I am not losing the way I think I should be. I read so many of you losing big hunks of weight by this time (I'm 5 weeks out) and I have stalled for 3 weeks already. I'm discouraged and disappointed and feeling defeated. I know I am doing everything right. I've joined a gym and I'm walking several miles a few times a week. I am trying to drink enough water and get all my protein in. I have been known to throw up part of my meal from time to time. But overall I'm consuming about 600-800 calories a day. Constipation has been bad for me but I think it's bad for everyone. My SW was 227 and CW is 203 I have lost 24 lbs. am I crazy? Is there something I can do to jolt this stall? My husband says I'm being silly and looking at the glass half empty. I feel frustrated. Help!!!

Yes. I lost 22 in 2 weeks and then only 2 lbs in 3 weeks. I keep thinking I'm doing something wrong too. I read about girls eating nothing but bacon and steak and chicken and cheese and yogurt and I'm just wondering why???? Sent from my iPhone using VST -

July 2013 Sleevers
JennyFromTheBlock replied to DagsboroDebbie's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I was sleeved on July 23rd so that makes me 10 days out. I'm down 15 lbs. I am still on mostly liquids. I've tried to eat scrambled eggs and mashed potatoes but my belly was not happy. I'm still on protein shakes and water. Egg drop soup was recommended by my nutritionist and it goes down nice. I'm not in pain but I get odd feelings now and then. I am scared to cause a leak so I'm being super careful. Yay for July sleevers!!!! -

I live in Bergen/Passaic county and would love a buddy someone to talk to someone to take walks with and shop with!!! -
I am in the hospital too hoping to go home today yes the gas is really annoying and everything I try to drink hurts so bad when it goes down. Everything went well. I wish I didn't have to take in liquids because I'm not even hungry at all. How is everyone else doing?

I made the same mistake, in telling my very judgmental sisters. My husband and daughters are so supportive, and are backing my decision, which they know is based on my research and speaking to others, and joining groups like this. I went to seminars, met with 3 surgeons, went to a psychologist, a nutritionist, and my general practitioner. What I got from my sisters was "I wouldn't do that if I were you." Of course they are not me, they are all under 130 lbs. They have never been fat, but they call themselves 'fat' in that annoying skinny girl kind of way. I don't listen to them, but it still hurts. You deserve support and love, which is what I told them. I didn't ask for anyone's opinion (except for my husband) so I don't need any unsolicited advice and warnings about how this person gained all their weight back and its a waste of time, you're just gonna get fat again... Some people suck. Just believe in yourself and your decision, and do your best!!!!!!! -
