January Newbies ! Progress ?

Happy groundhogs day

Day 17 here and feel quite good. Down 29.6 from day after surgery or 23.6 from per op. again see days I lose and days I don't but to think I have not been this weight for 6 years that puts it in perspective.

Most of us would like to lose faster but again look at the direction the scale is heading and most important how you feel.

A dream I think about is how many days post op I will hit 100 down from day of surgery

Good luck all

Don't be disappointed. I had surgery on the 24th and I'm done 14 so we aren't much different. You will drop the weight!!

And I was sleeved on the 21st and haven't lost anything in the past 2 days and today was a 1.5 gain.... Now what??? I'm sad, frustrated, pissed off! Since surgery I've only lost 8.5 pounds....

Try to be patient. I know it is difficult, but It won't do any good to get upset. Think long term. It will happen!

Think about it like this, on weight watchers, avg person loses 1-1.5 lbs per week. You are killing it compared to the rest of them in the diet struggling weight loss world! Your body has been totally turned upside down in the past 30 days! Keep drinking Water, keep or get exercising and focus on getting your Protein in and the rest will take care of itself!

I started my exercise today and it felt so empowering!!! I think it's because I know it will help my weight loss and healing. I am only 10 days post op but the doc said I could start walking just no ab workouts and no lifting over 15 lbs:)

After Christmas I was 210, I lost 4 lbs and decided to get the sleeve Jan 5th. lost 4 lbs on the pre-op diet and was sleeved on Jan19th at 202lbs. Went up a few days after that and then started losing gradually. I'm at a stall right now at 194 so I'm going to shake it up and add to my walking/yoga routine a full workout at the gym today.

They say to break stalls either decrease the calories or increase/change the workout routine. At 500-700 calories decreasig calories isn't an option for me. Hopefully some different exercise and a little sweat will help.

For gas problems I found that breathing in as much as I could possibly get into my lungs and then 3 more breaths and hold really got the gas out fast. I think the walking helps by circulation and getting deeper breaths in. To all those struggling with it, I feel your pain and I hope it gets better soon!

OK, I was just going to go take a shower and I stepped on the scale and down 1 lb. I guess the stall is over? Either way, I'll take it!

I always get so excited, I always run to enter my stats as SOON as I see the lower scale number...like a little kid at Christmas

Today I've lost 26 pounds its crazy cause I'm weighing myself in kg and the number doesn't change until it a two pound lose in pounds but yay it's gotten so much easier but I do get hunger at 12 noon everyday maybe because I use to eat at that time everyday but other then that I'm not hunger my surgery was 1/21

[roiansmom 4]

Sleeved on 1/10 and on 1/22 was down approx 22lbs at my 2 week post-op visit, and a total of 40lbs from my first visit preop.

I have no idea if I've lost anything since then, as I refuse to weigh myself at home

I was sleeved January 5th . Starting weight 201 and down to 185 any other peeps proud of their progress?

I was sleeved Jan 28. I am resisting weighing myself or trying on 1-2 size smaller clothes that I had pre-surgery from when I was smaller till about 6 weeks after surgery. I walk daily & so far keeping to my Fluid, Vitamin & Protein level. Ill post when 6 weeks come.

Congrats to you all & much success

I was sleeved on the 30th and since I still look like a bloated Oompa Lumpa from all the junk they pump you with during the hospital stay I'm scarrd to go on the scale. Today, my first full liquid day I'm just focusing on getting plenty of liquids, my multi and Protein at a minimum. I think I'll post a loss, if any, at least a week out from surgery (which would be this upcoming Wednesday). Good luck to all the January folks - here's to us starting the year off right!
