[ferraroma 22]

Mine was the same day and I have been at a stall for a while I do seem to be loosing inches at least

I was the 14 th as well. 2 weeks in a stall. Started upping Protein and Water. Will see what happens.

11/27 here,,, down 30, mostly in 1st two weeks. Maybe 4 lbs in week 3. I think it normal. Stay the course,, it will all be fine.

I was sleeved on Nov 12th... And have lost 25 pds... I weighted 240 the day of surgery, 215 now. My highest was 310 so I have come a long way

When I had my surgery I was at a weightloss stall...

During the first two weeks I quickly lost 20... And since then only 5 :/

I was stuck on a stall again... But slowly I've dropped a pound here and there.

I am really trying to drink Water and I just started working out but I am sooooo weak.

Eventhough I feel that am not lossing fast enough in terms of pounds... I do think inches are coming off... I can see and feel the difference.

Compliments are an ego boost too

Sleeved nov 16th. Had some internal bleeding & need multiple blood transfusions& had to take Iron post-op(-->constant abdominal pain& burning from iron).

Highest wt 245, day of surgery 226lbs. Now at 205lbs. Starting period. I had a 2 wk stall at 210 then was able to drink more& went from 500 cal to 650 to get body out of starvation mode. Walk 30 min a day. I'm a slow loser, but at least I got some wt off.

I hope you are doing better. I was sleeved on November 27th and I could not keep anything down. Turned our my sleeve was inside my hernia that was repaired. Recover has been rough. Glad you are walking. Planning on adding it next week.

I had my 6 wk post op appt today (surgery on 11-5) & have lost 32lbs. I had a stall when I started eating solid foods at week 4 and in week 5 I pumped up my Water intake big time... 100 oz. The increased water intake worked & dropped 5lbs in week 5. I'm excited to see where I am next month, in 3 months, 6 months, etc.... I'm loving my sleeve!

My first food test was this past weekend at a party & food was EVERYWHERE! I didn't deny myself of anything but I only chose foods that I thought would taste good. I would take ONE small bite and throw the rest away. If it didn't taste wonderful, I spit it out (it wasn't worthy of filling up my tummy). I only had one small bite of whatever I wanted & surprisingly, I only tried 5-6 things & didn't swallow each item I tried. It worked well!

My surgery was 11/8. Lost 12 the first week, and then didn't weigh again until 3 weeks out. In the 2nd and 3rd week I only lost 5 lbs total, and definitely felt I had stalled. I was really dreaming out about it. Then I started soft foods and two weeks later lost 10 more lbs. I think the stall has a lot to do with your body adjusting to a limited liquid diet. When I introduced food, my energy increased and I think it jump started my metabolism again. I still struggle with Protein and liquids, but do my best. I also have hypothyroidism, which doesn't help in the weight loss process...

Freaking out *

And my pre-surgery weight was 337. After five weeks I'm at 310. So excited to finally be in the 200s for the first time since high school!

Hi! I was thinking, if your feeling weak, maybe check to make sure you have enough Iron and B12. I was feeling the same way and turned out I was deficient in B12. Hope you feel better!

I was sleeved on Nov. 6th and I had a stall for 2 weeks. Weeks 4 & 5. Now in week 6 I have lost 4 lbs. hope that helps!

I was on the 6th as well. I had a stall for weeks 4 & 5. I am on week 6 and lost 4lbs as well. I cut my workout from 5 days to 3 and increased calories a little.

It may nt b weight coming off nah just inches and believe it shows more than weight!

Your doing a lot of Protein shots....try eating more meat protein verses the shots and if your working out you might need to up your calories a little

I was sleeved 11-27 I was 240 at surgery and went to my followup appointment and was 227. It has been two weeks since that follow up appointment and know I am 223. I just started blended food today but before I have been on liquids about less than 600 calories a day. My friends keep telling that it is just temp that my body is adjusting. So I will just go with that. I am trying to increase my walking time to help.

It is temp, I average 2lbs a week and that's normal. If you loose to fast you'll have more flab. You didn't put it on in one day so please take your time taking it off.
