I'll give you more! I am almost 4 weeks out and have only lost 6 pounds so it could be a lot worse.

It is so discouraging. Are you a low weight? If so, that could be why you are loosing slower.

A BIG HELLO to all of my April SLEEVERS!!! I hope all of you are doing well! I am 7 wks out & have lost 28 lbs. I was expecting more by this point. I am struggling somewhat with my eating habits. I want to snack' date=' which is a big no, no! Got to get it under control! Going to the beach in July & I REALLY want to loose 15 more lbs by then! Wish me luck! [/quote']

I'm 7 weeks out as well and am only down 28lbs. I follow the diet and exercise every day for an hour. I just think that losing slowly, I will have less sagging skin and I will also decrease my chances of losing my hair.

Down 42 lbs. since date of surgery 4/2/12... and I do what I want! I dish out bold flavor and bust power moves! No seriously, I just eat Protein Shakes, wendy's chili, a grilled chicken leg here and there. Boar's Head OvenGold turkey breast and lacey swiss cheese (I roll them together)- I walk 2 miles at lunch at a local park, work out on the ellptical at home. One thing I did during a stall was have two snack size bags of lays potato chips, it blew me up but got rid of so much GUNK in my stomach- I lost 5 lbs the next day! food for thought....best of luck to all you fellow april sleevers....

Down 19.5 - sleeved on 4/24- I'm happy with that--- just started treadmill 30 mins a day walking with a 4.0 incline so I'm interested to see how that impacts my losing. I'm worried what will happen when I start introducing more regular foods - I'm hoping it doesnt slow things down- but if I stay at 1-2 lbs per week, I'm thrilled with that!

Sleeved on 4/30 and down 6 pounds since surgery. I've been the same for almost 3 weeks but I found a great thread on another site that talks about the "dreaded 4-6 week post op stall" and it made me feel 100% better. I think I am going to post something about this in a separate place for people experiencing this. I was in another forum and 2 or 3 people suggested something was wrong with me or rather that I might not be doing something right because they thought my weight loss was so low. But now I know it is normal for some people to experience this. Good luck fellow April sleevers! :)

PS. I tried to place a link to the site and got an error message saying the administrator does not allow it. Ridiculous. Anyway, if anyone is interested you can do a Google search for "vertical sleeve weight loss stall" and the first thing that comes up has something underneath that says "stall after 2 weeks"? If you click on that you can see several things and it directs you to another place also. Worth the visit. Or it was for me.

I had surgery the same day and down 40 lbs! It's amazing how good I feel. I still struggle as well with Protein and Water. Everyday I do a little better but it's so hard when I'm full! I need to exercise more too! Sounds like we r. Both going thru the same thing! Best of luck!
