I'm still in my stall since the 13th of January. I was watchn the end of Wendy Williams show today n she had Dr. Ian on there promoting his shred diet. He actually stated that during the 3 rd week most all people will either stall or weightloss slows down. So evn on non surgical diets, if u will, the body still responds the same. So that made me feel pretty cool knowing that its just the way the body works, not just bc we had wls! Just thot I'd share that. Gla, n gr8 numbers:)) God Bless.

Seems like I stall for two days then lose two pounds, then repeat. That's a cycle I can deal with.

Hello!
I was in a wicked stall, but seem to be losing again! I am sorry I haven't reported, but here you go:
SW: 290
CW: 257

Okay folks, here are our numbers for the week:
Total pounds to be lost: 9542
Total pounds lost so far: 2825.8
We're at 29.6% of our goal.
Currently we have 78 people participating (although some of them have not updated their numbers since late December).
Excellent job everyone! Congratulations to you all...we're almost a third of the way there!

I had my 6 week check up today, although it is really 5 weeks out for me. They were very happy with my progress and my progression in diet. I am pretty much eating regular foods believe it or not....much smaller portions obviously! I am feeling really good. All restrictions were removed, so I can get my butt in the gym! I am super excited!!!

Happy Monday everyone!
The weekly numbers will be a little late this week. I will be posting them tomorrow for a few reasons:
We have some new folks who have joined the thread this past week (WELCOME)!!!!! If you are new and haven't done so, please either post here or send me a private message how many pounds you want to lose during this journey.
Also, I have the day off today and am going to be road tripping to explore some new locations in the morning, and then am having lunch with my sleeve buddy and going to a WLS support group tonight. If I am back at a reasonable time I will try and get the numbers posted, but the support group is about an hour drive away, so I'm not sure what time we'll be back.
Keep those numbers coming...you are all doing a fantastic job!!!

Alrighty folks....ready for some numbers?
So, I adjusted the goal weight pounds because we have about 22 people who haven't ever logged their weight, so I moved them to a different list, and if they come back and start weighing in, I will add them back to the totals.
Currently our total pounds lost GOAL is: 8871
As of this week, we have 71 people reporting (at some time), and have a grand total of 2449.7 pounds lost.
We at about 28% of goal! Congratulations everyone! Keep up the good work!

I think my hardest adjustment was the mental and emotional changes. The physical has been manageable. I actually went back to work 1 week and 2 days later (clinic nurse). It at least helped distract me and get back some sense of normalcy versus OBSESSING over what I could or could not do. I had been on an emotional rollercoaster at times (just like the surgeon told me could possibly happen). I thank God I haven't/didn't use food for comfort like I would have in the past. So far my weightloss is slow and steady (3 weeks post op and still anticipating the dreaded stall though). On average I get in all my Protein and Water with some days slacking a lil on the water. From one day to the next sometimes I was happy then sad, laughing then wanting to cry, hopeful then depressed and full of anxiety, positive then negative, motivated then discouraged...etc. Just an all out pity party of "woe is me"...LOL!!! I had to keep reminding myself why I did this. I realized I have to take control because I determine my success or failure. When I look at old pics, reflect on my numerous past FAILED weight loss attempts since I was a teenager, or see that now some of the jeans/sweats I wore 3 weeks ago now fit a lot looser...I get my a$$ back on track. Reading posts from everyone else also helped keep me going.
Therefore I BEG each of you, as we go back to our "normal lives" and for some return to work, don't forget your December Sleever Family and please stay in touch with your updates or just Hi! THIS HAS BEEN THE BEST SUPPORT GROUP FOR ME!!!! THANKS EVERYONE AND I WISH YOU MUCH SUCCESS!!!!

Loss another 3lbs!
Went to a Denver Broncos Fan Footbal party today at my cousin's house--there was food everywhere--..all the crap I used to stuff my face with like pizza, chips, fried chicken, mac & cheese, hotdogs, Pasta, etc..plus beer and martinis! Thaks to my new buddy (my sleeve) it didn't phase me at all!
Hey has anyone tried the Crystal Light Appletini Water flavor! OMG, it really is delish! My cousin took care of me...I had faux appletinis and grilled chicken legs with garlic spinach with some Protein crisps she found at Whole Foods. Nice crunch. She also sliced up some turkey pepperoni and fat free cheese for me...
I adore her.

All smiles!

It is so wonderful to have this forum, to know that I am not alone through stalls and scale paranoia.
If you are reading this and your weight is stalled, know that I stalled for 14 days. Hang in there, the scale does eventually move.

Hi Karen:
Here's my interpretation of the symbols.
CW= Current weight
SW= Surgery weight
HW= High weight
