I was sleeved on Feb 18th...I lost 18lbs so far, but it seemed to have stopped. I'm doing everything I'm supposed to 500-600 cal/ day. Anyone experiencing the same thing??

Do a search for week 3 stall and you'll find that having a stall about... 3 weeks after surgery is pretty common.

Sleeved on 2/19. Lost 12lbs as of first appt. last week and 25lbs overall. Scheduled to weigh in tomorrow but am a little nervous, as I am on week 3 now.

Yep, my stall started week 3 and lasted for three weeks. It happens. Just keep following your doctor's guidelines and your body will pick up again with the weight loss. :) Stalls are for your body to catch up with everything. (It helps to keep a positive spin on them because otherwise they will drive you insane.)

This is so common that you will be laughing at yourself for ever posting this once you are a little further out. This question is asked almost daily.

      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.
