35 lbs lost since my surgery 6/25/12. Starting weight 252 current weight 217. I find im only losing about a pound a week...i eat well but have not been exercising like i know i should. Where is everyone at 2 months out?

Talk about being jealous. I'm nearly two months and have eeked out only 15 pounds and have lost 1 freakin' pound in 5 1/2 weeks. My body doesn't want to let go of the fat despite the healthy eating and exercise. Every one of my doctors is baffeled. I know one of them is really waiting for me to confess to hoards of secret ice cream binges, McDonalds trips and laziness, but none of that is happening. I'm beyond frustrated and pissed off. First the crapband, and now the sleeve and I can not lose the weight.

Congrats and keep up the good work.

Sept 2nd will be two months - I am trucking along. I love it - love the way I feel and the lost pounds!!

Hi. I am at 191 today (I weigh in every Thursday) so I have lost 36 lbs in 8 weeks after surgery (feeling great!). I drop 2 to 4 lbs a week depending on how good I am with the fluid intake and the exercise. Exercise is indeed really important but fluid intake is the key to weight loss (at least in my case). Even if I exercise regularly, if I don't drink the recommended amount of fluid I don't lose much. Another thing is, get as much protein as possible. It will keep you satisfied way longer, it will prevent you from craving bad stuff and it will help you lose safely! Also, when you are full, stop eating..do not eat more than what you are capable of, even if it is protein what you are eating…..you will get used to be full and that is not good since you would be slowly expanding your stomach which will hold more and more food as time goes by. Good luck and enjoy your journey!

You are doing great, dont worry, a loss is a loss, no matter how small. It will happen, be patient! I seem to do better when I really concentrate on my water intake and exercise.

Are you taking in lots of high calorie liquids or have other underlying medical issues? If you are keeping your calories to 600-800 daily it is IMPOSSIBLE not to lose weight eventually. It is simple mathematics - calories in vs. calories out. If you are in a deficit you WILL lose weight.

Are you retaining Fluid? That is VERY bizarre. I would demand better answers from your physicians.
