Im only 8 months out , and I’m losing weight slowly . My twin sister got her gastric sleeve a month after & she already lost 100 pounds in 7 months . Is anyone going through the same thing I am ?

What kind of bad choice you made ?

I am in the same boat. I have actually gained 15-20 pounds by grazing and making bad choices. I am trying to get it under control but once you slip it gets easier and easier to make poor choices.

as long as you're sticking closely to your plan, the weight will come off, whether fast or slow. I was a slow loser, but I lost over 200 lbs altogether. Just make sure you're not overdoing it somewhere - if not, if you're on plan, then I wouldn't worry about it. Your rate of weight loss is what it is, depending on many factors. As long as you're sticking to your program, the weight will come off.

Congrats on your surgery and on losing so much in 8 months.
I'm 10 months out and at 1st goal. Now working on 2nd goal.
Like @Biddy zz I keep a pretty tight practice for diet. Plus I add in IF (intermittent fasting) in a varying schedule. I like to keep things mixed up so I don't get bored. But the one thing any of those days includes is scheduled real meals that get logged and all food gets weighed or measured and logged--either before I eat it so I know how much to serve, or immediately after eating it, before leaving the table! LOL.
No snacking for me on regular days. Holidays are the only exceptions--generally. I might have a hungry, hungry heifer day where I just mess up (I'm human). But I try to make "wise" choices on those days. Sometimes I can't. Sometimes I win. But generally, the rule is no snacking. And my other rule is that my average intake is between 800-850 while still losing and fits within my macros: 60-74g Protein, 40-50g total carbs with most coming from Fiber sources from veggies, etc (no grains, rice, Pasta, flours), and fat is whatever fills up the remaining cals after protein and carbs are accounted for during that day.
Exercise ideally would be daily, a minimum of 1 hour per day of some kind of movement that includes some muscle challenges! I shoot for at minimum 6 out of 7 days per week with 7 being the goal. Non-negotiable (except on the days I screw up or am sick).
The idea now that I am healed and can potentially eat anything and everything is to fill my day with the healthiest selections from whole foods that fit my macros. I try to adopt a "zero crap" daily policy for as many strung together consecutive days as possible. Some days I win. Some days, meh...LOL.

Hiya @Sasha Cyrus
I am a year out. I have no plan from my surgeon any more, but four simple guidelines:
Strictly three meals a day, forever. No snacking. Ever. Protein - at least 70g a day. I start every day with a coffee/protein icy slushie, but the rest of the protein is from chicken, Beans, nuts etc. No potato, rice, Pasta. Or hardly ever, anyway. Calories without substance. And I try and keep the sweet treats to a minimum because I know that I have a sugar addiction, and never want to be on THAT eating path again! This works really well for me. That and exercise every day. The exercise is good, but I regularly remind myself - this battle is won in the kitchen, not the gym.
What about you? How are you eating?

Hello all!

I am 5 months out and a 100lbs down. I am honestly so grateful that I got the opportunity to have this operation done. I don’t miss my old life style at all, I now love the gym, I love my lean Protein and veggie meals, I love being able to shop anywhere without worrying about if they’ll carry my size, I love not worrying about taking up too much space on public transport, I love running about everywhere and not feeling the excess weight on my knees and feet.

Have I had bad days?? Of course! One day I ate an entire block of brie, another day I ate a slice of pizza. But the difference is now I don’t let my mistakes define. One bad meal isn’t going to get me back where I started. One bad meal isn’t the end of my journey. I accept it, and move on. Maybe i’ll move around even more the next day.

I have another 30lbs to go until I hit my goal weight, I will never ever ever be skinny, because i’m naturally curvy and you know what? That’s ok. I own these curves and i’m healthy and curvy!
