I must be a slow loser but I haven't done any workouts of any kind... so 10 pounds... for the first month doesn't seem good at all. Any advice would be appreciated thanks dears. And I totally forgot about me one week check up to add that so down 18pounds and 20 on pree op diet.. fun fun.

Sleeved 2/28- down 45lbs including preop ..... down 19lbs since surgery.

sleeved 2/21 down 38 lbs!

That's too funny. I was sleeved the day after you (2/22), and have lost 37 lbs so far.

Going for my 6 week follow up tomorrow. It is actually week 7, but I spent last week in the hospital with my mother. Wish me luck on my weigh in.

I am wondering if anybody else's nut put them on solids at 6 weeks? I have been able to eat a lot of different things just a heck of a lot less. I'm still not getting in protein or water the way I am supposed to. Well as far as the protein I need it's a financial thing. And I can't stand the powders tastes like chalk! I'm lost I was 306 at my 2 week visit and at my 6 week I was 275 now 270. I'm a supper slow loser and right now I am feeling lost!!! I was sleeved 2-5-13. Any alternate suggestions or answers would really be appreciated. Thanks for letting me vent!

36 pounds in 9 weeks is 4 pounds a week--so I would not say that is super slow! In fact, it is probably above average. Congrats!!!!!

Thank you Tes I just don't know if by me not getting my appropriate amount of daily protein in if I was harming myself and causing the weight loss to stop. I do manage to get on my elliptical about 15 minutes 3x's a week doing at least 3 miles.

That's great! You should get in the protein however you can. have you tried adding unflavored to soup or yogurt?

31 lbs in 4 weeks is "super slow"? That's almost 8 lbs a week - over a pound a day! Don't get unrealistic in your expectations - you're doing amazingly well!!!

Sleeved 2/26 down 18. I am so depressed.

Sleeved 2/27 lost 32 lbs and from size 22w to 18 with wiggle room. Woohoo

I'm so excited. Walk today too.

Sleeved 2/27

SW: 260

Yesterday's weight: 237 and have been there for 2 weeks

Today's weight: 235 maybe my stall has broken? I sure hope so. It's about darn time.

For those of you that are experiencing stalls, please list your starting weight and when you experienced your stall. I have a sneaky suspicion on what causes these stalls, but need a little input before I spout off.

I'll go first - I was sleeved on 2/22 and have not experienced a stall yet (keeping fingers crossed). My starting weight was 335. I am not 298. If you are uncomfortable listing your weight, your BMI will also work.

Finally... a male with about the same starting weight as I :-)

As far as stalls.... not sure why folks fret about it. If you know you're not over-eating, then keep doing what you're doing. When you're stalled and still eating right, you're most likely losing inches.
