I'm so down. Ive been in a stall for going on 2 weeks now. I gain 2 lbs then I loose them then I gain them back again. I'm so frustrated!!!!

I stalled at 3 weeks out for 13 days and finally today I broke it. 3 lbs down! It will get better.

Just wanted to let everyone know! I finally broke my stall today. Down 3 more lbs! I'm super happy!

Actually we both have about the same amount to lose. And we have both done good so far. I know I may be depressed about the stall but I do know 32 lbs is 32 lbs And if it wasn't for my sleeve I would have struggled and started to put weight back on already. I just heat this stall. Ugh!!!

I may need to try some relaxing technics. Thanks D1 I would definately like someone to talk to. Neeve-From the beginning I wanted to lose 100 to 120 lbs. I started at 257 and im now at 225.

Hi! I decided to quit. I'm 23 and I wanted to go back to school full time and my job was so time consuming that I couldn't even attempt to take a class. I'm just stressed about my weightloss. Like I said in my other post I feel like I'm done losing weight. I know it's going to kick in again, everyone keeps telling me that. I just don't feel like it is.

I started walking about 4 days ago. for about 15 mins a day. I'm only able to get about 30 oz of water in on a good day. I know I'll get through this I just feel so down right now. And the sleeping thing I'm not sure why I'm having trouble. Before I had surgery I was in bed by 8 or 9 because I has getting up for work at 3 or 4 am. I'm not working anymore so that could have something to do with it. I'm also taking some pain meds occasionally due to some pain in my belly button still and I think that can contribute to my lack of sleep.

I eat normal. I was cleared for everything except raw veggies and fruits. I usually only eat once or twice a day. I sleep a lot during the day because I have been having trouble sleeping at night. I almost always only eat my protein and nothing else during my dinner meal. I usually can't fit in anything else. If I do its 1 bite. I eat chicken and fish a lot. I don't know. I just feel like I'm never going to lose anymore. I paid cash for my surgery... I don't like feeling like I made a bad choice. Don't get me wrong I lost 15 lbs in my first 2 weeks and 17 during my 2 week pre op, so 32 lbs in the last month and a half and I know that is awesome. But since I've been in this stall it makes me feel like my body is done. I do have my fitness pal I just go it yesterday a couple of days ago but I haven't used it yet. I'm just discouraged...

I was told the only over the counter thing I could take for pain ever again was Tylenol!

The worst part was the 1 hour in recovery right after surgery. The gas was in my chest and I felt like I couldn't breathe. I was on oxygen to help for about 4 hours or so until the gas went away completely. The walking is what helped me. Pain meds don't really help with the gas. Other than that everything else was mild pain. I did have to use the pump more that first night because of pain from my belly button but it got better pretty quick. Just prepare your self. It will be okay. Everyone is different and tolerates pain differently. Good luck. May you have an easy surgery and recovery!

Someone please help. I've already called my nurse but haven't herd back from her. Yesterday I was eating a Popsicle around lunch time and started geting a pain every time it would go down. Well the pain continued to come off and on even when I wasn't eating. So I tried to eat some soup last night and the same thing happened. So I took my pain meds and went to bed. This morning I tried to eat my hot cerial (I made it very soupy this morning) and I still got the pain. I even get it when I drink my water. Im 9 days out. It will come and go for a couple of minutes even after I'm don't taking a drink. It's like a throbbing pain or like something big is going down. I'm not sure how else to explain my self but it hurts and I can't eat because of it.

No one else has any suggestions. I finally talked to my nurse and they told me to drink mylanta 2 before I eat and it would help. Well all the stores here were out. Hmmm who would have thought. Target pharmacist said there was a shortage..... So I got the closest thing to it. It did not help. So I'm still having the pain. I'm thirsty.

I'm on day 9 and I'm still having to take pain meds. I had to request more yesterday.

Hi I'm Brittney, I'm 23 and I was sleeved on May 1st. I'm still having a large amount of pain. =( I do not regret it at all though. I'm having trouble geting my water in and I haven't started on protein. I hope everything will get easier soon.
