I have had like three or four stalls

I work out 2-3 days a week

It's hard to say without you posting what you are eating. What does an honest typical day look like? OR even the not typical days? What is your protein/fat/carb intake? Calorie intake? You haven't given enough information for us to offer suggestions.

Check out "Don't sweat the stall stuff"

lots of helpful answers. I had my sleeve in Feb. and have only lost 50lbs seems slow compared to many others, but physical limitations limit the kind of exercise I can do, but I have noticed I have more endurance since the weight loss.

I was sleeved on 2/3 and have lost 50. Some of us are just slower. I do admit I could exercise more, but it doesn't seem to matter when I do.

I was sleeved January 22nd and I'm 58lbs down. It was more difficult for me to get a grip on controlling my head hunger at first. Now it's getting easier everyday and I'm shrinking. I'm 178 the last three weeks. :)

I'd say "slow" is relative, you're losing about 10 lbs./month, that's 120 lbs/year! We knew this wasn't a magic pill when we got into it, right? Have some patience, stay on your program and work with your sleeve and let it help you get to your goal. Sounds like you're doing the right things.
