I was sleeved in October 2016. I've not had any major stalls...But know that time is coming soon. Change up your things you're eating...Be careful with portions and add maybe 15 minutes a day to your exercise.....Walk..Drink more liquids and make sure you're Protein levels are being reached. Just like we did when we first had the surgery :). Mine has slowed down...But not completely stopped....Not looking forward to that day.. :/ sending you lots of wishes for continued success!!

Having the same problem!! But it might be I'm putting on muscle, not sure...clothes are looser but the scale doesn't want to go down...going to watch my snacking, increase cardio and increase Protein and water.. All the best!!

Hi. I'm a July sleever too. I was sleeved July 11th 2016. I hit a major weightloss stall in the beginning of December. It was so depressing because I was doing everything right but the scale wasn't moving.
I was finally able to get it moving again. I did the five day pouch test and egg diet. Started doing more intense works and pushing myself. The weight finally started coming off.
Remember to do measurements to cause alot of time the scales isn't moving but the inches are falling off.
Just remember stalls and plateaus are very normal. It's your body playing catch up from you losing all this weight.
Not everyone losing the same amount of weight. Remember this is your journey. You got this and keep your head up. Congrats on your weightloss. That's alot of weight. You should be very proud of yourself.

I was sleeved 4/28/2016 and also have not lost anything in 2 months. Total weight loss only 50lbs (to me that's not much but to others it's a lot). I started back at the gym full force this week and tracking all my food but still no budge. I'm going to try the 5 day pouch test. So depressing but I have to keep pushing. Good luck!

      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!!
