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've been losing steadily, however I have been stalled for the past 2-3 weeks.

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!

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
