I was sleeved on 3/9. My weight before my 3 day pre-op diet was 226, day of surgery 220 and today 202.5. While I am not UNhappy with my loss so far, I'm not thrilled either. No one has noticed my weight loss, I can still wear the same clothes, more comfortably of course ...but still. I just thought I would do better to be honest. How about you?

I am staying between 500 and 800 calories a day. A good program I use to help me keep track of my daily intake is http://caloriecount.about.com/cc/account/flog.php . I am not loosing a lot of weight at a time. I think I am averaging about 2 lbs a week right now. I am taking it nice and slow and thankful for each and every pound I can wave goodbye too.

Same here I had to up mine to 800-1000 because I want getting in enought and I was stalling majorly. I have only lost 21, but am so happy that is gone!!

I'm consuming anywhere between 500-700. I only stalled during week 3. Fortunately I always lose something. The lowest I've lost in a week is .6 and the most in a week is 7 pounds. I exercise five days a week for 50 minutes.

My arms are getting crazy flabby and so is my apron. I think I need to add more weight training. This is the thing I need to really work on.

I have one more week of school and then I'm on summer vacation. Woo-hoo! This will give me more time to focus on me. I can't decide if I want to do a boot camp thing or maybe use a trainer.

I'm trying hard to up my calories and carbs, per NUT. Today I was at 651 cal/35 carb/29 fat/53 Protein (actually about 15 more that I forgot to log). It was hard for me to eat that much today, and still enjoy a day out with my family. Now from that, I burned about 950 cals through (cardio) exercise.

And still stalled AFAIK. I assumed NUT will want to weigh me Mon or Tue so I'll know for sure then.

I need to start back with the exercising as well. I think that will really help. My schedule is so busy lately at work I am working overtime and am exhausted by the time I get home. Hope you ladies keep up the good work and stay in touch!!

I am SO excited! Today I weighed myself and I am down 51 lbs... that's FIFTY-ONE!!!!!! WoooHooooo!

Yayyyyy congrats to you!!

My surgery was 3/21...I've lost 42 pounds as of today!! I'm very happy....still have 60 more to go....

I had to go in today for my 2 month post-op labs so I asked to use the scale while I was there. Guess what? I weighed 11 oz less than I did 5 weeks ago. This was also at 2pm and I'd been fasting since 9 the previous night, so those silly 11 oz weren't really a loss. Not that 11 oz would be a loss anyway.

So I'm still good and stalled. Heading into 6 weeks stalled... and 9 weeks sleeved. I have patience, but this is really, really getting ridiculous.

I know what ur going through..tomorrow is my 3mo post op appt and I've lost only 5 lbs since my 6 wk post op appointment I've been doing everything right and can't help feeling disappointed in my self. Everyone keeps saying I'll get there but at this pace its gonna take years!

keepin it real

Up your calories no more than 1000 a day. It really helped me! What are you taking in now?

It does get very depressing when you are eating so little and incredibly....the scale doesn't move! Thankfully I seem to be losing again, but slowly. I am 10 wks out and down about 36 lbs. I would love it to be faster, and more but it is what it is.

8 weeks post op 17 lb loss, 11 during pre-op diet .. Total weight loss since surgery 6 lbs.... Guess I have a lot to be happy about

Today is 3 months for me and have lost 56 lbs. but most of it was the first 2 months. The last 4 weeks I only lost 5 lbs but I am not complaining.

I am 2 1/2 months out with a total loss of 37.8 lbs. I went in for my 3mo. post op appt and my doc and nut were very happy with my weight loss. I told them I was disappointed that I wasn't losing faster and they assured me I was on my way. The good thing is that even though the scale is not budging I fit more comfortably into some of my jeans and all my bras...wish the boobs would stay. Lol Everyone, keep doin what ur doin, I'm sure we will soon reach our goal weight!!
