I'm 5" 203 pounds I was just sleeve Nov 12! I've only lost 5 pounds but its only been a few days anybody on Instagram :-)

Thanks OTR! It was my goal to be there by my birthday and I missed it by 3 days' date=' but I will take it!

Tsymle- My salmon burgers come from trader joes or costco- I throw some seasoning on it like teriyaki sauce (5carbs) or lemon pepper and bake it or sautee it in a pan. It's nothing fancy . Chicken Parmesan pops from tj's are awesome, too. Crab stuffed flounder, shrimp cocktail. There's so much easy no muss no fuss stuff! I freaking LOVE to cook (I bake for a living). So- if you want any ideas- let me know!!! I'm happy to share![/quote']

aishlaine, your doing amazing. I was sleeved 11/13. Lost 25 lbs. so freaking slow. I see the surgeon tomorrow. Not sure why its so hard for me to lose weight. Would love to hear some more foods that your eating. ( Portion sizes too ) I'm tolerating just about everything ( small portions). I am happy that I lost 25, just wish it was more.. Any suggestions? I am aware that everybody is different.

Thanks.. Stephanie

I was sleeved on 11/20 and have lost 25lbs since sx. I dont see my NUT for a few more wks and im curious too why im losing so slow. Im barely on my 3rd wk of working out because of some set backs. My calories are nowhere near 1100 and fluids are at most 40oz a day. Im losing so I guess I cant complain:-)

5'3". SOOOOOOO squatty. Bigger on the bottom now than on the top. But ya know, when I get down there my coke bottle shape gonna be BANGIN'.

I always get 2 oz. of whatever protein I have. Lunch meat has been a go to for me, or the salmon burgers. I then get 1 tbsp of veggies. I eat very few starchy veggies. This morning I had 1/2 a bagel with cream cheese and smoked salmon. I drink a lot (a lot of tea). I make a gallon of 'sweet' tea and drink it in 3 days. I use artificial sweetener to make it sweet. I take my vitamins. I am by no means perfect. I totally had a slice of German chocolate cake on Saturday (my birthday was Friday and my future MIL made me a cake).

What was your start weight and BMI? I'm super short (4'11) so my BMI was 50! I think that is another reason I have lost faster than some.

You might not be that slow.

Person A weighs 300 lbs and loses 30 lbs. That's 10% of their total body weight.

Person B weighs 225 lbs and loses 22.5 lbs. That's still 10% of their total body weight but comparatively they look like a slow loser because they lost 8 lbs less.

That doesn't take into account metabolism, water weight and the multitude of other things that are basically out of your control. Just know that as long as you are eating smartly neither you nor the sleeve can fail each other.

This short girl is in upper, lower Michigan. I'm 5'2", max weight 276 (BMI over 50) Starting weight at pre-op 269, Sx day 255 (01/07) currently 245. Happy so far, though no exercise other than walking yet as still have muscular pain in one side. I'll hopefully get the clear to start that at my 3 wk check-up on Monday.
