I was sleeved December 11, 2013. The surgeon said it was textbook (I followed the rules to a T), and there have been some panicky moments I the month following, but I know that I made the absolute best decision for myself.
I'm down 44 pounds from when I started the process, and am well on my way to goal. Best wishes to you on your journey!

down 33

In regards to that dreaded stall...at exactly 3 weeks I entered the stall...it finally broke 11 days later. I have read that it can last from just a few days , and I have read someone who is on day 20 and still stalled.
Despite the fact it is frustrating, just know that it WILL end and you will see that scale move!

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 too wish the weight was coming off a little faster but I guess slowly but surely is how I will roll. Either way as long as it comes off, in the end it doesn't matter much and I will take it however it comes.

Don't be discouraged if you have stalled. I stalled for 14 days (during weeks 2 & 3) but the weight is coming off again!! It is just your body trying to protect you from possible starvation/dehydration. Be kind to it. xoxo to all.

WOOHOOO....congratulations and welcome to TWO-derland...your stay will be short and sweet I am sure!
Absolutely claim that half a pound...I'm on day 3 (or 4) of the three week stall, so even if I lost 1/10 of a pound, I would be claiming it!
Yahooo!!!! Way to go!

I added everyone that had their MFP username listed. Eventhough it says you can add by email, it also gives you the option to type in the email or username and send the request. (I did it from my mobile device.) Hope this helps.

Welcome to the stall Sandi....come in and join us...you're among good company! I was sleeved 4 weeks ago today, and today is day 8 of my stall. I feel thankful that I knew ahead of time that this would happen or I would have been really, really upset and frustrated. This too shall pass, and the we'll be right back at the losing!

Keep those numbers coming friends....it's going to be a great total this week (just like every week)

Thanks for the great advice guys!! I decided not to say anything and I'm glad! He didn't comment and I didn't offer. My mom ended up coming over which is awesome. He did eye my plate and portion of food but didn't say anything.
I am definitely getting stronger. I was always scared to talk in groups of people and finding it easier to converse with my son's hockey team parents and my daughter's dance parents as well. Also I'm in University and answered my first question in a class of 75 last week. Feels good to be confident!
Thanks everyone for the support. I can't believe I didn't think of not telling him, like that was even an option! Ha!

My journey is basically a stall with weight loss in between! It has to happen at some point!
