Glad I am not the only one, I have been so tired this week and yes also getting upset very easy over little things.

But I would not change it.

Sleeved on 9-18-14. I have lost 30 lbs and Thursday 10-2-14 was the first day I didn't have to go back to bed all day. I think it is because I had 2 tablespoons of pureed chicken. I boiled a fresh peach, added chicken then put it in the food processor. It was delicious.

Well I am experiencing the week 2/3 stall! No weight gained or lost. I know it's part of the process but still disheartening.

Anyone else experiencing this?

Not yet....but trying to prepare myself for when it happens...try only weighing yourself maybe twice a month so maybe you will never see another stall...this to shall pass!

I'm experiencing a stall too. I read how much others are losing and I've only lost 12lbs post surgery and I'm not cheating. I lost more in less time prior to surgery.

2morrow is 3 weeks sleeved foe me

I went back to work last Monday n it's been hard cause I'm very tired everyday. I work in sales n had to go back on the road. The upside is I'm down 36 lbs total from 2 week preop diet. The loss has def slowed down when I switch to purées but is still coming off. What is everyone doing for energy? I have a bad ankle and walking for exercise after working all day is still too painful.

Hi! My surgery was September 17th and i have lost 10 lbs.. Was wondering if it should be more? I have it in my mind that this isn't going to work for me! Is that crazy to think that way? I definitely feel like I'm in a stall. Starting weight 212. And I'm a 43 yo female.

I think at some time we all think this but think positive...we are all different and will all drop weight differently....I was September 15 and have dropped 15 pounds...but i will take it...15 lbs gone and not gained! :)

Sleeved 15 September, dropped about 22lbs since then but it looks like I've also hit the 3 week stall. Not too discouraged as it's coincided with moving to pureed foods and walking 2 1/2 miles to work each day so I suspect (hope) it's partly adding muscle from exercise while still losing fat. My clothes are still feeling looser.

      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.
