Everyone loses at different rates. Having patience and faith is a struggle, I know. The weight will come off as long as you're following your plan. :)

Hi @@fharris

My 'trick' has been to stay right away from the scales.

I was sleeved in late Feb this year and have only weighed myself twice in that time..

The first time was apoprox 6 weeks post surgery and the other was maybe six weeks ago (I'm not 100% certain)

I could tell all along that I was losing weight by the way I felt and the way my clothes started to hang off me.

But by not weighing, I've missed out on all the angst re stalls and such things...

I've had a few 'bad' weeks lately, so I've not even thought about weighing in.

On Monday I'll be 'relaunching' my focus on what I consume and will probably leave my next weight check until just before Christmas.

I know this way is not for some (most) people, but it's really worked for me.

Good luck with your new mission...

And keep up the Water and protein!!!

I weigh everyday...sometimes 2 or 3 times a day. I am just about 6 months post op. It is frustrating though. If you can help it stay away from the scale. check in once a week or once every other week so you don't get frustrated. I only lost weight about one week a month. I don't change anything I do. I end up losing about 7 to 12 pounds that week to week and a half, but still frustrating. It will come off as long as you are following the plan. Good luck!!!!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
