IM down 52 pounds

I have been taking all of the vitamins - yes. I thought if I got all of my protein and vitamins in every day faithfully that the hair loss might not have happened to me, but it has. I can't wait for it to stop. It's been about a month now.

I'm down only 40

Only 40?? You started at a much lower BMI than a lot of us. Don't knock your loss!

47 lbs. Size 20 to a size 14.

I am 4 months out and have lost 58 lbs so far.

Feeling a little defeated, it's been 8 weeks and I have only lost 23 lbs. I had an unbearable 2-3 week stall but thankfully that's over. Trying to stay positive but it's hard when my expectations are so high.

Three months Out 58 pounds gone. Not exercising as I should, will be working on that.

Feeling a little defeated, it's been 8 weeks and I have only lost 23 lbs. I had an unbearable 2-3 week stall but thankfully that's over. Trying to stay positive but it's hard when my expectations are so high.

I read something that someone posted before my surgery, something that stuck with me. The post was titled "Rules to follow after your sleeve" or something along those lines. Anyway, the very first "rule" was to eliminate the word "only" from your vocabulary. I have tried very hard to follow that rule, and I think I'm much happier for it. Every time I want to say "I only lost a pound this week!" or "I've only lost 8 pounds this month!" I instead eliminate the "only". Those sentences become suddenly very optimistic: "I lost a pound this week!" and "I've lost 8 pounds this month!"

Or, think of it this way if you will: Would you have lost 23 pounds in 8 weeks if you hadn't had your sleeve done? Or would you have stayed the same, or even gained? Don't ever feel defeated in this. It is a journey, not a destination.

A few days shy of the 2 month mark and I'm at 32 lbs gone. I like this topic because I'm sure, like myself, so many of us wonder if we're losing at the pace we should.

Thanks! Good advice. ????

Just checking in on you ladies and gents...

Im down 60 as of today whats your numbers.......

54 lbs in 3 months! !

Surgery was May 2nd. Down 45lbs. Surprised how quickly I felt like myself. I adore the new me!

I'm down 46lbs since June 5th

Surgery the beginning of May- 5'4", starting weight #221, currently #158. Off all BP meds! I eat every 3 hours- protein first, then veggies, fruit/healthy carbs. Walk 3-4 miles, 4 days/week. Keep meaning to start back at the gym for weights, but working full time & never seem to make it. I promised myself I would start in September, and now it's here- no excuses!

Down 44 pounds, and off Crestor now! Woot!
