For those that wrote that they are a slow loser: Have you measured yourself everywhere... arms, thighs, chest, hips, waist? I bet you have lost a lot of inches. In the beginning I didn't notices too much weight loss and went from a size 22 to a loose 16.

I really don't even wight myself because I know it is discouraging and I don't need the added stress. I just wait until I see my NUT or Dr. to find out. I put a piece of masking tape over the # part of the scale and wrote down my goal weight. This means every time I step on the scale when I look down I will only see my goal weight and I am forced to wait until I see the DR to find out or I can bend over and rip it off (which I know will be wrong and defeat the purpose of the tape).

Try this trick it really works and lowers your stress. Also I posted a blog about helping with plateaus/stalls. If you think it may help try adding a slice of avocado with every meal for 1 week and see if the scale moves... Here is the blog and the science behind how it works. http://www.verticalsleevetalk.com/blog/2407/entry-6047-avocado-can-help-with-stalls-plateau/

APRIL 30 TH DOWN 19 #'s. WALKING MORE EVERYDAY !

SURG 4/30 DOWN 19 #'S

I was sleeved April 26th, and I'm down 25 lbs. My weight has been stalled for a week now. Good to know I'm not the only one.

However, stay encouraged. I think I am still losing inches.

I was sleeved 4/22 and only lost 15 lbs. Have been stalled for almost 2 weeks. Curious to know what was everyone's starting weight? I had my lap band removed and was sleeved the same day. I'm starting to think my doc just removed the band :(

I as well was sleeved on the 22nd and my lap band removed... My 1st post op appt. 4/29, I was down 14lbs and I haven't weighed myself since. I feel like I haven't lost any... I too am starting to feel like he just removed the band and is some how trying to use mind control on me.. lol

Sleeved 4/22.....been on stall for 2 weeks.....stall FINALLY lifted yesterday!!!! Yay!!!......still on liquids per doc.....water aerobics 2xs a week.....walking everyday.....

I was sleeved on April 24. I'm a sllllowwww loser, but o date have lost 10 pounds. I'll take it, since in the past it would take me two or more months to lose that. Slow and steady wins the race.
