Surgery date 3/06/2013. I try to eat 60-90 Protein a day. Very hard to get the Fluid in but I am working on it. I am 49.

So at my highest weight I was 280 surgical weight 260 surgery date 2/5/13 current weight 221. I'm averaging about 2-3lbs a week. I consistently burn over 2000 calories a day and take in about 900 calories a day. I go to the gym 2-3 times a week for at least an hour and I'm a nurse that works 3 12 hour shifts a week and am constantly on the go while a work....Wish I was losing faster than I am but I'm very happy with the weight loss so far....I love my sleeve

Heya. I am coming up on 21 weeks post surgery' date=' this Friday. I have lost 39lbs. Averages to fewer than 2lbs/week. My loss has slowed to 1lb a week and I haven't hit 5 months yet. I was 250 day of surgery. I lost very little pre op, about 6 lbs on a 10 day liquid diet. I lost 8 lbs the first week and then settled into a 1-2 lbs loss weekly thereafter.

I started at a BMI of 48.4 from my highest weight. Day of surgery 44.3, currently at 211 lbs I have a BMI of 37.4. To be at a normal, healthy BMI I will have to lose 70 more lbs. So in about 5 more lbs I will be halfway there.

I started in 20/22 jeans and pants, size 18 dresses, XL tops. Currently in size 16/18 jeans, size 14 pants (mostly, some 14's are small) and size L tops, size XL or 12 dresses.

If it wasn't for inch loss and being able to wear smaller clothes I'd be way more depressed about my slow loss.[/quote']

You look great! You gave a me a light at the end of the tunnel. I was getting down about the slow loss. After seeing you I took out the measuring tape and I lost inches.

I last posted a month ago on May 15th. One month later I've dropped from 211 to 205- 6 lbs. The month before that I lost 2 lbs. What keeps me from jumping off a roof? Photos.

The photo below is my pre op photo and a pic I took this morning. I haven't dropped a ton of weight lately but dem inches baby!

I didnt keep track other than on my ticker' date=' but I have a little to report. I lost my first 20lbs the first 2 weeks and then nothing. It's been 5 months and I sneakily lose a pound here and there without even knowing until I happen to weigh myself. I've had up to a 7 week stall and many others, but I'm completely fine with my loss. I guess my stats are

1st 2 weeks = 20 pounds

4 1/2 months = 20 some pounds (can't remember without looking at my ticker)[/quote']

I am there with you, same loss and fine with it! I've lost 40 inches too and am pretty happy with that and having not to count every single gram of everything I ingest. Yay for us;)

[playlikeworldchamps 595]

I was 3 months from surgery yesterday and have averages 3 lbs a week counting the first 2 fast weeks but is more like 2 a week in reality.

my SW was 295 and CW is 242. my highest ever last year was 315 and my before picture represents that.

I like the 2 pound a week average. my surgeon tells me to try to lose 55 more in the next 6 months. I hope I can! I am 5-10 and that would put me at 198 and I could live with that!

Surgery 5/22 . I have lost 15 pounds in 4 weeks and I guess I'll take what I can get. I'm trying to figure out what works for me. The first 14 came off in the first 10 days. I exercise about 3 times a week and take in very few carbs. Maybe 20-30 per day. I hate all Protein Shakes post op so I try to eat it all. Hoping to lose 16 pounds by my 30th birthday in August. Not sure that's going to happen though.

You look good though!!!

[HoosierGirl 780]

Surgery date 2/4/13....have lost 54 lbs including the pre-op diet. Average weight lost per week 2.45. Some weeks I lose nothing or even gain. Some weeks I lose 4lbs. Go figure. All I know is that I am doing the diet really well, tracking all I eat/drink, and getting plenty of exercise. What I haven't lost in weight, I certainly am gaining in muscle tone.

Overall, I don't really care how it comes off, how quickly it comes off.....only that it KEEPS COMING OFF!!! LOL!

Don't beat yourself up if it feels slow, just keep doing what you are doing because you are heading in the right direction!

5 weeks out. Surgery was on may 15th. I have lost 21 pounds. 14 were just in the first week though. I'm losing about 2 pounds per week now. Starting weight was 205. I'm now at 184. First goal is 165. Second goal is 130. Hoping to be done by the end of 2013. Slow and steady wins the race
