Yes! I am about the same, about 7 pounds in the last 6 weeks. Do you exercise? Are you on MFP? I just went to the Dr today to review my blood workup and all is well. Stopped blood pressure and hormone meds! Down 3 sizes in pants but slow weight loss as of recent.

I was sleeve August 14th....four months today! My total weight loss has been 38 pounds. As I write this my eyes just opened wide when I did the math. The weight loss has been slow about 1-2 pounds a week to two weeks but it sure does add up. I started at 228 and down to 190, I'm 5'4 if that helps. I've also gone from a size 18/20 to a size 16 and starting to use regular XL pants from Aeropostale (the yoga pants and warm dorm pants). I was so excited to have been able to wear that type of clothing. My daughter (12 yrs old) is loving that I'm wearing smaller clothes and can't wait to go shopping together. That's a date I'm looking forward to!

I was sleeved august 6th and I am down 70lbs today! I started at 300. Today I am 230. I stalled for about 5 weeks. All of November and the last week of Oct, but lost 3 pant sizes during that time. It does seem a struggle to drop pounds now. But it is coming off slow but sure.

      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.
