I stalled for a week. Now I'm back to losing. I feel like the amount I've lost is too little for now being in my 5th week. Anyone else experiencing same ? ????

I was sleeved November 7th down about 30 pounds and I haven't hit a stall yet (knock on wood I weigh in tomorrow) I'm having such a hard time not comparing myself to other people on these forums that's my greatest down fall. I'm very pleased with how easy the transition/ recovery has been for me. Who knew my stubborn nature would come in such handy someday lol.

Hey November sleevers. How's everyone doing?

Hello Susie :)

I'm doing ok. Dealing with some pain that just came on yesterday (after no pain the past few weeks), so keeping an eye on it and might need to call my doctor.

I've lost 29 pounds since my surgery date of 11-14. Slow weight loss the past few weeks, but that's ok with me.

So glad I had the surgery!

How are you doing and when was your surgery?

@@mylighthouse Hi!

Seeing this a little late. How are you feeling from your pain now? I too have had a slow weightloss since surgery. I was sleeved November 25 (today is 7 weeks/50 days post op!). I have been lucky with no pain. I have not had much gas either.

I loved eggs before surgery now all I do is slime up after having so that's a no go.

Starting weight: 313

SW: 295

CW: 274

I have been going up and down 1 KG last week and losing less than 2 pounds for the last two weeks. I don't know why but I'm not too concerned as I'm counting my calories, Protein and Water intake, as well Vitamins to make sure I'm doing well. I'll see what happens. Calories wise I'm between 500-800 calories.

Oh, I've also started to do some light exercise. So far so good. I am trying to add little weights for the arms. I'm starting to see some flabs. :)

We're so close in SW, CW and surgery date. Mine was on the 25th of November!

@@SusieSouth Hello!

Yes, we really do have similar stats!

So glad to hear that you didn't have any pain and not much gas either. My surgery pain has been gone for a few weeks now, and I am feeling a lot better and I have a lot more energy than I had a few weeks ago. Like you, I have the flab on my arms, and I've been lifting light (5 lb) weights to try and help with that. Also, the pain from my incisional hernia has been at a minimum lately, which has allowed me to walk quite a bit more. I got back to using my treadmill a couple of weeks ago, and I'm really pleased about that.

I am like you with the weight loss too... not losing more than a couple of pounds a week. My biggest weight loss came pre-op and also the first 2 weeks after surgery. I'm not worried about it at all, but I have to say it would be nice to drop it a little quicker.

Great job in keeping up with your Water, Protein and Vitamins... same here, making sure I am on top of all of those things.

I am just about 11 days ahead of you, but I am getting in quite a bit more in calories these days. I find that I can eat about an ounce more of meat (mainly chicken) at my lunch and dinner meals than I could 2 weeks ago. I also discovered hunger for the first time again a few weeks ago. I have been REALLY hungry when it's time for Breakfast, lunch and dinner. I still have Snacks too. One snack time is late morning... a couple of hours after breakfast... and my other snack time is mid afternoon... a few hours after lunchtime. I usually have some kind of Protein like string mozarella cheese and several almonds for a snack. Yesterday I tried some white bean hummus that I found at the grocery store.

What about you Susie? Are you snacking at all? How many meals a day do you get in? Are you still supplementing protein intake with Protein shakes or by adding unflavored protein to food or drink?

I will still have a bit of a Premier Protein shake or some unflavored protein added to a drink each day. I have been keeping my protein intake at about 90 grams a day, thinking that it might help with the weight loss.

It's great to talk with you and I'm glad you are doing well. :)

Also sleeved in Nov, I feel like it's been slow for me, but I'm still losing inches when I'm not losing weight, so far down 40lbs.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
