I am a month out and I have lost 30 lbs but I've been stuck on this weight for like 2 weeks. When I weight myself i either a pound more or a pound less. This is very frustrating. Am I going to lose more weight? Is this a stall? I don't know! Please help!

Jennifer, I am 3 days out so obviously this only advice.......but from what I read stalls are real and your body is going through a transformation. Please try to be a little patience and I am sure it will move again. Also try measuring yourself....lots of subscribers says that is where the change happens.....good luck...30 lbs in a month...that is pretty awesome!!!

Very few of us lose in a steady downward direction. We lose in a stairstep fashion. These are major changes for our bodies and all our systems need a chance to adjust. You know what youre eating and you know you will lose. Be confident and stay the course.

I haven't been sleeved too long, but I try to stay away from the scale. It's discouraging when you don't see it move. It's really hard when the hubby asked if I weighed myself today. I know I've lost a couple of pounds, but am waiting until my first post-op appt on Monday to get the "official" weight from my doctor. :rolleyes:

Just keep working your sleeve and exercising and you'll continue to lose. I'm making sure I walk at least 3 miles a day and getting in at least 8 glasses of Water. I'm managing 8-10 a day now.

Thank you everyone for the suggestion and advice. I know I'm eating good so there will not be a problem and I am just on a stall. I will let you know when my scale starts moving

      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.
