I had my sleeve on 12/26 and am doing well. Have lost 47 pounds total; 30 since the surgery. I am on pretty much "regular foods" now, just no starches, raw veggies or red meats. I am hoping to be cleared next week for the gym. I have been stalled for about 2 weeks and just can't seem to move the scale no matter what I try but I have heard that is quite common. Would love to hear any ideas (also am diabetic).

Hi pianomom.
Do you walk? My surgery was also in December and I kinda stalled for about a week too. I loose about 1/3 to 1/2 lb a day, that is until this past week. My husband had back surgery and I was in the hospital with him all week, sitting on my butt drinking cranberry juice. I did not take care of me at all. But we came home yesterday, today I got up dusted myself off and started back up again. Don't let the negative thoughts bring you down or set you back. Keep in mind that you have lost 47 total and you are well on your way to healthy.
Good luck!
Laurie
