Hi, got the date of Nov 24th....holy crap. Would love to have a buddy or group with the same date to chat with!

emsgirl: Do you have to go off of them totally??? Can't you use them to supplement?

She wants me off of them. She says we use them as a safety blanket.

I think it maybe over..the stall I mean. Down this morning 5 lbs...but my scale is up and down. Saw my Nut and Dr. yesterday. He was great, said I look good. She, the NUT was a Debbie Downer! I told her my goal and she said I would not reach it. Well, thank you Miss Positive Pants. She said to expect the average of 60% of excess weight and that a lot if people are still very over weight even after WLS. I think she is wrong...I hope she is wrong!

Oh and she said 800 cal max right now, 60-90 protein and lots of water.

• Jacqbult: Best revenge is to prove her wrong!!!! You show her you will meet your goal!

I had my one month follow-up yesterday.... which was actually my 25 day follow up. And, miraculously, my stall eased up enough for me to log in a 5 pound loss since my 2 week visit. That makes my total since surgery 20 lbs. And, since August when I started planning for surgery, I am down 47! New Christmas Carroll: "All I Want for Christmas is a THREE Pound Loss!" - (To make the total 50!)

Anyway, I can start with solid foods today. We had our company holiday pot luck and I was afraid to trying anything so I simply ate the mini-quiche I made and a half of slice of cranberry sauce. I was fine and didn't feel "odd" not being a piglet like everyone else! Boy, you sure do notice other people's eating habits, styles and approaches when you are restricted!

I really want my stall to be over too. Hoping solids will help.

What's the progress people haven't heard anything

I was sleeved on the 24th. Down 32.5 lbs. But stuck there for the last week.

I was sleeved on 11/25/14, I lost 20 lbs before surgery, and 24 after surgery. I keep hitting stalls. Oh well slow and steady right.

U guys are doing better than me. I was sleeved on 24th only lost 22lbs since

What were you before? I was HW 280 SW 260 CW 236.

I was 215 lbs

I am super frustrated. Not only is my stall 2.5 weeks, but I gained 2 pounds! I was super strict during the holidays and always brought my own food. I was looking forward to joining tge gym, but ended up twisting my knee. I can hardly walk Arghhhh!

Stats:

Height 5'11"

HW 340

SW 313

CW 289-292

So I'm 24 down. I guess we are all I the same boat...normal maybe. I hear after 6 weeks things get moving again.
