January or February 2016 Sleevers?

[ssflbelle 829]

Everyone is doing so great. Congratulations!!! I had my 3 procedure surgery on Jan 26th. I had a good weight loss the first month 22 pounds. Since Feb 26th I have lost only 5 and am on my second stall since surgery. I just don't understand with all the weight I have to lose that my weight loss is so slow. I am getting discouraged. I bike 5 miles a day 5 days a week and am eating under 500 calories and my weight hasn't moved since March 8th.

I too have went thru some stalls. Sometimes it's because my bathroom schedule is no longer consistent. (I know. Tmi)

I think my other was due to not eating enough shockingly! My body must have went into starvation mode.

Water is still a struggle for me as well. I've never been very good at drinking water but I'm getting a lot better at it now!

That's awesome!!!

I think Water is finally getting easier

Hello everyone

I've been MIA for a while. But today finally after 8 weeks of submitting my paperwork to the insurance company and being on the pre-op diet for 4 days: my surgery was approved! I'm scheduled for April 18th! So happy. Finally this is really happening! After going back and forth with my insurance company it's all good! It's like I still can't believe it!

I was in the group because we were suppose to schedule in Feb. it didn't happen but now it finally did.

Woohoo.

Since you all are a few months ahead any suggestions on what to expect? My husband is really nervous about surgery but he usually is - even when I had my c-section.

I don't want to get nervous now as I've been waiting for this for sooooo long.

@MrsRP Welcome back! And with such happy news! Tell hubby not to fret, it was sooo much easier than either of my c-sections. You have the first suggestion I would make, down pat. Go in with a very positive attitude! I was so excited to be having it done, and just kept telling myself "All I have to do is go to sleep, and when I wake up it will all be behind me". Actually the hardest part about the surgery is the pre-op diets! If you can suffer thru those you will sail thru surgery! Prayers for you as your journey begins on the 18th! Happy Spring!

Thank you so much For the support. I'm not a fan of the pre op diet. But hey, it's for a great thing so I suck it up every day. And every day I go thru it is a day less I have to do! ????

How is everyone? Motivation keeping up?

[BlueEyes502 11]

Hey there,

I've been doing well. Diet is pretty good. I still have some trouble keeping up my Water and Protein intake. I've lost 53 lbs since surgery on 2/22/16 and 63 lbs total. I think I'm on my second stall. First one was my second week and lasted 10 days and I haven't lost anything in about 8 days now. I know it's normal but it drives me batty. I've still got approx 100 lbs that I want to lose.
