It could be my sweet tooth, because I exercise and eat healthy.. Everyday! I just like my sweets too!

No I just eat my protein No I just eat my protein

I exercise now about 4 times a week.. It's funny I feel like I don't know what to do anymore.. I feel lost.. I need to pack away the scale and not think about it for a week or more!

I'm sorry, but yea I haven't loss one pound in over 2 months.. The positive is I haven't gained a pound either!

Hello August sleevers! I now want to tell my story! August 2009 I got real sick. I kept having un-resolving Pneumonia. I was admitted into the hospital and the ICU. After two lung biopsies and a 3 month awesome stay at Sutter Medical Hospital, I was finally given the cause of my vacation! I was diagnosed with Sarcoidosis.. I was put on steroids for 6 months and went from 155 to 260 in 4 in a half months. I was chronically depressed. Overnight I couldn't fit any of my own clothes. I had to wear my husbands sweats until I was able to buy clothes. I never had to exercise or diet before so I didn't know how. I never had problems with weight or food.. That is not my story. I felt more helpless and hopeless than anyone. I couldn't think about diets for 2 years. I was on oxygen breathing at 67%. I had to use a walker all over again because of lying in a hospital bed for months! But don't feel bad for me I had a pimp out walker.. The first time I approached weight loss surgery I was denied twice. No surgeon would touch me.. They were concerned with my lungs. So I went diet crazy! I paid over thousands in the newest and fastest fad.. Nothing worked! I hated my life! To add insult to injury my doctors tell me I need to lose the weight because it as affecting my breathing.. And of course I have a sarcastic brain so I told them with a smile, "You gave me a pill to gain the weight now give me a pill to lose the weight!" So then my husband was transferred to Az. And to my surprise I found a doctor that was willing to perform weight loss surgery! I was scheduled August 28th 2013 and it was a success! I loss a total of 67lbs but been at a stall for the past 2 months! This sucks! But I have faith that I will get to my goal..

911 Help! I have hit a stall now for 2 months.. And yes I eat everything but in moderation, my sleeve works very well! I need help getting back on tract I don't know what to do? The good part is that I haven't gained any weight! I just haven't loss any either.. Your thoughts would be most appreciated..

Me too! I have been so sad because I Plato so bad..

Surgery date: August 28th 2014.. HW: 260 SW: 247 CW: 196 Total loss 64lbs.. I'm loosing slow but I am loosing! I average about 5lbs a month! I like how I am loosing because it is giving my body the chance to adjust with the weight loss! I have not loss any hair because I take hair vitamins and drink protein shakes still, two issues I have, 1) flabby skin on my arms and stomach.. 2) I feel like I'm loosing everywhere else besides my hips and but! Any whoo I'm thankful! I have 56 more pounds to go for my goal weight of 140.. I will get there!

Your hair fall out or thin because the body is lacking protein, so it start pulling it from the hair and nails.. You have to keep up with your protein intake! 60-70 grams of protein a day!

Welcome Cynthia, I do wish you all success! I'm sure you would be just fine!

So how have the HCG worked out for you? I was really thinking of doing it myself I am 5 months post opt and my but and hips are still huge, but I'm small at top! I want my weight loss to be even!

Merry Christmas to all my brothers and sisters who are and will be sleevers! Happy Holidays!
