Great Job.. I was just going to add that to try to eat a little more.. as long as it's Protein calories it may help. I think alot of people who hit stalls are low on their calorie intake, my research recommends upping your calories if you stall too long... sounds scary I know but seemed like it worked for you really well.. 15 lbs in 2 weeks is HUGE!!

Congrats!

Just an update. 68lbs down in 14 weeks!!! Things are going great! This sleeve was just the push I needed. I'm drinking tons of Water, eating well balanced meals, exercising, and telling myself I'm worth this and I love myself and I need to be lean and strong to survive. I'm trying to change my programming, and it's working!!! I <3 my sleeve!

Hello All!

I am down 18lbs a week after my sleeve. Very excited about that! Does it usually keep that pace or should I expect a slow down soon. I would love to be down 40-50 lbs by March when I go home to see my family again. Do you think I am aiming too high?

This makes me happy! Yeah, I've been stalled for the last two weeks. However, my clothes are getting looser, so I'm not really worried. I definitely need to up my Water intake though. That's the goal everyday for me.

Great going Josephine.... If you do everything right, you are bound to lose weight... Sometimes the scale won't show as you build muscle and muscle weight is more than the fat weight and hence no change. But you will be losing the inches !!

Yup! My clothes are just falling off. Even the few new ones I have to get to tide me along! If you get in a stall, do not worry! You are still losing weight, your body just hasn't decided if it will release it or not. Upping your calories and drinking a ton of Water makes a huge difference!

Your doing great, but everyone is right you have to drink a lot of Water and get your Protein in. I notice when I dont eat and drink my water I dont lose weight. But also keep track of your measurements cause if your not losing wieght your losing inches. Keep up the good work. I just started water aroebics hoping that will help me a lot.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
