I had my Sleeve surgery November 14, 2012. I lost weight regularly up until this last month. As of this month it seems I can eat much more than normal and I have stopped loosing and have been stalled for a month. I have lost a total of 65 pounds but still have 65 more to go and am getting concerned that I will stay where I am. Any comments or suggestion will help!

ok. I have not posted in quite a while... I had surgery sept 28. Went from 227 to 194 by probly January.. Uhm, I still weigh between 189 and 194!!! BUT, My size 16 pants I bought at the early 194 are now kinda loose, and my top size is now a large in most clothes... I never made an exercise routine/habit, I eat whatever but ALOT less of it, and everyone says every week at church how I am melting away.. I haven't measured lately either.. But obviously, something is happening.. I am happy with how I look and feel, but am feeling the challenge to lose more so I need to make some adjustments. I had not been at this weight in a good 20-25 years so I am also wondering if my 25 year old fat is a wee bit stubborn. I am enjoying my new wardrobe, which is much smaller then my old wardrobe in size and quantity. So that all being said, be mindful of the some of the key points we were given to utilize our tool: don't drink before and after you eat (i ned to get back into that habit), don't drink soda (i do that, DP addict, non-recovered), protein first, good carbs not crap carbs and exercise... I saw this post on pinterest about marking your water bottle with the time you should have that amount drank (drunk , whatever).. I am working on doing that but 6 ozs an hour may have been too steep for me to start. I suck at drinking water. BUT, even if I do not lose another pound the rest of my life I am totally happy with my decision to get sleeved! I feel better, I look better and I know it is not over for me yet. I just have to find my formula and stick with it... I recommend measuring too.. I may try to measure this afternoon if i can find my last spreadsheet of measurements to compare...

Right there with you. I was sleeved in December. My weight loss slowed significantly over the past month. I stay the same for a while, then I go down a pound or two, get all excited and the next day I've gained it back. I need to exercise more for sure. I also need to drink more water. I've struggled with that from the beginning. I'm trying to roll with it and not get too worked up over it. This isn't about who finishes first is what I keep telling myself. It is a lifetime of work we have on our plates

Stall for 2 weeks no fun if this was a diet I would quit again' date=' glad I have the sleeve.[/quote']

I am so there with you!

Any updates I'm still stalled. Suggestions?

Last week I finally lost a pound but it was mainly Water. Started back on my c25k program so hoping that kicks this stall into high gear.

On another sidenote I had my six month appointment yesterday for postop and never saw the doctor. I waited 2 1/2 hours in the waiting room until I finally went up and said if the doctor is running behind because of surgery complications I'll leave my paperwork and come back later. They assured me he was coming right over to see patients and they took me right back which then they promptly left me sitting for almost 45 minutes. I got mad and walked out and haven't heard from the doctors office yet! I think I'll be returning to my GP & let him monitor my progress from this point on!

I'm right there with everyone too! I was sleeved 11/15 and lost about 10 lbs per month consistently until now, I've been stalled for a month and I go up and down the same 2 lbs. I wasn't exercising much besides walking and had just started to up the anty and walked 40 miles in one week and lost NOTHING. Now I joined the gym 2 weeks ago, I'm taking classes and hired a personal trainer 2x per week and you know what? STILL NOTHING!! I"m so frustrated and I have lost 58 lbs but still have another 37 lbs to go to my goal weight (although the doctors don't want me to lose more than another 25-30 tops.. um NO)..but I'm afriad that I won't lose anymore.. Whenever I was on a diet I'd do fine until I started to exercise, then I'd stall and that was it.. I was never able to lose anymore and funny but I always stalled between 165-157 lbs and here I am at 162...stalled. I do have PCOS which doesn't help but still , I'm so frustrated. I don't eat a lot at all but get in what I need to protein and water wise most days. I just don't get it and certainly hope I'm not going to remain stuck here, I'm doing all I can to kick start it.

Still right where I was before.... I have stepped up exercise a bit but no changes In weight.

I changed up calories this week but haven't weighed yet so we will see. I feel like I lost a bit but I don't really count a loss until it sticks for more than a day..

6mo.for me too.... been in a big stall for over a month but this morning my scale moved I am so happy I hope my scale won't disappoint me tomorrow morning :-) have 60 more lbs to go loss a total of 85lbs

We're c25king together. Go for it!

I was sleeved 12/20 so it'll actually be 6 months post op tomorrow and boy have i stalled as well. Ive lost a total of 71 pounds since surgery and I have 40 more pounds to go. I am going to try the pouch test and hopefully boost my loss back up. I've been exercising every single day with no off days and eating pretty good for the most part aside from these crazy sugar cravings. Does anyone have any other tips to get things moving again?

It's basically going back to the post op stages to restart your weight loss. Most people lose 5-10 pounds during the test
