Ok everyone... I was sleeved on Nov 12th, and weighed 240.

My first week I lost 10 pds and my second another 10... Which was Awesome!!!

But since then "0" WTFudge is going on! :-(

This is my sample menu:

B: 1 EGG OR 5OZ Protein Shake

L: 4 SHRIMP OR 2OZ tuna

D: 2OZ SALMON OR 1/4 CRAB meat

SNACK: cheese STICK OR 5OZ Protein shake

I'm tracking my calories and I am under 300 - 350 max.

What is wrong???

Anyone else struggling???

Is this normal???

I don't think your getting enough calories in. 300-350 seems pretty low to me. try to increase your calories that will bump up your metabolism and kick the weight loss off.

I had my 3 month f/u yesterday (it has been 4 months since surgery 11/1). I've only lost 38 so I am one of the slow losers. I have been in a fluctuating stall for a few weeks now. My dr said I can do a 2 day liquid diet to kick start my weightloss again. He said it will shock my body and get me going. He also said that I must walk everyday. It doesn't matter how fast, just to do a mile everyday. He said that is the key to keep the weightloss going. Overall he said I'm doing great.

I am in the same boat as you are, My starting weight was 222 now i am 184

lbs, I am a slow loser also. I think i know what my problem is, I don't

have any restrictions, i mean i can eat bread, tortilla anything, except

can't eat and drink at the same time. I think i will do a liquid diet to

kick start. I do workout everyday so that is the reason i keep losing. I

think if i don't workout i won't lose.

My doc said since i don't have a lot to lose, it will be slow for me.

Hope yours and mine gets faster results.

Have an awesome evening.

Just saw your pictures and you are absolutely rocking that sleeve girl!! I know you feel and not just look better, you can tell by your smiles. Wow glad to see that we can keep our "thickness" in the places that matter LOL you know the husbands like some junk in the trunk (well mine does). You gave me that extra push to schedule sooner rather than later. Waiting to hear from insurance now. Do you have any skin issues, it didn't seem so. Do you have to wear like the Spanx or any shapers?

Sleeved Nov 14, 2012

My calorie intake 1200. Lost 30lbs so far, my Nut says I'm a slow loser due to diabetes and she suggested I do 20min of exercise a day.

[butta1074 68]

Misslady,

Thank you for the compliment. And no i dont have any problems with skin, i have two children that were delivered by c-section so i always had a little bump in the stomach area. When i put on my undergarments it conceals it anyway. And yes my husband likes the fact that my thickness is still in the right places, lol.

Congrats, you should be at the point that your able to work out. I try and work out at least 4 days a week incorporating weight training and cardio. Trying really hard to fight the sagging skin as much as I can.
