for_me

I was sleeved on 3/27/15, I lost 20 lbs by the end of week 2. I am in the middle of week 5 and have only lost 6-7 pounds since then. Today is one of those days when I'm not sure this is something that I should have done, as I've lost weight faster in the past, pre-surgery.
I started at 251, 5 weeks, days and weigh 224.8. Oh ans the tape measure is not moving either. I am very discouraged at this point.

I understand that the 20 lb in 2 weeks is not what will continue to happen. I am familiar with Water weight and glycogen storage.
Mathematically speaking, considering I barely net any calories a day after exercise. I should be close to a half a lb a day loss. It's frustrating, because it just doesn't make any sense.
Fyi, there is no way possible for me to increase calorie intake.

Hang in there. I'm 3 mo's out and am averaging 1-2 lbs a week. It's not what I started at, but while it's only a pound, Celebrate it! I also see inches coming off, while I'm not seeing the wt come off. People are noticing the loss...each week I'm able to wear old clothes from years ago, the I couldn't get into the week before. I try to push more fluids and Protein but I also try to add a carb or two that I normally wouldn't. Surprisingly it seems to help some. I think our bodies get into ruts and like to do what's comfortable for them. Good luck...you'll get there! I feel your frustration!
