May Sleevers How Much Have You Lost So Far?

[Chimera 644]

No failure! We are all on the losers bench - some folks lose rapidly and others are moderate. We have to stay positive, it is okay if it takes some of us longer - I knew that it would most likely take 2 years to get to a healthy goal weight for me - in the great scheme of things, that is nothing really. We just have to stick with it and try our best to stay positive

My surgery was on May 14th and I've lost 35 pounds since the day of surgery. How about everyone else?

We were sleeved on the same day! May 14 for me too, and I've down 41 lbs (including 11 lbs pre-op from the 2 week liquid diet).

Glad to see so many May sleevers doing well. For those of you who are frustrated because you are losing slow, have heart. Talk to your Dr. and NUT. They may be able to pinpoint something in your diet and fitness program that may help you.

Also keep in mind, it's not always how much you are eating, but WHAT you're eating that can sabotage your weight loss. Sugars and starches are killers.

Also, besides exercise, what other physical activity are you doing? An hour at the gym everyday is great, but if you lie around on the couch the other 23 hours a day, you are making it hard for your body to burn calories. Remember, you burn way more calories during your daily life than you do at the gym, or at least you should be. Try to up your BMR with more activity in your daily life. Take the stairs. Park at the back of the parking lot. Do more yard work. Ride your bicycle to work. Whatever pleases you.

You can't fail unless you quit.

I was sleeved on may 24 & I'm down 18 & I've been stuck now for almost 3 weeks. I started to get frustrated but I haven't been working out or getting in my Protein or Water so it's probably my fault. Me & food don't really get along. I can eat sweets though with no problems. Ain't that a trip!!! Oh but pre & post op a total of 41
