Hello all!

I was sleeved on March 11th im down only 22 lbs and been stalling for about 2 weeks now at195 lbs :$

My dr cleared me to exercice so ive been going to the gym 5 days a week for a half hour fast walk, some light weights and swimming 2-3 times a week...i feel im doing everything right but i see no results yet...

Hows everybody else doing?how much have u lost?r u exercising?how do u feel overall?

Hmm.. Maybe I'm eating too fast. I just ate 2 whole eggs (over easy) in maybe 10 minutes, tops.

Did it hurt? Lol sheesh I eat so fast, need to slow down but I always forget till it's to late.

I felt full for about 20 minutes but no pain.

I was sleeved on 3/6 and very pleased with my numbers so far. Had my first pizza tonight although it was very thin crust Hawaiian and I certainly counted every gram in my dairy. It just did not thrill me. I am not a protein shake person but did find I needed to eat a protein bar almost every day to get close to 65 grams. Hard to believe such a major life change can happen over 8 weeks.

53 pounds since march 8th. I have no appetite and just make sure I get my protein shakes in for the day and only eat a small meal once a day.

I have such a hard time getting all my water too! Its so hard to manage...everytime i remember i should drink its almost food time so i wait till after i eat then i forget etc...
As for the protein surprisingly my dr doesnt want me to neither take shakes nor count my protein....he sais if i eat the right amounts of lean meat and follow the plan o should get enough protein....i never exceed 50g of protein i wonder if its normal...
On the other hand i feel great and im starting to feel my clothes getting bigger!

3/13 was my surgery date! Down about 31 pounds. I haven't been able to get liquids as recommended. I had allergy to dairy before op & I tried cheese stick and but of cereal and milk & have experienced nausea which I haven't had up until now. Everything else is fine, I've been a bit tired & struggle to get in enough calories. I am starting to track calories now in hopes of getting in my liquids & protein!

The thinner me: its my understanding we need higher?amouts of protien to prevent muscle loss.

Im wondering sthg...people who have stalls, do u still feel like u lost weight even tho the scale's not moving or u actually dont feel like uve lost any weight and once the scale starts moving again u start seing it?

I'm tracking my progress a variety of ways... weight, body fat percentage, measurement, pictures, and of course, how my clothes fit.

I was stuck at 215 for about a week (technically a stall is longer than that) , I started feeling a little frustrated, so I pulled out a pair of "too small pants" that had been too tight on the tummy... And they fit!! Progress!!!

Think about those NSV and all the little things. The other morning I got out of bed wearing a short nightie and noticed how much smaller my legs look. My rings are fitting looser. My bras need to be on the tightest hooks. I have big calfs and can't wear tall boots (not even my hubby barn boots) but today?? I was walking past them and though "maybe??" and low and behold, my leg slides in!

Celebrate every single little moment!

I am down 34 lbs and have been stuck at 198 for two weeks now. Keep telling myself it's no biggie but then I start to panic. I have been over 200 lbs the majority of my adult life so I keep having thoughts that this is the lowest weight I can get to.

The realistic part of me knows this isn't the case but the fat girl in me is laughing and telling me that I can't do it even with the help of surgery. The fat girl needs to get punched in the face. Twice.

I was sleeved March 23rd . I was 223 when I made my appointment , & lost 14 pounds during the pre-op. Since the surgery I lost 12 pounds , a little disappointing ...but I heard after 40 days things kick in!

I don't have many issues with food, & protein ...everything taste the same as it used to, I usually eat a lot of steak, funny thing ..steak feels the best on my stomach. I find the fluids a little challenging every day, but I usually get them into me. No real pain since day 2. Things went well.

I feel the same way. I am also stuck at 198 and I feel as if this is it for me even though I am only 4 weeks post op. Its also the fat girl in me saying I cannot do it, but each day I continue to do what is required of me and I praise myself for making it this far!

My surgery was 3/28. I started at 257, was down to 238 from the pre op diet, and am at 222 today. I can't seem to get in enough protein without drinking one shake a day. The rest of eating is going pretty well. There really hasn't been anything that has disagreed with me, I just can't get in enough volume to meet the protein requirements without the shake.

I haven't had any issues getting liquids in, and I'm trying to get more than the 64 oz. my doctor recommends because I keep reading people's posts talking about how much it helps to move the scale when you take in more water. I've been stuck at 222 for a few days now, and I'd really like to see it go down!

I had surgery on 3/20 and am down about 37lbs total but have not lost any weight since 4/10! I feel slightly better seeing other comments about early stalls here. I haven't been tracking calories or actual total protein. I REALLY hate tracking - as someone else mentioned, it's never worked for me in the past, but maybe it is a good idea now?

I will be upping my water intake, so hopefully that will kick start things again.

Surgery 3/30. SW 265 PSW 251 current weight 234. I've only lost 5 lbs since my weigh in thee weeks ago, but the scales are moving again, and I keep feeling smaller. I'm into my skinniest pants without any strain, so I'm just keeping on.

tracking didn't work for you in the past because your body was fighting you restricting calories (or weight watchers points, as the case may be LOL!), or you were like me and tracked on good days but then "forgot" on days you overate. or you tracked but didn't measure your food and thus underestimated what you were eating, or you tracked but then gleefully ate the 1200 extra calories your fitbit gave you just because you walked around the mall.

I don't like to do it either (it seems so obsessive and time consuming, ugh!) but I don't like brushing my teeth or doing my laundry, either and I still do that! tracking gives you feedback on when and how you're eating. you can use it to see patterns, understand cause and effect relationships, and in the case of protein, making sure you're getting the nutrients you NEED to recover!

I am a reformed former anti-tracker. It does get easier as it becomes a habit, and it DOES help. not on its own, no, but combined with the boost from surgery, it definitely allows you greater insight into what you're doing, what to change, and what to keep up on.

I think about when I first started tracking and brought my journal to the dietician. I thought that I'd eaten out maybe three or four times in the last two weeks, which was a bit much but within their 0-2 times/week recommendation. looked in my tracker and I'd eaten out NINE TIMES. that's a LOT of unaccounted for empty calories.
