I had a 2 week stall once around 3 months. But now about 1-3 pounds a week which is fine for me. I met my personal goal, not sure how much further the sleeve will take me. But you're right it was worth it all. Happy happy happy

Slow looser here. Surgery 8/6/13 and have only lost 29 pounds. Just came out of a long stall, but honestly still struggling with getting in all the Protein and Water. But I know I will get there. Need new clothes before I can go into another meeting!!!

Idoyle as long as we are all losing that's what counts. I had a hard getting my protien and Water in as well. It takes time and the new tummy has to heal. We will all get to our goals! In the beginning remembering to eat and drink, take Vitamins, minerals and so on becomes a part time job until it becomes second nature. Take care of yourself :-):-)

I have been down this road myself, I'm only 2 months and some weeks but I have had stalls and they do get frustrating. No matter what your sleeved......

I have been at goal more or less since Feb 2013.

In hindsight, the speed at which it happened matters less and less... it is the getting and staying there that count. :)

I've lost 45lbs since my surgery on July 26th. I feel like I am losing at a steady pace and haven't had what I would consider a true stall yet. Some weeks I lose 2-4lbs and others I may not lose anything. But the scale has not shown any gain so far so I will take it. I know I will get to goal and I am trying my best not to obsess about how fast I will get there.

I'm losing at an average of a pound to a pound and a half a week. Not exactly a breakneck pace for someone of my weight but I'm OK with it. I'm eating 1240 calories a day.

Progress is progress.....no matter how much or how little. I have to keep reminding myself of that. Now that I don't spend so much time focusing on the weight loss I am really enjoying this journey! I know I will NEVER go back and that is the most important part to me!

      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!
