Hey 2 lbs a week is awesome. My surgeon said that 2 lbs a week is what I should shoot to lose.

I have just started Water aerobics this summer. I love it. So give me 2 a week. Slow and steady wins the race. Hey it took me 25 years to gain it all so taking a year to lose it all.... okay, I guess i can be patient.

Plus I think about how good I feel now and how much more I can do. Heck going up the stairs without wanting to keel over at the top totally rocks. And I can even beat my hubby in the number of push ups I can do.

SW: 230

Current: 189

Sleeved March 15.

Lol, that's great!! I don't lose 2per week, but I try very hard!! My body says "not yet!" I feel so much lighter that it surprises me sometimes. I feel so much better physically and so much better emotionally. It's definitely been worth 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

I would love a consistent 10 per mo also. Like you, I need to know how to get a jumpstart !

I think you are on to something because when I have 1 or 2 Protein Shakes a day, I lose more weight compared to when I just have food only. I am starting to think that the extra Protein throws our body out of starvation mode. I don't know what else it could be ???

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
