November sleevers! 6 weeks out and feeling discouraged!

Tomorrow is 6 weeks since my sleeve and I lost 25 pounds. I think I should have lost more. I saw Family over the holidays and no one noticed any weight loss! Feeling discouraged! I hope I'm not doing anything wrong.

7 weeks 38 pounds down

That is amazing!! You look great!!!

I had surgery 11/19 , HW 282, SW 239, CW 221 only 18 pounds since surgery. I am not exactly happy with my loss either but I am taking as a clue to exercise more and hit my protien and water harder.

What you have loss sounds fine to me. It will come off you just have to be patient. I am 8 weeks out, I have lost 30 pounds since surgery on Nov 4th. I am more than happy about my loss. And thankful for what I have lost so far.

No need to worry, just keep on doing what the doctored ordered. Your body CAN NOT stay the same weight if you are overweight and eating less than a thousand cals a day. I know for the first 12 weeks or so I was eating a lot less than that and I had stalls that lasted for 3 weeks and more. I am a slow loser, but it did come off in the end. Later on I had to make some changes, but really if you follow plan, you will lose most of it.... stalls and all. Don't forget to enjoy your life, and feel proud for what you lose... however much it is. This is not a race to some finish line... there is no finish line, this is for life!

You doing great! Go by rules with you Docter we will see! November 19 6 weeks also!

It seems like we are all on track! I was supposed to see my dr and nutritionist tomorrow but they cancelled because if the snow. I have to wait another week :( I wanted to go through my diet and see what they thought. I'm still going to weigh tomorrow and hope to hit the 30 Mark but I highly doubt it. But..in going to keep following the plan and move on! I wake up everyday so happy I did this! I know it will eventually come off!:)

Just weighed myself and I am 29lbs down!! I am very happy with it. My goal was 30 for today so I got very close!!

That sounds great, Alysa! I can't see tickers , etc. on my phone... Is that 29lbs since surgery day? It seems like you're having great success!

Thank you!! Got to 31 as of today!!! It has been 7 weeks as of yesterday. I must say I'm still not getting enough protein and water. It's still not easy!!

I'm 9 weeks and 3 days out! I still have problems getting all my protein. I do hit 60 grams most days. I'm down 42 lbs. Seems like I'm losing slow, but how much would I have lost on my own? Not near that!! So overall I'M HAPPY!!

Who was able to start at a gym and work out? I had my surgery on December 4, 2013 and just started back at the gym I am only 5 weeks out of surgery but want to start working on my stomach and abs. Is it to early for this? Also I had just been able to increase the amount I ate but now cant even get a full cup of yogurt down without filling full again or some discomfort. Has this ever happened to anyone else?

I'm 7 weeks out and still can't eat a cup of yogurt. I never finish anything but then I'm hungry abt 2 hours later. I'm trying not to graze. As for the exercise, I started back last week. I didn't feel completely healed until 6 weeks but I think that's how long it takes.

Thanks for answering back. I have only been walking on the treadmill. I feel weak and want to start machines for some strength again. Im glad im not the only one who cant eat a cup of yogurt. The doctors pushed me to eat pureed foods earlier then recommend bc I was losing weight to fast.

Anyone have any suggestions on how to increase liquids im lucky if I can consume 30 ounces. Yesterday was only 22

I'm 6 weeks out and have been to the gym every other day since week 2 or 3. I just walk on the treadmill or work on the elliptical.



I feel like I can eat a good cup to a cup and a half of "soft foods" like yogurt, pudding, etc... but if I'm eating solid chicken or something like that, I can only eat about 2-3 ounces and 1/2 cup of veggies. I average about 700 calories, 70 gm of Protein per day and I get more than 64 ounces of Water in every day but it is a push.



I'm down 46 pounds since surgery and couldn't expect more....
