Dan! You are absolutely rocking this life change! So encouraged by your story!!! Keep it up and you will not recognize the new you in size and behavior! Yay for you!!!

Hello May Sleevers!!! I have to say I feel like I have had a slow weight loss. I started at 237. With my pre-op diet I only lost 7 pounds. I was sleeved on May 8th, 2013 and struggled a lot after surgery. I could not get in any fluids without almost vomitting for about 2 1/2 weeks. Any way, I am currently at 197 as of my weigh-in yesterday. Which puts me at 40 pounds total, 33 lbs down since surgery. How is everyone else doing?

Sleeved May 22nd 9 weeks post op and am down 22 pounds since surgery. I am coming off my 2nd stall the first lasted almost 3 weeks and the last 2 weeks. So needless to say I'm a slow loser but I will take it.

Thanks, but I will point out that starting at over 400 lbs the percentage of weight I've lost is really similar to someone at 200 pounds losing just over 40 lbs. (Still, I'm VERY happy with the numbers I see on the scale these days.) :ph34r:

Sleeved May 9th

At 10 weeks I hit my half way point of 45 lbs. 10 was pre-op.

Love me sleeve now that I understand it!

I was sleeved the same day. I am a slow loser too. But I am down 29 lbs. I get frustrated but when was the last time any of us lost weight? It will only get better. I have found that the more I move the more I lose. Log every bite into my fitness pal or a program like it. Get a pedometer and get 10000 steps a day. That is the only thing that helps me lose.

May 16. Stuck at 37 post op for almost two weeks now. Definitely not speedy but it's okay.

I am definitely a slow loser...at another stall now...was sleeved May 6 and have lost 34 pounds...I think the main reason I am not losing more quickly is lack of exercise...and that is the result somewhat of lack of time to exercise but more the result of a lack of energy...I am not giving up though!

I was sleeved May 8 @ 310 pounds...as of this morning I am down 53 pounds to 257...had my 3 mo (a bit early) appointment today and I am exactly where I am supposed to be on my surgeon's chart...next goal is at 6 mo., and if I keep pace, I'll be 220 (90 lbs lost). Feeling good, have little to no hunger, portion size is typically between 3-4 oz that I do 3 meals a day and my activity level over past few weeks has been 3-4 days a week for 50 min sessions (group boot camp classes). Going to try barre method classes starting next month as I have heard it is EXCELLENT for toning.

Today is my 2 month check-in and I have lost 37.1 lb and now weigh 229.4

I have not been under 230 since the 1980's!!

May 1st almost 3 mo out down 50# starting wt 257 today 207

I was sleeved on May 22nd and I am down 50lbs! Went from 300 to 250! Highest weight 315! I love my sleeve!

Sleeved May 22. Down 42 pounds from day of surgery
