I am 2 months and 3 weeks out and I have hit a stall. I been the same weight for a week 1/2. I am really feeling down. I feel like I should be losing way more. I eat very lil and eat through out the day. I really dont know what I am doing wrong or maybe my sleeve is not working. This process can drive me crazy at times. Im just asking do anyone else go through problems, feeling bummed

@@keyyzzVSG36 "only" 45 lbs in less than 3 months?? That's a great loss! Stalls are normal - your body is adjusting - it doesn't mean you're doing something wrong or that the sleeve isn't working. If I lost 45 lbs in that time period - I'd be dancing in the streets! If you are meeting your Protein and Water goals - just keep doing it! The weight will continue to come off. How much protein are you getting?? Are you drinking at least 64ozs of non-caloric liquids? Be positive - not bummed! You're doing great! And - remove the word "ONLY" from your vocabulary! :-)

Thank you.....You made me smile, and yes I get my Protein in, but my Water I get 40 or less maybe i should work harder on that. Best of luck to you again thank you

Stop whining, this is not a sprint, it's a cross country rest of your life journey. Stay off the scale except once a week and do what you're supposed to do. Let your body adjust. Your sleeve is working just fine.

It also depends on how much you have to lose. Those with less to lose almost always will lose more slowly. I am pre-surgery, I would be thrilled to lose 45 pounds no matter how long it takes.

Only?!! That's fantastic! I am 5 months post op and down 65

You've lost 45 pounds and arrive at the conclusion that your sleeve is "not working." Mad science.

45 Ib in under 3 months is a great loss! And stalls will keep happening, they are a normal part of the weigh-loss journey.

I am 6 months post op, and I lost 66 Ib, and I am very happy with this.

My last stall lasted almost 4 weeks.

I am lower BMI, and I am happy with my weight-loss. I don't have much loose skin, only in my upper arms.

And I am 22 Ib away from my stretch goal.

Be grateful for your weight-loss. You are losing at a good rate for you

The negative feed back I truly ignore you. Its not call whinning. Its called a journey that im new at. First off I am human so chill. Second if I want to be concern with anything that got to do with she, her, I......I am in title @@Linaka To everyone else thank you 4 your kind words and feedback

You absolutely need more water/fluid. 64 oz is a minimum for me.

Stalls are a normal, natural, and necessary part of the process of losing weight.

I’m 15 days post op and I’m “only 4-5 lbs down!BUMMER. Which I clearly realized in the “Real World" is normal health loss. But folks like us who’ve resorted to going under the knife because of (in my case) life long failures at this very Quest, seem to expect the worst, and easily return to that negative thinking-for obvious reasons. We’ve been fighting a losing battle, UNTIL NOW. I KNOW HOW YOU FEEL! It’s as if this tool is going to stop working at any point, just like every other attempt. Wow. . I’m not much help am I LOL. Seriously, let’s stay positive follow the rules, take a walk, and win this battle-finally, and Finally. Peace!

It took me four and a half months to lose 45 pounds. Manage your expectations.

Just sayin.

Water, I am pre-op, but my experience has always been that if I don't drink enough water I don't lose no matter how strict I am with my eating. Just a thought.
