I was sleeved on 11/13 and have lost 38lbs my weight loss is now 2lbs a week but I haven't started exercising yet. I am going to start full force tomorrow and get this ball rolling faster. How is everyone else doing?

At my diabetes doctor and I am off my insulin and I do not have to take oral meds. Before surgery I weighed 361, today I weigh 296... I am so excited!!!!

Congrats Missyhope!! I'm finally losing some more weight!! I was in a stall there for a moment I couldnt get under 250 and it really upsetted me but I finally started to lose Im down to 243 and I see my dr Feb 21st and I want to go and weigh 230 so I have like a month to lose 13 lbs!! I can do it!! S.W 290lb and C.W is 243 a total of 47lbs in 2months I'm happy But I want to get under 200!!!

Sleeved Nov 12th' date=' now down 94lbs and the 12th of Jan will be 2 months out! just keeps falling off! can't wait for the next 100 to be gone. Things are changing and finding I can do what I used to do after struggeling for the last 12 years of being in "Fat Hell", can only blame myself, but never again!, only going to get better now.[/quote']

I bet you're a damned man! LOL jk of course! Men lose so easily! Also, girls don't compare yourself to others weight loss! It will get discouraging! Percent of weight loss means more! I am 5'8" and have a bmi of 38. I wont lose as fast as a man with a bmi of 60 or a 20 year old girl with same bmi!

Hi I was sleeved November 27th and weighed 290 before surgery and Im down to 250!! So 40lb gone so far but I feel so like I should be losing more!!! Maybe I'm being unrealistic or just to hard on myself but im just so scared that this suirgery wont WORK!!! To Yasmine I eat a little bit of everyhting but to be honest all Snacks or food that I put in my mouth have to have some kind of Protein because I struggle so much to meet the protein. Also I do myfitnesspal Ortegap. but how many calries does it say you should be having cuz that programs gives me so much even though my dr told me 1200. How many calories is everyone trying to consume!! And how do you get a ticker

We would have gained from late November until now! I am not sleeved yet...I probably did! But 40 is great! I've been told 300-500 calories from my doc. I'd not lose at 1200! I've damaged my metabolism too badly!

HW: 511 lbs

SW: 446 lbs

CW: 385 lbs

Sleeved 11-30-2012

So from 9-1-2012 to today down 126 lbs

I"m sorry but your nut is a nut. Exercising uses more energy (calories) thus increasing weight loss. Your metabolism will also increase which uses more energy (calories). I've seen some terrible nuts in my time' date=' but that one takes the cake![/quote']

I so agree! Calories in and calories burned is what it's all about!

Sleeved November 5th. Down 58 since surgery 87 since September 14th. Averaged 62g protein 38g carbs and 557 calories since surgery.

I was sleeved Nov 20 and I'm down 40 lbs ! I'm walking and eating about 800 to 900 calories a day with as much protein as I can do .

You and I have the same (well close enough) stats! Sw:298. Cw: 247. I, too, CANNOT wait to see the scale start with a '1'. What are u eating?

Am I normal? I was sleeved nov. 14th. When I started the whole process in September I weighed 292. At the time of surgery 262. Now I'm at 229lbs. I keep seeing these huge numbers from others after surgery. It gets a little frustrating. And I second guess myself.

That's a massive loss!! Dont second guess yourself - you are only 2 months out and very close to being in the 100's!! Keep in mind people also include pre op diet in their numbers also. I started at 278 pre op weight now I am 220. Sleeved 7th. I think I am doing fine - and you have lost more than me I honestly wouldnt want to lose at a faster rate due to skin probs. I also exercise everyday .... and have not had any stalls since week 1. What will be will be!!

How many carbs are you all eating day? Are you eating any breads/pastas etc...? Just worried I'm getting too many. I avg 50-55 grams/day. Most of the time less, but sometimes WAY more. Never gone over 100 though.

I'm normally at 45-55 carbs. I have had a bit of pasta once before and I will be having it for dinner tonight for the first time since surgery. I'm at 51lbs lost since 11/13. I follow my plan 95% of the time- but I'm veering off tonight.

Sleeved nov 7th. Down 46. Have a trainer and a great friend who is a trainer so I'm taking tips from both going to the gym as much as I can

Sw 277

Txsdjvsg Yeah I will be so Amazed when I get down to the 199 mark my goal is actually 200lb but my surgeon said 160 so If I get to 200 I will be very pleased!! To be honest when I eat all I worry about is Protein and this being because when I hit my stall it was because I wasnt meeting my protein and I wasnt drinking enough water!!! And I never want to stall again!!! I hope not to anywaz So anything I put in my mouth has to at least have 5 grams of protein! But I have tries Pasta and it was yummy it just felt so wrong to be eating so I try to stay away!!!! The goog thing for me though is I love MEAT!!! LOL : )

Katesmeow I so felt the same way as you I wonder if I was normal I hear of all these people losing 60 to 70 lbs in like 2 to 3 months and it makes me so jealous and wonder if the surgery is going to work for me but I just have to accept that we are all different and my body will do whats best for it!! But I just want to lose!! Its almost like I want it to fall off like it was so easy to put on but I know everyone says give it time!!!
