Why do you need to lose it faster? You have come so far and that is amazing, but we need to remember we didn't put this weight on overnight. It is healthier to lose slower, especially now that the bulk (no pun intended! :P ) of your weight is gone. Just keep doing what you are doing and you will get there. Remember if you were doing this the "traditional" way of straight diet and exercise without the benefit of the sleeve, you would most likely be a lot further from your goal than you are now.

Enjoy your success! You'll get there!!

Thanks! I know ive come a long way I just get like this now and then. Im a little impatient. I try to set smaller goals for myself instead of big ones that I wont be able to reach, which seems to be working a little better. Its just crazy how 2 weeks can go ny and I wont lose anything and then I will lose 5 lbs the 3rd week. Just so weird to me. I like consistency! Lol

I know! My first week following surgery I was "only" down 2lbs. I would read these posts from people who lost something crazy like 20lbs and was "what the hell!" lol!

Seriously though, you are doing great! Don't sweat it. Well, on second thought, sweating is good! :D

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
