I was sleeved 9/19 - and I have only lost about 25lbs.

5lbs in the month after I was sleeved.

I feel like this is failing too.

I literally had my guts rearranged to not have success.

Does this really not work for some people?

Could I be that small percentage that I destined to remain fat?????

maybe you hit a stall early on. Just keep at it and get in some exercise (or increase it) each day. don't give up on your sleeve. Oh, try counting your calories...If you burn off more than you eat then you know you'll be losing weight.

Your body needs a set number of calories just to function, for example 1500 calories. You don't need to "burn off the calories you eat". We are already at a deficit eating 500-800 calories a day. Go for a walk and keep doing what you are doing, the weight will come off. Trust me I have been there too.

How many calories are you eating? How much protein are you getting in?

It's tough to comment if we don't know what you are eating, how much you have to lose, if you are counting your fats and carbs....you could be losing slowly because you're breaking all of the smart rules, or you could be losing slowly because you never had a huge amount to lose, or your body might just lose slowly. That said...you are LOSING not gaining right?????

I feel the same way! I was sleeved Aug 31, and have lost about 30 lbs. it goes 28- then 30- then back to 28-. It's very frustrating, cause I am so afraid that I ripped out my stomach and still won't get there. I chart everything on my fitness pal and probably over estimate, but get about 1200 cal per day. I need to lose about 100 lbs, so I feel like it is so slow. However, as one post said I am losing, so that is good! We need to stick with it and see where this adventure goes.

That's me too we all expect the weight to fall off cuz we got the surgery every one body is diff nd da past month nd da half I think I lost like 10 nd I got about 100 pounds to go.... good luck
