I am stressed out because I feel like I am not losing fast. My surgery was 2/12 and I was 265 post op and 225 now, but it teeters up and down a few lbs daily. Anyway I worry that I am stretching my stomach and that it isn't going to work for me!

Don't stress, I was a266 to start, Sleeved 3/12 and was 226.8 this morning. I have felt many times I was loosing slow or eating to much but the scale keeps moving. And know it will for you to, follow doctors plan and it will happen.

Also I go up and down few lbs

I am in the same boat....sleeved Feb. 27 and have lost 45 lbs. but I have been stalled for about ten days . I am exercising 40 minutes a day and attempt to make it to the gym 5 days a week. What is the deal?????

I lost 46 lbs too, and i was sleeved on feb 21st! So we are all in the same boat . Be proud of your success

I was sleeved on Feb 19th. Started at 263 and now I'm 210... I have hit a stall and no matter what I do I'm not losing. I ride my bike anywhere from 3-10 miles a day.. I almost think I'm eating to much even though I don't eat a lot I snack. I haven't seen 199 in 20+ years and am starting to feel like I never will....

Was getting ready this morning to check in for the same reason I was sleeved 2/12, started at 261 lbs, and had been stuck at 205 for 3 weeks. This morning wallah! 203 lbs!!! I think we're going to start hitting plateau's more often now that we're approaching 5 months out from surgery. I work with several who had surgery in Jan and they started having the same experience around 5 months. Others were sleeved a year or so ago and they all assure me the weight will continue to come off just slower than were used to. I too have not seen below 200 lbs in over 20+ years and cannot wait to see that 199. Cheers!!!!!

This morning 202 !! Can't hardly stand the excitement of seeing 199 lbs for the first time in 20+ years!! I love my sleeve.

Great job!!!!

I was sleeved February 18th, my heaviest weigh on Sept 20 was 254 lbs.... I was 212 on the surgical table!!!! Now I am at 155lbs, 5 months post op almost, on July 18 anyways. Loving my nee body. I am much more confident. I still do not see myself the way others do, hopefully my mind will catch up with my real size, still feel fat most of the time.

Please stop weighing yourself everyday - EVERYONE'S weight teeters up and down a few lbs daily. You're just torturing yourself. Pick a weigh day once a week and stick to it but only that day.
