Well by the end of last week I lost those two pounds. I think I may stall or lose slow over the nest couple of weeks before my secret weapon arrives. Also, my PCP doc is having me come in for some testing. I may have low T. If so she may prescribe a topical treatment. That will hyper-accelerate fat loss but preserve all of my lbm. I'll wait on that because I don't really want 240lb of lean mass.

I hit my three-week stall. Actually gained two pounds. Not even discouraged. I may lose those by weeks end. No pun intended but I'm looking at the big picture. In time I'll be right where I need to be.

I'm okay... tired!! Been working too many extra hours at work for the last 3 weeks... I need to go eat!!!

Oh I do! Do you know why they make this 6 week liquids

Did ya bust through your stall? I figure if there ever is a stall revert to a full liquid diet for a couple of days and see if that kick-starts some more losing! Keep up turning your Wishes into Reality!!!

Hey cass! my psych eval isn't until october 18, lk a week after my 5 month appt, im sure it'll be here before i knw it. after my psych appt i only have one more appt left and then i send everything in. im so excited!!!! the dctr im going to c is Janelle Coughlin, she's at Bayview. so it's like 5 minutes from my house. ashley told me about the nightmare of them not sending in your paperwork late!

How are you doing?

I am feeling so much better. Today is one week for me! I had my drain removed today and I have lost 5 more lbs!

I saw you post about a 3 to 5 week stall. thats me right now. freaking out... glad to hear its normal though. Can you tell me about how many calories you intake a day? I am trying to make sure I am doing everything right. : ) thanks.

hey sweets.. I am wondering whats ur egg salad recipe? still a week for more till I get there but I am collecting reciepies:)

Hi there! How did your six week appointment go with Dr. Pop? I was curious as to what kinds of pre-op testing Barix required you to do? I've been reading around on here and everyones experiences vary so much. Thanks and hope you're doing great!

Sorry about your 2 week stall :c but it's over now! and you lost a great amount for the time period. Congratulations!

Hey :-)

I am doing fine. I've been stalled for almost a couple of weeks now, but I've been doing a lot of strength training on my total gym and the inches are melting off (50 inches lost so far)!!! You are doing really GREAT :-)

I was off work for two weeks. I felt well enough to go back sooner, but my doctor didn't want me to go back for three weeks. We compromised at two. I work a desk job, so I was only allowed back with the understanding that I wouldn't do any lifting.

This is the BEST THING I've ever done!!! I've lost 47 lbs. and would do it again in a heartbeat!

I read somewhere not to worry so much about protein the first week, just stay hydrated. I have been drinking water, crystal light, hot herbal tea and trying to get a little protein in with Protidiet Hot Cocoa and Premier Choc Shake. Hang in there - I'm sure every day will get a little easier. I have an appointment with Dr. Hoehn on Wednesday at 1:30. When do you see him?

WOW!!! You are doing FANTASTIC! I am having mine doen in two weeks I can't wait

Second week post-op and I havent lost any weight this week

Think im in my first stall, scale is STUCK. Gonna use it for gym motivation and make some lemonade.

almost 3 weeks out and I want to eat cheese sticks----when did you have them?

Been busy this week!!! Missed you all

2 week stall followed by a 9.6 lb loss in a week! I'll take that!!!

Started at 289 lbs., On surgery day was 274 lbs., 1 week out from surgery down to 264 lbs....YAY!!

Just starting week 8 of 12 of the Options program at Kaiser. Time is flying and the weight loss is slow but steady. I feel great.

8 weeks of no chewing starts tomorrow. 2 week pre-op liquid diet begins and then the big day!

I had the Super Sleeve done 2 weeks ago and I'm doing good...but I can't eat soilds yet...
