Just a heads-up. You are are approaching the three week mark and will likely hit a stall (most do). DON'T PANIC if/when that happens.

I've only lost 7 lbs since I had surgery on feb 25 and I'm so depressed about it I don't understand why since I'm not eating and only drinking Protein Shakes and yogurts

Some of us are slow losers. I lost almost 15 pounds the first month, but only about 6 pounds per month since then. Remember, this isn't a race. There is no great value or advantage in getting to goal ASAP, because you will never be "done" with WLS the way you might be "done" with a diet. This is the rest of your life now. So you have all the time in the world to get to goal. 10 years from now, when you are maintaining your goal weight and are happy and healthy, do you think it will matter if it took you 6 months or 16 months to reach your goal?

Warmest congratulations on your success so far!

@@JamieLogical is absolutely right about the infamous 3-week stall. *Scream!* Most of us experienced it. Mine last almost a month, but the weight loss will resume again! So hang in there if you hit that stall.

I've lost 14pds in 14 days. I really hope I'm not a part of the 3 week stall.

as some said, this isnt a race as it will continue for the rest of your life. When losing slows down, i will keep a level head and know that it will eventually kick back in. It is not a sprint.... its a process. I am simply feeling happy that the sleeve is doing what they said it would do. you always wonder.... will i be that person who it didnt work for? Have a great day everyone. it is almost fifty degrees here in maine!!
