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.

      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.
