I've lost 18 pounds since I came home from the hospital' date=' I'm now in the 3 week stall I've read so much about.

I'm not hungry at all, which is crazy because the amounts of food I can eat is so small compared to what I used to eat.

I feel great though.[/quote']

Thats awesome and good to know how long does a stall usally last

[nancysimmons21 2]

I was sleeved 12/5' date=' in the beginning I thought I was hungry until I got on an acid reducer (PPI). Other than that not really. If I drink enough, I'm good. I DO get head hunger tho and it's a...well you know...I'm down 46 or so lbs so far

I have no idea, I'm just sticking to the plan and plugging along, it has to stop eventually.

Good luck on your surgery!

Yes! I tried to get an appointment for mid-January, but my surgeon's office checks your insurance requirements first and of course the insurance coordinator was out for the first week of the year, then she had a two week backlog...and then she was just running behind...so I didn't get scheduled until early February. Then my PCP took their sweet time getting info over (fully supportive, just the medical records person said she had 30 days to get the records to them). It's a lot of hurry up and wait while you wait for all the moving parts to do their jobs...someone here told me the most important thing to remember is that this is not important to anyone but you!

I had no complications.... I am now at day 24, saw doctor for first time, have the ok to eat anything I want on monday as long as I can chew it up good. I as hungry the first 2 weeks then it comes and goes a little. I am in a stall on and off, I think I am going to be a very slow loser, but I also am not going total no carb, I eat about 40 to 50 carbs a day, I am so happy to go back to eating healthy, I hate eating canned food, so much sodium.
