Hip

I feared that I would not lose weight quickly as I did when I got the band. Then I hoped since im still 250-260 at 5'6" that I would have an initial push of weight loss. Well the first week I dropped 10 pounds roughly. Then nada!!! Over two weeks now and nothing....then this morning.....two pounds higher!!! Maybe water....I dont know. Havnt been eating that great because Im miserable and feel like crap! Im guessing im eating roughly 1000-1200 calories a day. Im gonna give it a go this week AGAIN and go low fat protiens....fluids....and see what happens. Getting discouraged......nothing in over 2 weeks.

Feeling bad mentaly. I feel like I was meant to be fat and thats that. I just need to get on the ball and do this hardcore like I did when I first got lap band in 08. If I would lose a few pounds it would really get me motivated. I guess Ill see what this week brings.

Thanks, I will definitly get more strict and hope I start losing. I even worked in the yard yesterday and was so miserable all day i was doing things and lifting things I definitly shouldnt have!! I get in these moods where I dont care about myself or anything. I dont know why. I didnt feel this bd before surgery. I guess the stall is getting to me and only because I have fear Im stuck here and wont lose like I thought. I had lap band in 08 and know stalls well but I knew they were stalls. This time I cant convince myself its just a stall. If I could do my normal activites I think Id be doing better but I guess I have 3 more weeks of taking it easy. Its hard when I feel fine ad the weather is nice. I was sleeved April 7th......it feels like months ago already!!

I havnt been eating a lot of carbs at all excpt for the times I feel like crap and eat dry cerial and chocolate a few times. I had some cream soup here and there but for the most part ive been eating fake crab meat, real crab meat, and bbq chicken I cooked in the crock pot. Im 3 weeks out so ive been eating soft stuff. I usually eat 4-6 oz of protien 5-6 times a day. Im gonna measure and be more strict this week and see if I can get this rolling. Im so bummed right now.

Same here!!! Over two weeks!!! Started a week afte surgery!! Lost 10 pounds since surgery and thats it...Im majorly discouraged!!! Ive had stalls with lap band but not right out of the gate!

Dont feel bad....sleeved 4/7 and been stalled out since the 13th or 14th...SUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCKS

I went in to have them both done at the same time and woke up with NO SLEEVE!!! I was highly upset as my doctor did not come in the first day for HOURS to explain why. I waited 2 months and got the sleeve. Good Luck!!

A 8oz protien shake is on average 100 calores. A Slimfast is around 190....an insure is like 250 I believe. If I could not eat I would substitute with meal shakes to get in my nutrition.

Why wouldnt you eat if you were hungry? 500 calories is NOT ENOUGH. I am always surprised people are proud that they are eating 400-700 calories a day. That is not healthy and not keeping your metabolism going...

You stupid...fat...worthless...LOL...Just kidding...Dont sweat it. Just get back to doing your thing!!!

Thanks a lot for your responces....it gives me hope Its easy to get worried that Im just stuck where I am. I just cant wait to start working in the yard....kayaking...fishing...surfing...and doing all the things I love without worrying about hurting myself.

Been eating protien out the wazoo. Under or around 1000 calories a day (mostly protien). A bit of exercise but not much. STUCK FOR 2 WEEKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! UUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It just worries me because Im a revision from a band and am already down over 100. Been in the 250 range for almost 2 years. I really hope its just a stall and my body didnt just find its happy weight. Im getting so frustrated with not being able to do yard work and other stuff I need to do and when I wake up the same freaking weight everyday I am ready to lose my mind!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks everyone. I will keep the faith that this will all work out. I just want to wake up everyday and see a loss and when i dont see it I want to scream!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL

I think we can all relate in some way to your story. Hang in there.

Thanks. I keep trying tot ell myself that. It feels better from hearing others say it too. I just hope it happens soon!!!!!!!

I lost 10 lbs the first week then been stalled out in weeks 2 and 3... Very frustrating!! Ive been through stalls with lap band but not this early into it.

Same here....I was sleeved on the 7th....been stalled since day 5 or 6 minus 1 pound this week!!!!!! Was 2 but went up one this morning! Looking fwd to solid protiens to get the ball rolling!!

Whats up Bro...huskie jeans...hahahaha......rolled up of course!

I had the Lap Band from July 08-Feb 11. Got sleeved a bit more than a week ago. I was 350pre band and was down to 235 at one point. I got sleeved at 260. I went down to 250 fast but stalled out 5 days ago. Been in a stall. Havnt had more than 800 calories a day. Been walking a bit here and there, I guess its just a stall. My real question is can I expect to lose a lot more? Like the initial big weight loss others get with WLS? The stall has me wondering. My plan is to be able to eat better than I could with the band yet still have restirction and get under 200 pounds. I know its a tool and I need to work it. Anyone already 50-100lbs down and still have an initial big loss?

Tomorrow will be two weeks since my sleeve and I am so sick of not being able to do anything. My Kayaks and surfboards are dry.....my fishing rods untouched....my boat covered. Im dying here!!! I keep bees and just picked up 3 more hives yesterday. My friend had to load them in my jeep!! I had to get my brother in law to help me build a rack in the yard for the new hives. I gave in and shoveled mulch with a small shovel...little wheelbarrow...and it took like an hour to do what would have took 15 minutes!! Then I was nervous I was pushing it!!! I pick up the bees tomorrow and have to get my brother in my bee suit to help get them in the hives. He isnt thrilled. I feel hopeless and I hate it!!! I also ride skateboards and bikes and have ridden my bike a bit since that is low impact. Im just whining...I cant wait to load my yak or board on my jeep and hit the water!!!

Thanks everyone. Spring is go time for me so this is really a bad time to be down. Im trying to be patient.

I still have boobs im HOPING to lose!! LOL

Lost a quick 10lbs by day 6 then nada for the last 5 days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Just venting!!!!!!!!

As of this morning the scale dropped 2 pounds.....Im not changing my ticker as it could be a false alarm! LOL
