2 month update
Soooooo 8 weeks today I was sleeved. I can't believe its been that long. I meant to take measurements but didn't get around to it...I work in insurance and it is the insanely busy season...So I'll just give a quick update.
I am officially down 30 lbs, 24 since surgery. I am a slow loser apparently whatever. I am losing though however so I'm not going to let losing slow get me down, just going to work my tool the best way I can.
I'm able to eat most thing now...although I stick to proteins first in all feedings, that leaves very little room for anything else. I have finally found a protein I like I take the Nectar chocolate truffle and mix with silk almond light milk and a tablspoon of instant coffee and blend with ice!!!! YUMMO just like a frappuccino, I even got light whipped cream 10 calories and 1 carb and this 'indulgence' turns it into a treat instead of a chore. So I get all my fluids in and all my protein EVERY day now.
I hit a stall at 2.5 weeks that lasted 3.5 weeks and nearly drove me mad, but I upped my fluid and protein and it has broke, now I am steady losing about a lb every 3 days, which hey it is what it is. But I know I'm doing what i need to do to be sucsessful. I've just been riding my exercise bike at night for cardio and I know I have to up that but at least I'm moving everyday. I'm thinking of taking up boxing!

Thanks for posting your update. I typically am a slow loser as well. I am only 3 weeks out from my surgery today. I lost 19.5 lbs from when I left the hospital, in the first 2 weeks. For the last week I have not lost a pound. Frustrating....but I KNOW that my body will eventually have to start losing since I am only eating 800 calories a day. I think some of my problem is that I'm not getting enough fluids in. I am working on it. Just realized a few days ago that I was having reflux. I added Prevacid at night and was already taking Nexium in the AM. The night dose has made a huge difference and am now working at getting in 64 ounces of water a day (haven't made it yet, but working on it). Knowing your experience with a stall so early, gives me hope that the weight will eventually make it's way off my hips.
Keep going on your journey! Your persistance will pay off!

Congrats to you! I am a slow loser too! I have lost about 42 lbs in about 2 months. My Dr. says I should have lost more but as long as i am losing I am content. Good luck!

Hey Stacey,
If it's any consolation I'm losing slower than you. i may be the slowest loser on the board which is stunning to me on an hourly basis but it is what it is and maybe it will change. i charted other posters who started off and my weight and who were admitted slow losers and they still for the most part made their goals by 6-7 months, so I'm hopeful, well really what else can i be i got the package i got. i did stop weighing, that was bothering me more than the lack of loss, so now i weigh at the Dr's office. hang in there. Eating my bufffalo chicken salad as i speak.
