Lucy 0 Posted July 21, 2010 I wanted to share some hope for people who might be frustrated. There are many people who have the sleeve who did not have as much weight to lose as others. Like myself. I started at 221 did the two week pre op diet and was down to 209...Today I am at 176. 175 in the am. I was stuck for 4 weeks at 181-183. I was very upset. I started wondering if I had messed up. Was this it? Then all of the sudden I stepped on the scale and there it was 179. Two days later 177 and today two more days later 176. I did increase my Protein with a Meal Replacement. The Bariatric Advantage. I cannot stand anything else. Makes me physicaly ill. I have been attending weight loss meetings but am the only sleever. It still helps. I guess the point is don't give up and don't start eating poorly when you stall. If you do,it is sabotage. Keep at the protein and remember your body needs time to play catch up. I am so excited to see the move. I look forward to reaching my goal by October. If anyone wants someone to report to and has a similar goal/time frame I would be happy to help.. I have my 20 year reunion. I will make my goal..Thanks to everyone who shares and posts such supportive information. You are a large part of the success.

Bit of a Diva 0 Posted July 21, 2010 This is really inspiring to someone like me who has been in a stall for almost 3 weeks now. If feels like it's been forever since I've lost anything and I couldn't be more frustrated. You shown me there a light at the end of the tunnel. Thanks and congrats on your success!

brittu 42 Posted July 21, 2010 Thanks for sharing. I had surgery on June 8th and lost 22 pounds in less than 4 weeks and then nothing. If I can just get past this first stall I'll get it in my head that this works and be fine. When I had the band I don't remember stalls bugging me so I don't know why I'm frustrated this time around. I want that dumb scale to stop saying 208.2 every dang morning :-). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
