Hi All - sleeved on 12/21 and I am in your same boat. I've basically been the same weight/measurements for going on three weeks now. I think this is my first true "stall." I'm trying to keep a positive attitude and focus on the fact that I've lost 36 lbs since my surgery day and more than 60 since my highest weight. I'm also getting back to tracking my food (I have been slacking there), making sure I'm hitting my Protein and Water goals and working out. I'm hoping this too shall pass. Glad to know its not just me!

HW: 270

SW: 244

CW: 208 (for three weeks now!)

Height 5'9
SW 255
CW 198
Total lost 57

I drink one 30g Protein Shake a day and eat chicken/beef for lunch and dinner. I try to drink my Water but I don't get as much as I need :/ I haven't been exercising either which is something I want to start working on. Compared to everyone's comments, it looks like we're all around the same weight lost amount which is good to know! I only lose about 1 lb a week too.

Has anyone started to experience Hair loss? Mine started about 2-3 weeks ago. I do have a lot of hair and it's long and pretty full (well, it was). It's definitely thinned out now and it's looking pretty dull. I knew it was going to happen. I lost a lot of hair in an unrelated sickness/surgery 7 years ago. I thought I was prepared for it to happen again. It still makes me sad. I'm taking Biotin and using a product by Joico called Clinicure. I had good success with it last time.

Yes, I am losing handfuls of hair every time I Shampoo. I really hope it stops soon...it's a little un-nerving! I also wanted to report that after my three week stall I'm suddenly losing again, currently at 204. I haven't changed much - maybe a little more stringent on carbs, and I have been tracking again. Good to know that stalls DO pass and it doesn't mean weight loss phase is over!

I have not moved an ounce on the scale in over a week and only lost 4 pounds this month.

I'm not hitting my Protein or fluid goals so redoubling my efforts. Also started adding a little carbs into the diet. My plan allows 3meals a day and no snacking which makes protein difficult when all the supplements make me sick.

Still having a hard time eating anything of Protein value. I am weak ... Nothing tastes good but weight loss is going well. Think dehydration has been my main issue Now when I eat or drink my stomach burns 70lbs gone off to a great start, anyone else having food issues?

Hair loss!!
Calorie intake 600-850 per day.
Need to eat more calories and step up Protein to end hair loss
Don't eat any crap that I used to.
Need to add in more exercise, so that I can eat more without slowing progress.
Wish you all much health and success in your journeys.[emoji304]

I got sleeved on 12/30/16 and lost total of 61lbs from my heaviest and 47lbs since my surgery. About a month ago I noticed that my hair started shedding like crazy. I can definitely tell that my hair has thinned out ALOT! I'm so scared it won't come back. I even cut my hair short so I wouldn't see as much hair coming out but it was no help. It is still falling out like there is no tomorrow. I have been taking all my Vitamins but I invested in a Hairmax laser comb which is FDA cleared for improving thinned out hair. I just stated using it about a week ago so I can't tell if it is gonna work or not.
Have you tried anything? Please let me know if you find anything helpful for your Hair loss cause I would like to try it as well.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
