I have been stalling for 2-3 weeks too! Or up & down 2-3 lbs. I'm sure it must be Fluid. I'm not eating enough to really gain!! Just keep up the great work! You are doing fantastic!

How is everyone doing?? Lost 120lbs and been stuck here for 3 weeks now. Anemic and super tired wish I felt better so I could exercise and get this scale moving

Darianna, sounds like you are still doing great! What are they doing for your anemia? I hope you feel better soon!!

I hit my original personal goal of 170 this week. Down 106lbs. Part of me wants to lose another 10-15lbs. But I think it's just vanity at this point. I'm never going to be a tiny person. I wear an 11 or a 12 in a shoe!! I am wearing an 8 or 10 in clothes depending on brand. Usually a M in a top. I can wear a S in tshirts like the kids get at school. Who would have ever thought?!? But I feel fantastic. Off all prescription medication. My hair has finally stopped falling out! I still have a hard time getting my Calcium in. Luckily my labs were great at the 6 month follow up. The chewables gag me & I have to take 5 or 6 petites per day. It's hard cause they make me feel sick if I take too many at 1 time. So I put them in my pocket every am & try to space them out throughout the day. I need to get serious about toning up. I definitely have skin issues but not as bad as I had feared. Went on a business trip with my husband last week. First flight since surgery & I was tickled about all the excess seat belt. I was worried about what we had to eat. I'm usually extremely strict about my choices & I STILL weigh everyday (I know it's madness but it is what I do!) Well I had a couple of drinks & a couple of bites of dessert, but otherwise I tried to make good choices. When we got home, I had actually lost a couple of pounds. Granted my husband walked me over half of Chicago!! It felt very freeing to know I could have a small treat occasionally & not completely destroy my progress!

I hit "stalls" regularly. I don't know if it's cause I'm close to a weight that is good for my frame or not. I try not to sweat it. My surgeon never gave me a goal. Part of me would like to get to a normal BMI & part of me doesn't care. I feel healthy & happy & strong!

Best of luck to all my fellow February sleevers!

onlybroomgirl Hi i was sleeved in Feb also, and agreed with you. I feel great and love the new me. i am lazy about working out and thank goodness my skin hanging isnt too bad just under my arms some.. stomach a little but like you not as bad as i expected and control panties help. I can eat most things but turned off by red meats. and a lot of food i use to love just doesnt taste as good as it use to .. my taste has changed a lot.. I really try to stick to my diet but sometimes i just need somethink like ice cream so i found just one tsp and im satisfied before i would have had a big bowl with lots of choc surup on.. I am also off a ton of meds. which is the best think for my pocket book and health. I should have done this years ago. only problem is even though people tell me i look good, when i look in the mirrow i still see the old me..I know i am losing my clothes keep getting bigger and i can but smaller ones. but my head still sees fat me.. strange well keep up the good work and take care.

Hello,

I was sleeved February 3rd and I'm down 90 lbs exactly. I'm 5'9" , started at 252 and am currently 162. I'd like to get down to 150 but I've slowed down alot. I just had blood work down and all my levels are great. I've struggled with some hair loss and have a loos skin issue on my lower stomach. I had that to begin with from my kids and knew it would be a problem area. My stomach is very flat but the skin is loose. I'm going to wait until after the holidays and maybe get a consultation to see what can be done. I wear a 6-8 s-m which is still crazy!! I love the me I am now. I can be the person outwardly that I always held back because of my weight and thinking , they'll call me fat, or I'm too fat to do this our that. I'm healthy. I don't exercise as much as i'd like but i do walk a ridiculous amount

Hi beme, isn t like we have been born again.. the best thing i ever did. and like you weight lose has slowed down a lot. but to me a lose is a lose . keep up the good work.

Don't cry! I have lost the same amount as you. We are just "slow losers". Don't stress and keep watching what you eat and working out. Don't give up and don't cry we all have our own journey at our own pace. We will get there!

face shots. You can't tell the difference when you're going through it. Shocking when you do a comparison.
