote in one hand and my iPhone in the other. I watch trash tv all day in my room with the door closed while taking double the pain meds. I smoke pot with my cousin about twice a day. I sip Premier Protein shakes. I chew ice. I worry about this pain and that pain and wether they are normal. I walk. My grandmother gave me a bell to ring. My husband rubs my hands and thighs till I fall asleep at night.

This is literally the best thing that has ever happened to me.

Don't hate ;-)

I envy you!!! lol

      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? 🤷‍♀️
