 I have lost 23 pounds since surgery with my preop diet it makes a total of 46 pounds. I was hoping to lose at least 30 lbs this first month so a lil bummed. I'm trying to keep it in perspective and be positive but wondering how to keep pushing forward. I have been stuck at this number for 2 weeks now. I eat on egg for breakfast. Lunch is a shake and dinner is chicken salad or tuna salad 4 oz. My snack is usuallly a sugar free popsicle. I just started at the gym this week and feel really good. How are others sleeved in or around April doing? Whatcha eating? About how much?

You're doing great! Exercise may help your scale to move.

Same here, I have hit a stall for my 3rd week post op.

I kep thinking it's been my eating, but habits haven't changed since I started mushies. Exercise is the same as well. Folks say once I start going back to gym and eating regular foods (more sensed proetein) change will come. So I am not too worried. 20lbs. Down since surgery date

As of last Wednesday (3 weeks), I have lost 25 lbs. I think it depends on your starting weight too.

I have something on June 11 and I need to get into a suit that I currently have and is too tight to pull off right now. I am going to have to get in a regular excercise routine and get into that outfit! I don't want to spend 100 on something I will only wear once!

I am 33lbs down ( including pre-op weight loss).  You are doing better than me.  The scale just starting moving again after a 3 week stall!  I fuger as long as the scale moves in the right direction I'm doing okay.  I'm trying not to think of this whole thing as a race.  If I just keep doing what I'm doing the weight will come off eventually.

 Thank you for chiming in  guys! It helps to hear where people that got sleeved around my date are at. I will up protein this week , drink more water, and exercise.  I'll check in to see if that shakes things up. What stage of the diet are you in?
