Usually when people post as you did, they are eating more than they realize. Are you logging your food into once of the sites (sparkpeople, etc) and following your surgeons food plan? If not, then why not start checking to see how many calories, carbs and grams of protein you are getting every day. Also, are you exercising to help burn calories?

No wisdom but I can comiserate. I was sleeved 6 days after you started at the same weight and I just got off of an over 1 month stall at nearly the same weight. I was 205-206 for over 30 days and lost 2 lbs this week. God only knows how long I'll stay at this weight. It stinks but it at least we are not gaining. The good thing for me is though, people have really just recently been noticing my weight loss so my body must be changing a bit even if the scale realy isn't.

Hey Dusty...

Sleeved the same day as you and having the same problem(s) as you . Doing the up and down on the scale thing and the only thing lost is my hair.

HI there Lala been awhile... Glad to hear from you.. Its been one crazy ride so far.. This hair thing is really disturbing me.. Dont know how much more I can loose dont have much left.. I am taking all kinds of Vitiamins.. Biotin and a few other things. Nothing helps it stop. Hope in time it will grow back well at least some of it back. And as far as the up and down weight its so crazy. Not sure why its stalling as much.. I have noticed that I can eat more then I was so I am guessing that is part of it.. Oh well just have to see what happens I guess..

I am hanging in there with ya hon : )
