Hi I'm 43 and I had surgery March 21st 2012...Losing has been somewhat slow rolling for me. 5 weeks out and I've lost 26 lbs. I read on here about a lot of people having lost at least twice that. Does anyone suppose that maybe because I'm middle age?

I'm 47, had surgery April 4 and I have lost 25 lbs so far. I would ask your Dr to make sure you are doing everything correctly.

Hi Panda

Have you taken your measurements? I have stopped losing as quickly as I was, but I have lost inches. I walk 5 days a week and am starting to get frustrated that I haven't lost anymore weight. But I know I am just impatient! lol

I am afraid of failing also! I lose weight, then to just put it + plus back on. I am thankful for losing the 28 lbs that I have, I don't want to sound greedy. Maybe I will start using the elliptical and see if that makes a difference. Good luck Panda!

Thank you...as of today I'm down 28 lbs also...28/5=5.6...I guess that's not too bad. I am impatient as well. Or I just want to lose like everyone else! Lol!

Hello Panda and Txs, They say it's basically natural for us to worry about not losing weight after going through this...mainly because all other diets have failed but, my surgeon says they've yet to have folks not lose with it. Our bodies do rebell though...so just keep eating the way your nutritionist told you, take your Vitamins, get your Water in and do the exercise and the scale will budge.

I haven't had the surgery yet...but working on it. I"m thinking I may end up with surgery in June depends on how long it takes for the paper work.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
