Thought i would put out my update for everyone who has considered themselves a slow loser like me! Today is my two months surgery anniversary and I have officially lost 56 pounds. 31 since surgery. Not to bad considering I have a larger than normal sleeve because of scar tissue left behind from my lapband and I feel like I have been a slow loser compared to other Sleevers. I eat around 1000 calories a day which is more than most Sleevers because I don't ever reach satiety eating less because of my larger sleeve and I take brisk walks at least 3 times a week! I have noticed a pattern developing with my weight loss, I tend to stall for two weeks at a time going up and down the same 1 or 2 pounds and then I will wake up and surprisingly weigh 5 pounds less!!! This must be how my body is going to lose this weight I guess!! Just lost 5 pounds in the last two days so I bet I will stay steady for another two weeks and wait for the next swoosh!! Good luck to us all on this journey!!

Congratulations on your weight loss.... You sound like you are doing well! They way I see this journey is that it is not a sprint..... We are in a marathon....we need to pace ourselves for the long haul!

Best wishes

Tannak,

I'm right where you are and my nutritionist assures me that's not slow! I've lost 16% of my excess body weight. You are right on target. Good luck to you too

Thank you both! And good luck to the two of you as well!!
