Hello its been a while since I have been on here just checking on my Sept 2010 sleevers to see where everyone is. My weight loss has slowed down a whole lot, I have only lost 51 pounds since then, I was hoping for a little bit more. I am eating and drinking more so I have to watch myself. Any tips on jump starting my loss back? What are you doing to maintain and not regain at this point? Thanks for any help and tips.

Best wishes.

So at 51 pounds, what % have you lost? What did you want to lose? What are you doing/eating/drinking?

Not sure of the % I think I want to at least get down to 180. food is usually good stuff not all the time. :( I am trying to increase my activity some though haven't been very good about that.

% is found by #lost divided by #want to lose times 100.

For example I have lost 75 lbs and want to lose 150lbs so that I 75/150x100= 50%.

So at 4 and1/2 months I have lost 50%.

The stats for loss expectations match percents better than pounds lost.

Hope this helps.

It all still seems to come down to volume consumed. I am one of the unfortunate souls who got hungry immediately. It's tough, but I have just tried to embrace the constant hunger and I make a choice not to give in to it. I am consuming about 750-800 calories a day and have been a consistent loser. I went on vacation in Feb and figure I was eating more like 1000-1100 calories a day and I gained 2 pounds that week. That was a reality check for me. I know where I need to be to lose. Certainly shaking things up with a change in routine helps, but you need to find that place where you will lose.

Do you log everything you eat in Facebook or something like that? That keeps me on top of my Protein and calories and carbs pretty well.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
