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 guys I was sleeved on 7/16/14 I'm down 30pounds 11 if which happen from surgery up untill today

Most of the post here are from people who were sleeved July of 2013, I just didn't want you to think you have not lost like everyone else. Sounds like you are off to a great start!

7.29.13 (I think) started at 288 I'm at 172 now. I've veered from diligence and must return.

I was sleeved on the 24th of July 2013. I am down 200 pounds and I feel fantastic. Getting the sleeve was the best think I ever did. No regrets whatsoever.

July 15th surgery. Incuding pre op, I've lost 70 pounds. When I stall, I usually haven't been taking in enough protein or water.

At a total stall -- still want to lose 39lbs.. But I eat whatever I want

I've lost 70 but stall whenever I don't take in enough protien and water. I still can't eat anything I want. My stomach is picky.

Same boat. I have about 35 or so to go but have no real food limitations. At some point you learn to eat around the sleeve. I need the rigid journalling and measuring and structure. But I feel normal so I try to eat normal and then I don't lose. Also I get my period for two weeks a month and usually don't sweat what I eat but if its going to be that long I'm going to need to discipline myself.

Yeah it's weird - even though I'm not losing people still are telling me I'm looking thinner.. I think it's still shifting and adjusting ?! Time to get a little more serious . I'm bad about my water intake and I still like sweets and candy is a problem ( lol). If I gave up sweets and drank more water it might do the trick .

Thank you!

Any tips on making scale start moving again ? I find that if I can lose a few lbs I usually don't put them back on .. It's just losing now?!

I know I definitely need to get more protein but almost can't choke down any more protein drinks ...

Were you a July sleever? You look fantastic! Exercising? I'm a lot older thsn you, 63, and have lost 77 lbs...but am just starting exercise. Have a bad knee, but now that I'm lighter hope to be more active.

Yes July 8 2013. I have arthritis in my knees and have been doing Piyo DVD. Love them.

I was sleeved july 3, 2013. I have lost 74 pounds but have not lost one pound since May of 2014. I have started jogging 3 times per week, I still write down everything I eat - but can't seem to start the scale moving again. I have been told to not let my calories go below 1100 calories with 80 g protein. After doing that for 7 months - I have reduced my calories to 900 to see if that makes a difference. I refuse not to get to goal!!!!
