Omg The Scale Finally Moved



Recommended Posts

Sleeved on July 26th 2012 and have dropped 5 pounds. Man that took awhile. I started this whole process almost 1 year ago and in total have lost 34 pounds. This is slow going and I know now that this is definitely a tool and not a miracle surgery. I have always challenged things I "have to" do and it is painfully apparent that it is up to me to use this new tool properly. I pray for strength and direction for success.

Yep, it's just a tool. It's up to us what we put in our mouths and whether or not we exercise. We can do this! You've only lost 5 lbs? Congrats!

I was sleeved on Aug. 1. I am not losing very quickly either. It seems like just about everyone on here is really dropping the weight fast.

I'm with ya. I'm not taking in 500/600 calories though. I'm averaging 900 a day. Some folks have very little intake. I have healed very quickly. I need to increase my exercise though.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
