Pre-op weight 220lbs or under

I was sleeved on December 5, 2012 and I was weighing 202 pounds on the day of surgery. I had to go through a six-month weight loss program which I started at 227pounds In order to be approved By insurance. I would like to know if there's anyone else out there that started at this lower weight? It is sometimes difficult to compare yourself to people who started at a higher weight it seems like everything is slower.

Now two weeks and no WL since my first 2 week WL of 15 lbs. I am getting very frustrated and I'm also feeling hungry often. Help!

The day of surgery Oct 8 I was 240 I am now 187 and 5 sizes smaller in jeans. and 4 sizes smaller in shirts. I also hit a stall at 3 weeks as far as pounds, but kept losing inches. Now I am on the second dreaded stall and it has lasted longer than the first one.

Hi Ginny! I'm not scheduled to be sleeved until Feb 18th but my current weight is 219. I'll be happy with any loss' date=' even if it's slow. I've been maintaining ~220 for the last 10-15 years, hope to get to and maintain a much lower weight! <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />[/quote']
