I was sleeved on October 18th, 2013 in Tijuana, MX. I returned to the States on October 22nd, 2013; I got on the scale the very next day and noticed I was 228. That was 6 pounds down since surgery; the strange thing to me is this I was eating very little (I still am), but the scale hadn't moved since October 23rd, 2013. NOT EVEN AN OZ!!!!. I just weighed myself right before doing this entry and my weight is 225 pounds; it took another 9 days before the scale moved. I don't know if I should be happy or sad; because I feel somewhat disappointed. How are things with most of you and yes I know some of you guys haven't been sleeved that long.

Have a great day.

Today is my 4 month post surgery date. 50 pounds. I hit 50 a week ago and nothing since. It seems I only lose for about one week a month and the rest is just a fluctuation of ounces.

Am a little discouraged - was sleeved on 10/28 wt 238 and after 5 months have only lost 34 pounds - Had a f/u with my surgeon last week who thought I should have lost about 50 by now....I am glad I've had the surgery and am making progress in the right direction - I feel better but was hoping to have seen more weight loss. Makes me wonder if I am destined to be overweight or if it will take me years to get this weight off. I am lucky if I can lose 4 pounds in a month (sigh...)

I'm losing about 3 to 4 pounds month now. Slow going.

Surgery was 10/22. Recovrry for me was tough for sure..had a double stricture for a few months that worked itself out, so I have lost at a faster rate than some because of that.

Starting weight was 286

Surgery weight was 279

Current weight is 191.

My starting weight was 407 and I have lost 67 pounds so far and my weight is 340 pounds and my current pants size is a 46 and I started at a size 56 before my surgery . things are going well so far

Do you track your food diary on My Fitness Pal? My surgery was 10/22/13, my HW 260, SW 252, CW 198. I feel like my pouch has stretched and it's taking more to satisfy my hunger.

Do you track your food diary on My Fitness Pal? My surgery was 10/22/13, my HW 260, SW 252, CW 198. I feel like my pouch has stretched and it's taking more to satisfy my hunger.

I did track. Up until last week. I was really struggling with what I thought was an acceptable caloric goal, because my nut won't give me one. They practice the hunger trust model. So, I took a giant leap of faith and decided to trust my sleeve and that the surgery did it's job.

One thing that I discovered in this is that my body is now at the point of needing healthy fats. Yesterday I had a full fat yogurt, half an avocado, 2 servings of cashews, at least announce and a half of reduced fat cheese...you get the idea.

Try adding in a healthy fat to each meal you have. That will keep you full longer and feeling satisfied way longer. I'm able to go up to 5-6 hours as long as I add in a healthy fat source.

You are welcome to come find me and add me on. Myfitnesspal....I haven't tracked for a week but everything up to that point is there. Or add me on Instagram...I've been posting pics of my meals for those following me on there...I'm gomekast on both apps.

Here is what I've been doing food wise..I'm a creature of habit and cook in batches, so I tend to eat the same things for a while.

Breakfast-Quest bar and dannon light n fit Greek yogurt.

Snack-cashews..if I need it

Lunch-half an avocado sprinkled with verde salsa topped with 3 oz tuna salad(made with aprox 3T ff miracle whip and 2T relish)

Dinner-half a chicken breast burger, half cup cottage cheese, two strawberries.(sometimes skip cottage cheese and add in half of an egg muffin I have made up)

If I get hungry later after dinner, I will snack on some planters brand Peanut Butter chocolate spring mix I found at target. It's a yummy treat.

Hope some of this helps...

My stats are HW 286 SW 279 CW 189
