I got sleeved on the 5th and it wasnt that painful the first few days. after i came home i started to feel the pain, specially the gas pains. Swallowing is a totally new experience. If i take a sip thats to big the pain i get in my chest from pain is so bad.

I cant wait for it to get better. Its not that i regret it, oh no, it just that its like learning to eat all over again. I have started to write down none scale victories. I want to exercise again, i want to play sports again, and most of all play with my kids without feeling tired

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 !

If i keep doing atleast 1 protein shake a day then i lose if not i stall

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 ???

I get the same protein shake or food.

I agree im now making sure i drink atleast 1 total lean shake from GNC a day love them taste yummy and 25 grams protein
