10 week stall broken! Normal BMI!



Recommended Posts

Hi my fellow sleevers. I don't post here often enough anymore but I get so much support and motivation here. I'm hoping this will give encouragement to someone who needs it. I was sleeved in May 2013. I have spent the last almost three months in a stall and bouncing up and down. Although I felt like giving up I didn't. I stuck with the program. Suddenly in the last ten days, eight pounds fell off putting me at a normal bmi. I have to admit I had started to believe this wouldn't happen. My doc set my goal at 170-177 (still overweight) so when I stalled for so long at about 166 I thought, well I guess that's it. I wasn't done and I'm still not done. I'm now 158 and sky's the limit! My weight loss has gone mostly like this. Long stalls with chunks of loss here and there. I was 240 the day I was sleeved and my highest weight was 268. Good luck to everyone.

i had my surgery in august. can I ask you how much you eat? I am still losing, but slowly! maybe 6 pounds in the past 3 months. I don't feel like I overeat...but it just feels good to talk to others and make sure I am still where I need to be.

Thanks for sharing. I had surgery last February and am within 10 pounds of my goal. Over the past 2 months I've been gaining and losing the same 2 pounds. This gives me hope :)

Congrats! Why not post some before/after pics? Those are really encouraging, for when we hit a stall.

Thanks so much for the encouragement. I have been in a 3 week stall and I am currently 8mths out. I'm down to 188 but would love to see 170.

You have revitalized my focus!!

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
