How is everyone doing? I'm fine, lost 2 lbs this week, so I'm happy for a total of 36 since 3/8/13.... Kinda slow, but that's ok :)

Total loss 52lbs.

40 since surgery 3/18.

I am slow at losing also. I kind of yoyo. Up 2, down 1, down 2, up 1 and so on.

I also stalled frim week 3 to week 5 & again week 8-9.

But its coming off and thats what I try to focus on.

Try being the operative word, lol!

I am also a slow loser. Surgery was 3/11/13 and was 245 now I'm 208. Was hoping to be under 200 by now but its not meant to be. Went to my dr who thinks I'm not trying hard enough! I guess I'm not in her eyes, however my NUT says I'm right on track. I will try better by limiting carbs and doing more protein!

I don't know if I'm a slow or fast looser. I don't really care. Surg 3-19-13 start at 237 now I'm at 188. Training now for a 10k run in the fall. Exercise is the main thing for me. I eat the way the Dr. says. And I exercise at least 3 days a week for no less than 30 min EVER!! Today I burned 378 cal. ALL cardio. My goal weight is 170. Oh and if I want something sweet I eat it. Not a lot but I eat it. It's all about moderation. "something I never even thought if before" I still battle the fat guy I use to be but I'm kicking his ass every time now! Good luck and DO NOT GIVE UP!

I'm so glad to hear every one is doing so well. My pre-surgery weight was 215. I was sleeved on 3/7 and I'm down to 163 lbs. I watch what I eat but exercise seems to be key for me. I exercise about 6-7 days a week. But some times if I feel the urge for some ice cream I do have a little to get over the craving and then I'm satisfied. Or some times I may eat a piece I fruit to satisfy my sweet tooth. I think we are all doing a great job and we will all get there eventually.

Still in the midst of a 6 week stall. Nut and doc assure me it HAS to come off. We'll see.

Good luck! I was in a 4 wk stall and it about drove me nuts!!

Stalls are the worst! I stalled the whole month of April!! Was so depressed, but got jumpstarted again by dropping my carbs...

Sneezing? Do you ever sneeze in a frenzy when you eat or either hiccup? Anyone know the reasons for this?

I wouldn't resort to gimmicks' date=' but just eat the way you are supposed to. Eat whole foods, Protein first, and work out with some kind of really difficult strength training 3X each week. Them, be happy with 1-2 pounds per week. We really both need to get away from daily weighing I think, because we both know deep down that you just can't physiologically lose a pound of fat day after day. I think the initial spectacular results of the sleeve kind of blind us to the fact that even starving, or fasting people can't lose a pound a day for very long. It's just not sustainable.

This might be the best thing I've read in here EVER! I've actually considered going back to HCG. I could eat even LESS and lose MORE. Then I decided that it is all bull. I'm going to eat normal healthy food and enjoy my slow (about 2 pounds a week) losses. Learning to live a non-obsessive food life and LOVING it!

I'm a slow loser too, but I am consistently losibg 2lbs a week. Pre-op 233, SW 218, CW 184. Surgery date was 3/18.

I eat under 800 calories a day. Carbs are usually under 50 carbs sometimes less and ive had a few bad days where its been more. I work out 3-5 days a week my aversge is 4 and I burn 250-350 calories per session or more.

I don't know how to boost my loss. I just want to lose a consistent 10 mobth

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
