hi fellow sleevers!! i was sleeved last dec 7 of 2010, so far ive lost 40 lbs..im doin ok, sometimes i get frustrated when the weight loss stalls, ive been on 172 for 2 weeks, i hate that, i tend to weigh myself everytime i wake up..and it ruins my day when the scale doesnt change, im only human, i easily get frustrated. i find it helpful if i take 2 protein shakes everyday, weightloss is more consistent i think...im just a busy person, i work so many hours, i work as an r.n in a busy e.r and i work full time midnight shifts so yeah, sometimes i even forget to take my calcium citrate pills...bad bad bad...but anyhow, im lookin forward to hearin from you guys...its always nice to hear success stories!

. I am super cold too! In my workplace, I would be the one to call housekeeping to have the temperature adjusted to lower numbers because its just not good to work when its hot! When I came back to work 6 days after my surgery, man was I surprised...I was freezing!! I had to wear a sweater over my scrubs and people were complaining that it was humid and hot in the room...I was surprised...Amazed actually! So yeah, I too have a collection of hoodies for work use...Went to hollister's yesterday, whole store was 40 % OFF !!

hi, I started the elliptical machine on week 3...i do 30 minutes...burns about 300 calories... hope this helps, liz

so there's a week 3 stall!!!!I am so relieved!!!its not just me!!I am not alone hahahaha!!

im in the same boat, ive added 30 minute elliptical exercise everyday, im on day 4 of the elliptical and its not helping, im also trying to add more water, i have enough protein about 80g a day, maybe i need more water...oh well we will have to try to wait it out and see..im on week 4..starting weight 199, today 186.2 .

I got my sleeve done on Dec 7th. started 199 lbs on the day of the surgery and yesterday i weighed 185.0 and this morning im a whopping 186.2! What in the world is happening? I made it a point to just weigh myself once a day and thats in the morning when i wake up and after i urinated...lol... Another problem too is that I havent had my period in 2 months...and im sure im not pregnant because i am single...people say its the body trying to adjust to the changes, but wow....how come i feel like im the only one stalling??? I think everyone else or majority of sleevers out there are losing a pound every single day and mine is just s t a l l i n g !!!!! Im scared of my six week doc visit, I feel embarassed that i practically didnt lose that much...im sure my doc expected me to lose more.... BUT ILL PRAY FOR ALL OF US WHO ARE STRESSED OUT BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM, I KNOW THERE WILL COME A TIME WHEN OUR BODY GETS IT AND WILL START SHEDDING THE WEIGHT!!! good luck to all of us...please post updates!! Its always nice to hear that someone's losing weight out there...

HELLO, my name is Liza, I had my gastric sleeve surgery on December 7 2010. My original weight was 211 lbs. On the day of surgery, my weight was down to 199. Today at about 3 weeks post op, I weigh at 186 lbs. I feel great, sometimes I wake up in the morning and I had to remind myself that I had the surgery. I think my weightloss is super slow and I am not very happy about it, especially for someone like me who weighs herself about 5 times a day. I just started going back to the gym 2 days ago and I use the elliptical machine for 30 minutes each day. Still though, the scale isnt moving at all. I do take my 1500mg Calcium and Multivitamins everyday and follow the diet as ordered. If there's anything unusual, I may not be able to get all the calories needed each day, Ive been trying my best to get all the Water and Protein in. I take protein everyday about 66g a day, I use nectar protein, it mixes well and has absolutely zero carbs/sugar. I am so frustrated with the super slow weight loss, Ive become kind of irritable to the people around me. 3 weeks and I stopped losing weight, I mean literally, WTF????Help me? I dont know what to do anymore, Ive followed all instructions and yet Im stuck BIG TIME! Will someone tell me this stall will end, has anyone had the same problem? Good thing though is that Im off insulin. Well duh, of course im not eating anything, my blood sugars everyday range from 80 to 88, this is the only good thing. I wanted to burn my digital weighing scale and throw it away, it just pisses me off seriously!

yep im officially getting my weighing scale out of my sight..i put it in the garage where i wont see it every minute of the day...i just got home from the gym, 30 minutes as usual on the elliptical, which i have to say feels good especially with the right music blasting from my ipod earphones, this is my "me" time, this is when i listen to inspiring music and after about 5 to 6 songs im done with my 30 minutes with the cooldown. I feel tired after the elliptical machine and so i take another Protein drink, this time just one scoop so 23g of protein there...so ill keep doing what im doing i guess and just think positive.thank u to my new friends from this forum, this is the best support group ever!!! Before i found this forum, I was watching youtube videos and thats is theyre just videos of succesful post ops...this is something new and a very informative website! Im glad i joined! liza
