Hello, everyone! I was sleeved in December and have lost 50 pounds since then. I'm proud of what I've accomplished, but feel like I'm losing so slowly. I do everything I'm supposed to do when it comes to diet and exercise, but my stalls last for weeks at a time and I'm now feeling very discouraged and depressed. Any words of wisdom for me? I'd also love to hear success stories from those who started in the 320-330 range and are now in Onederland! Please help perk up my Saturday night, fellow sleevers! Thanks!

I am January and close to your loss total. The good thing for us is our skin. Losing slower allows it to keep up. Good luck!

You are losing at about the same rate I did. As you can see in my signature, I have reached and passed my goal.

I broke several stalls with extended walking. I went on vacation and walked in theme parks every day. Water, Vitamins, Fiber, and even eating a bit more can bust through stalls.

I was sleeved in Dec & lost about 50 lbs! May be slow....but it's 50 lbs I would never have lost without it! So as long as the scale is moving in the right direction...I am Happy!!

I have been in a really long stall (3 weeks so far). I know it will break soon so I'm hanging in there you will be fine ;)

Sleeved at the end of March - lost 27 in the first 3 weeks and then hit the dreaded stall... Just broke through by upping my calories and my exercise - down another 7 in the past two weeks. It will happen!! :)

      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? 🤷‍♀️
