Yes...just only losing a pound every once in a blue moon is frustrating. Feels like I have lost all I will lose and still have at least 40 more to go. Not even 1/2 way.

I feel the same way. sleeved 1/21 and down around 45 pounds. current weight 187. I've been playing with the same 2 pounds for weeks. can eat most anything. I average around 800 calories. I try to get up to around 1000-1100 at least once a week. I still need to lose at least 40 more.

I was sleeved 1/29 and have lost exactly 65 lbs. I've been on a stall for like a month. I feel like I'm not going to loose more weight and I'm only 5 months out. How long can stalls last? I'm exercising 4 times a week. This is very frustrating!

Jamie thank you I'm going to try that for 2 days. I feel like I'm not going to loose anymore. I'm the same size but people tell me I'm loosing inches because I look skinner. I hope I start losing again soon

Wow I've lost 68 pounds since surgery on Jan 9-13!!

With the ten I lost prior I've lost 78 pounds!!!

I eat 1200-1500 calories a day and have not started exercising on a reg basis due to medical problems but after this Thursdays surgery I will be able to.

I had almost a month stall before it started coming off agin. I don't worry about it but I weight everyday.

I have eaten way too many carbs and struggle with that.I use NATURES RESEARCH brand vanilla whey because it is the only one that I think tastes good actually delicious. I can eat it off a spoon!! That's my one drink a day mixed with Water that gives me 30 grams of Protein then I eat one Greek Yogurt. 11 grams of protein and a cup of skim milk for 9 grams of protein. My daily protein is 50 plus whatever meat protein I eat for dinner and lunch and low fat cheese sticks. A typical lunch is ham and cheese rolled in cabbage, dinner is baked chicken with a carb side and a veggie side. Where I get into trouble is snacking on popcorn Cookies like Nilla cookies and bread. This slows my weight loss down I know but if all my protein and liquids are in I figure a little carbs is realistic if you can control it. For instance I'll eat 6 but before surgery I'd eat the whole box. So this is my struggle to control foods I know I won't live without or cold turkey those foods and find healthy substitutes. The answer seems obvious even to me but what I want and what I do are not in sync yet!

Before surgery 289

day of surgery 279

Today 211 June 17. day of surgery Jan 9-13

I love my sleeve I love my new life I've lost 68 lbs in 5 months.

I feel you!! I've been stalled for 3 months and I just so depressed and wonder if my body is destined to stay at this weight. I've lost 47 lbs since surgery on 1/14 and I have another 70 until goal. Went from size 26 to 20 by March. Still in a 20. I can also eat whatever I want and quite a bit too. Frustrating!

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
