Hey guys, I had surgery on July 3rd and I've lost 32 pounds but the scales isn't really moving the way I think it should be... How are we doing!!

Hi all

I was sleeved 8th July and am 52lbs down. Lost a fair amount of this early on but has slowed down a lot. I'm losing around 2lb a week now.

My surgery was on 7/11. I have lost 32 lbs. Recently, I have been having horrible issues with constipation. I tried a laxative this week and it was like unleashing the gates of hell. What can I do to stay regular without using medication?

Had a solid 2 week stall but I am starting to move down again. My issues with constipation are ongoing. It has helped to be able to add fruit and veggies to my diet.

I'm sorry just keep on doing what your doing. It will start up again- promise!

I'm now down to 218 (from a weight when I started my pre-surgery diet of 268), so I'm now officially 50 lbs down! There are few things that I can't eat, though there are a number of things I won't eat for one reason or another. While I don't really count calories as such - I count carbs and Protein, pay attention to eating good foods and let the rest fall into place - I do pay attention enough to know that my normal intake is between 800 and 1000 calories most days. I have eaten as much as 1200 calories in a day, and some days I'm struggling to get in 600 calories, but it all balances out. I do find that I probably eat 3/4 or more of my calories before 4 PM most days.

I'm down a couple of sizes, from a snug 24 to a normally fitting 20 right now. I have to keep fighting with myself to understand that I don't need to look at 3x clothes anymore, in fact I fit quite nicely in any XL top that isn't too closely "fitted" - my waist is still too big for anything smaller than a 1X in a tailored shirt.

If I stay on my same pace, I'm losing between 10 and 15 lbs a month, which is fine with me.

How is everyone doing with their protein and liquids?

I have this problem too. When I went shopping then other day I knew that 26/28 would be too big but I was super shocked that 22/24 looked like a sack! I had to but 18/20 tops. It's a strange feeling to explain.....

I feel like I am loosing slowly but I average about 2.8 pounds a week. I usually gain a pound or two and lose the same pounds during that time of the month...' date=' I dread that week because I never loose weight then...11 weeks out tomorrow 31 lbs down[/quote']

2.8 a week is good still going in a good direction. Besides big weekly loses equal's more loose skin later. You have time to tone.

Sleeved July 22. Down 53 lbs. down from size 20/22 jeans to a 16P.
