I'm right there with you. Was really hoping for a faster rate of loss in first 6 months but I have only lost 70 pounds and I am two weeks from 6 month anniversary.

Lol I will have to try that.

I decided to only tell my close family and a couple of co workers. As the weight has come off when someone comments one of my coworkers insists on telling them it's because I had WLS. Very frustrating. I have asked her several times to stop but it continues. So I say only tell those you know you can trust.

I lost 20 pounds on my first week of liquids pre op. try protein shakes and water only. Might help.

I was sleeved 10/5/12. It was the best thing I have done for my self. Just wanted to share with you a before and after pic. SW 355 DOS 317 CW 249

Seem to be in a stall. Noticed my carbs a little high so I have cut back. Amazing how they snuck back into my diet. I was surprised to see so many carbs in my Protein bars i will be looking for a new one. WDS 317 CW 252

I completely understand. I just cut my bcl hair to shoulder length. It is shedding so bad I had no choice. It feels weird to have so little hair. I hope it stops soon so I can grow it back out.

I'm in. Pre op weight 320 Current. 252 Goal 180 Want to be at 225 by April 1st.

After weeks of going to the kitchen to find my healthier choices gone and the junk left that is exactly what I did. And no one has complained about the lack of junk food.

Yay we were sleeved on the same day.

And to answer your activity question I work out 5 days a week. Combining cardio and strength training.

My starting weight was 355 I lost 25 pounds during supervised weight loss. 20 pounds during pre op diet. I was sleeved in October and at four months I have lost a total of 56 pounds since surgery. To date I have Iost just over 100 pounds. I'm 5'6".

Thanks for that information. I will have to give that a try.

Are you getting all your fluids?

Me too and I get conflicting info. My doctor says not to eat the calories back but the nutritionist says I should.

That is kind of my concern. I eat and then exercise, with the calories I burn I am only getting 200-300 calories.

Do you exercise? And are you eating the calories you burn? I'm having trouble with my scale too. And I eat 800-900 calories a day.

Sleeved 10/05 I have lost 50 lbs since surgery. In the beginning it was dropping steadily at 4-5 pounds a week but the last couple of weeks I have stalled only loosing 1-2 pounds. I think I need to change up my exercise routine.
