55lbs in 4 months is TERRIFIC. ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! Your brain must be behind in catching onto that!!!!! Remember your body has to catch up to the fast weight loss. If you feel you are honestly doing everything right (exercising, eating the things, using your sleeve, tracking your food, getting in your water), then just keep doing it! Consistency despite slowed or stalled weight loss is key! Don't beat yourself up over it. Don't obsess over the number on the scale. Trust your sleeve to do what is meant to. Take measurements, your body might be reconfiguring itself and while your weight isn't dropping, it's redistributing or the gym is creating some new muscle. There are a lot of things that could be going on. It would probably be helpful to have more information to maybe pinpoint some new options to try!

I had surgery March 19th & I am down 56 lbs. yes I want to lose more, but if we lost it any faster it wouldn't be good on our bodies. Keep up the good work!

I had my sleeve surgery 5 month ago as well and I've lost 48 lbs. I went 2 weeks with no weight loss back in June. I was freaking out at the thought of having plateaued so soon. But, i kept doing the right things. Soon after the weight loss resumed. My weight loss has been gradual. Maybe more so than most. Everyones body is different. As long as i keep losing I will forever be grateful for this procedure. Im sure that you will start losing again. Give yourself some time. Gradual weightloss does have some advantages. I've been able to maintain much more of my skins elasticity and I'm in my mid-forties.

Sometimes you can break a stall by having a higher calorie day or treat to "trick" the body. The next few days, weight starts coming off again.

I agree with Dez with have a trick the body day. Also check and really count your Protein just when you think you are getting enough you just might not be. I was at a stall for a very long time and had to go on what I call a protein binge and eat nothing but protein all day for a few days kicked in and I dropped 8lbs that week.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
