June 2014 Sleevers Check In!

[Nina51 21]

I was sleeved 6/24/14 and down 23 pounds. Had to hide the scale this week it was making me depressed. Weight loss has stalled. Ihad no problems with surgery or with any phases. Getting ready to start soft foods. My problem is getting in enough calories. I struggle to hit 500 calories. With only 1/4 - 1/2 cup food that isn't many calories no matter what you eat. I do 1 shake and about 48 oz of Water.< /p>

Nina51, I was sleeved June 25. I am down 23# and stalled also. Keep your chin up. We will get there. Everyone else has, and we're no different.

I've stalled as well.....been at the same weight for two weeks. I eat applesauce or yogurt for Breakfast, have two Premier Protein shakes for60 grams Protein and drink Water and gatorade. Everyone is saying I need to eat more but I'm sick and tired of Soup an just don't have a desire to eat. I'm getting down about it.....so much so that I haven't walked for the past 4 days. Trying to overcome and get back to being positive. I grabbed some green Beans and a lean piece of grilled chicken to take to work today.....I hope I can eat a little bit of it.

I am right there also. I have one more week if soft foods and I'm struggling to get thru it. Never thought it would be so hard. I have to keep reminding myself it will be worth it in the end. I hoping to give myself a jump start this weekend to get back on track.

I'm still on soft foods as well and there isnt a lot of choices. I'm hoping I can eat the chicken. I plan to chew it 100+ times before swallowing. The greens Beans are fine, I ate some a week ago.

Curious what calorie intake others are having. I was sleeved 6/19 and am running in the 700 - 900 range. I am losing weight but it is slowing down. It was pretty crazy there for awhile around a pound a day.

That's the range I'm in too and I was sleeved on 6/18. My weight has been stalled for almost 2 weeks now. So frustrating!

Just curious how much people have lost. End of July is coming up soon! I was sleeved June 25, at 245lbs and 4weeks 4days later I'm flown 215lbs. A 30 pound change! I'm Shocked!! Perhaps vacation helped, my doc gave me the ok to swim and first thing I did was book a ticket to the reef house and snorkeled several hours a day.

I've lost 25 pounds. Sleeved on 6/18. I have been stalled for 2 weeks now. I am disappointed because I thought I would have lost more by now. Any suggestions on how to break a stall?

I've lost 57 lbs. sleeved on June 11. Weight loss has been slowing down but that is likely to the fact that I have not exercised. Started at 435 lbs and still not light enough for working out "back issues", Getting between 700-900 calories and 60 - 70 grams of Protein daily. Still struggling with Fluid intake, but fighting the good fight. I weigh myself once per week ever since I had several days of weight gain and felt depressed. Overall I have had great success with weekly weigh ins. Good Luck All!

Sleeved June 19 and was 291. I am now 257. 34 pounds in 40 days. It is slowing down now though I have noticed.

I am at the point that I think this is where I am going to stay. I am past two weeks of stalled weight loss and still nothing! Weigh the same every single darn day! Maybe 198 is my set point at that is is for me. No matter how little or much I eat.... Still at 198! Low carb, good Protein, walk over 10,000 steps each day, drinking required water..... Etc etc etc. So depressed and frustrated. Only lost 28 lbs total so far and 6 of that was preop!

From what I have read it is normal to have a big stall once you hit onederland! Keep it up, you are doing what you are supposed to. I bet if you keep going the numbers will change. Try giving yourself a jump start, do a couple days with two Protein Drinks and one lean protein. You'll get there. The less you have to lose the slower it comes off, you're doing good! Keep going, don't give up!

What a great group this is! And....some of us are in the season of venting. I'M ONE OF THEM!!!

June 18. Down 28#. And yeah, okay, I KNOW that's a lot to lose, but I HAVEN'T LOST A POUND IN, LIKE, A MILLION DAYS. Okay, at least 7 days. WTF?

I do NOT do well when I cannot see a relationship between EFFORT and REWARD. I've been putting in the EFFORT (until today--see WTF above), when it's like, um, let's see, I'm drinking this Water, walking in the park, chucking down 65 gms of protein...why?????

My incisions are TINY. I had almost NO pain. I can drink 4 swallows before my body says whoa. In other words, DID I REALLY HAVE THIS SURGERY--or did the surgery schedule get just a tiny bit tangled that day?

I AM NOT HAPPY.... :-( (thanks for letting me vent....)

I was sleeved on 6/24 and I have lost 37 lbs since surgery. Although 12 pounds were lost pre-pounds on the liquid diet. My incisions healed well and I have not been sick since I came home from the hospital.

I am now able to eat solid foods like chicken and fish. I also got cleared to return to the gym recently. My blood pressure is lower and I am no longer snoring. So that is definitely a plus.

I am so sorry to hear the trouble everybody has been having. However, those who have stalled have you seen a difference in your clothes? I was able to get an XL on the other day whwn I used to have a hard time wearing a 3XL. Be encouraged it will get better.
