I was sleeved 12/21/12..........I am down 70 lbs as of last Friday.....I have 56 lbs until I hit goal, but I have stalled lately I suppose my loss is good though I just want if off yesterday lol also I have chronic low back pain due to just being dx with moderate to severe lumbar facet arthritis so exercise is painful.....I am 5'9 to 5'10 and my nutritionist wants my calorie intake to approx 1200 per day........I don't know everyones different but I find myself thinking my wt loss shoud be better

70 lbs is awesome!!! Congrats!! You will hit goal - just keep your eye on the prize!

That awesome. I was sleeved on 4/4 down 36 pounds thus far. I need to start excercising to tighten up

I think your doing great. I've lost 70 lbs ( 14 prior to surgery 3/21/13 56 post surgery) I'm in touch w another sleever who had his surgery 2 weeks after me and he's already lost 100lbs but each of us have more or less to lose, diff body types, diff metabolism etc I just stay positive and grateful for the very slow loss I'm still having (about 1lb a wk) We'll all get there w time. Good luck to you and all of us

Congratulations! Your weight loss is awesome!

I have arthritis also. I've been tested numerous time to try to figure out what type I have and nuthin' comes out pos. So, I just ache all over. I know my weight would come off faster if I could exercise without the joint pain. Muscle pain, I can deal with, joint, not so much.... I REALLY wanna start my arthritis meds again, but my doc wants some acid irritation to heal before I try the nsaids again.....

Good luck!

I've learned you can't judge yourself by others successes or failures. You have to be comfortable within yourself and be proud of where your at and where you came from

Yea I would love to have a 100 lb weight loss but I am happy with what I have lost so far. It's hard not to want to have the results of others but in due time,it should come.
