How is everyone doing? I'm fine, lost 2 lbs this week, so I'm happy for a total of 36 since 3/8/13.... Kinda slow, but that's ok :)

Total loss 52lbs.

40 since surgery 3/18.

I am slow at losing also. I kind of yoyo. Up 2, down 1, down 2, up 1 and so on.

I also stalled frim week 3 to week 5 & again week 8-9.

But its coming off and thats what I try to focus on.

Try being the operative word, lol!

I am also a slow loser. Surgery was 3/11/13 and was 245 now I'm 208. Was hoping to be under 200 by now but its not meant to be. Went to my dr who thinks I'm not trying hard enough! I guess I'm not in her eyes, however my NUT says I'm right on track. I will try better by limiting carbs and doing more protein!

I don't know if I'm a slow or fast looser. I don't really care. Surg 3-19-13 start at 237 now I'm at 188. Training now for a 10k run in the fall. Exercise is the main thing for me. I eat the way the Dr. says. And I exercise at least 3 days a week for no less than 30 min EVER!! Today I burned 378 cal. ALL cardio. My goal weight is 170. Oh and if I want something sweet I eat it. Not a lot but I eat it. It's all about moderation. "something I never even thought if before" I still battle the fat guy I use to be but I'm kicking his ass every time now! Good luck and DO NOT GIVE UP!

I'm so glad to hear every one is doing so well. My pre-surgery weight was 215. I was sleeved on 3/7 and I'm down to 163 lbs. I watch what I eat but exercise seems to be key for me. I exercise about 6-7 days a week. But some times if I feel the urge for some ice cream I do have a little to get over the craving and then I'm satisfied. Or some times I may eat a piece I fruit to satisfy my sweet tooth. I think we are all doing a great job and we will all get there eventually.

Still in the midst of a 6 week stall. Nut and doc assure me it HAS to come off. We'll see.

Good luck! I was in a 4 wk stall and it about drove me nuts!!

Stalls are the worst! I stalled the whole month of April!! Was so depressed, but got jumpstarted again by dropping my carbs...

Sneezing? Do you ever sneeze in a frenzy when you eat or either hiccup? Anyone know the reasons for this?

I wouldn't resort to gimmicks' date=' but just eat the way you are supposed to. Eat whole foods, Protein first, and work out with some kind of really difficult strength training 3X each week. Them, be happy with 1-2 pounds per week. We really both need to get away from daily weighing I think, because we both know deep down that you just can't physiologically lose a pound of fat day after day. I think the initial spectacular results of the sleeve kind of blind us to the fact that even starving, or fasting people can't lose a pound a day for very long. It's just not sustainable.

This might be the best thing I've read in here EVER! I've actually considered going back to HCG. I could eat even LESS and lose MORE. Then I decided that it is all bull. I'm going to eat normal healthy food and enjoy my slow (about 2 pounds a week) losses. Learning to live a non-obsessive food life and LOVING it!

I'm a slow loser too, but I am consistently losibg 2lbs a week. Pre-op 233, SW 218, CW 184. Surgery date was 3/18.

I don't know how to boost my loss. I just want to lose a consistent 10 mobth

      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.
