Hello, everyone! I was sleeved in December and have lost 50 pounds since then. I'm proud of what I've accomplished, but feel like I'm losing so slowly. I do everything I'm supposed to do when it comes to diet and exercise, but my stalls last for weeks at a time and I'm now feeling very discouraged and depressed. Any words of wisdom for me? I'd also love to hear success stories from those who started in the 320-330 range and are now in Onederland! Please help perk up my Saturday night, fellow sleevers! Thanks!

I am January and close to your loss total. The good thing for us is our skin. Losing slower allows it to keep up. Good luck!

You are losing at about the same rate I did. As you can see in my signature, I have reached and passed my goal.

I broke several stalls with extended walking. I went on vacation and walked in theme parks every day. Water, Vitamins, Fiber, and even eating a bit more can bust through stalls.

I was sleeved in Dec & lost about 50 lbs! May be slow....but it's 50 lbs I would never have lost without it! So as long as the scale is moving in the right direction...I am Happy!!

I have been in a really long stall (3 weeks so far). I know it will break soon so I'm hanging in there you will be fine ;)

Sleeved at the end of March - lost 27 in the first 3 weeks and then hit the dreaded stall... Just broke through by upping my calories and my exercise - down another 7 in the past two weeks. It will happen!! :)

      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.
