    Hi everyone! I've been a bit MIA since surgery. Have been trying to stay busy and have definitely been self reflective. Everything went well, but wow, what a surreal experience- probably because I tr

I hit the 2 week stall...lol.... still not moving any weight......it is pretty discouraging......

I hit it last week and stalled for six days. Try drinking more water if you can and up your exercise. I think that's what jump started it for me.

So have I!!! Very frustrating, I've been stalled for over a week now and it's driving my crazzzyyy lol


I got mine done April 12th... how is everyone doing?

I'm a fan of the premier protein shakes, taste great and easy for on the go. They are sold at Costco so it's easy to buy in bulk as well.




Watch the Costco ones because sometimes you get some chunky ones. ? They're great about exchanging them, but it's a hassle.

So any of my April Sleevers experience the week 3 stall?




I've been stalled for awhile... I had 2 good weeks totaling about 17 pounds and since then I've been going back and forth with the same one or two pounds. I've been running, eating carefully, etc. but that scale just won't budge! I think I'm losing some inches but still...

Literally on the same boat! Lost 18lbs my first week and been going back & forth with the same 2-3 pounds since [emoji30]


I was sleeved on 4/24 I lost 17lbs, everything thankfully went smoothly for me. I lost 14 the first week and 3 at the beginning of week 2 But since then I have been on the famous stall. I thought I was doing something wrong but now I see I'm not the only one. I think I might just put my scale away because it's stressing me out

Well that's a lot better than my numbers! Not cheating and only lost 10lbs post-op. Really disappointed.

I don't have a scale at home but there is one at my workplace. I'm totally obsessing daily. I have a huge fear of failing at this! I feel liked I sacrificed so much to get here and it's really not working!

We will all get there. This journey is crazy and our bodies are still healing and adjusting. Stay positive, look for NSVs, and trust the process! We got this!!

Don't lose hope! My sister was sleeved 8 months ago and lost over 100lbs this definitely works but stalls are part of the process! It's definitely frustrating but I'm still walking everyday and eating what I'm suppose to because eventually the stall will break stay positive!!!

Thanks for the encouragement guys. This has been really difficult for me! I start with a personal trainer tomorrow so hopefully I can post better news next week. I actually think my body is starving but I can't eat or drink much.

I can't wait to work with a personal trainer. For right now, I'm walking a mile a day. Soon, I'll work up with a mile in the morning and a mile after dinner, then move up to 2 in the morning and 2 after dinner. Also right now, I'm doing 20 flights of steps (takes me all day) at home. I didn't think anything was really working, but last weekend I was at an auditorium in our city and I ran up two flights of stairs to get to the second floor. Two months ago I would've been doubled over after one flight. It's amazing how fast the body heals and moves forward.

It certainly is frustrating but look at how much weight you've lost!! I hit a 2 week stall also so I stopped weighing myself for a while, walked more and ate less and the scale started moving again.

don't despair. you are doing so well
