January 14th, 2013. Down 70lbs including pre-op.

I was the same weight as you were before and at surgery time. I was losing quite a bit every week up until I hit the 230's. Just like you, I had about a 3 week stall and it seemed like forever before I was able to get below 228. Once the stall was over, I started losing 2-5 pounds a week, again. I'm at 215 now. Just because your body stalls a while does not mean you're doing anything "wrong". The human body needs time to adjust to so much weight loss in such a short amount of time. People don't realize that just because you're doing something "healthier" now, doesn't mean that your body is "healthy" in the middle of it. Your body is in shock and needs time to adjust. That's a lot of the reason why we "stall" in weight loss. 1,100 calories a day is perfect, especially with exercise! I've been heavily educated on this and I am confident to tell you that if you eat less than 1,100 calories a day, you aren't going to lose the weight as fast as you want and also, anything less can get you malnutrition REAL QUICK. Sounds to me like you are right on track with no reason to complain. Yes, stalling in weight loss is frustrating. We all know that but it didn't take you a few months to gain that much weight and it needs to come back off at a reasonable speed to keep you healthy. If you want to try and speed things along a little bit, try a harder work out or simply change it up a bit. Another idea is to cut out a few carbs and sugar from your diet than usual. Good Luck to you. I had my surgery on January 14th and my goal was to be under 200 by June 1st. I'm almost there. It's gonna be close but I can tell you that I'm VERY confident that you can meet YOUR goal.

I'm also 4 months out and down 72lbs. Congrats!! You are doing great

It seems to me that you are right on track. I lost 8 pounds pre op and have lost 41 more since surgery on January 14th. That is WITH regular exercise.

If I could eat 2 full tacos in 15 minutes, I'd be setting up an appointment with my surgeon IMMEDIATELY to find out why! I don't actually know why someone who was sleeved 8 weeks ago would even ATTEMPT to eat that much but each to their own.

I was sleeved on January 14. Starting weight was 277 and weight today is 255. I don't understand what all the "confessions" are about? Why is it not okay to eat a snickers every once in a while or have the fish from McDonald's? I've eaten whatever I want and still lose a pound every day. I'm so confused about why everyone thinks you can NEVER have sugar, caffeine, carbs, or fat again? That's probably why everyone's hair is falling out??! Eat a healthy diet but be realistic! If you want one piece of cheesecake (which u prob can't eat every bite of anyways) then eat one!
