hello maggie - I was sleeeved on May 4th. I am really happy that I had the surgery, and happy with my results.

I am down 31 lbs. It is not as fast as some, but better than I have ever been able to do before.

I find I will have a week of fairly consistant loosing, them plateau or go up a lb or two. I am not sure why but as long as I am loosing I am happy.

Also some weeks I am hungry and others I am not very and unable to eat much at all. I am going to take a chill approach and keep on doing what I am supposed to do- Vitamins, Water, exercise and Protein.

good luck you you!

Mamsinator the same thing happens to me I had my surgery April 14 and as of now I have only lost 50 pounds. I stopped worrying about it when I realized that every time I lose weight I stop losing for like 2 or 3 weeks. Sometimes I feel like that's a coping mechanism for my body to adapt to the rapid weight loss...I've always struggled with my weight I was always dieting and exercising even before the surgery, but after the surgery I've been more than happy with my results. Yes! It is taking its time but as far as I'm concern even if is a pound that I'm losing I don't care any more as long as I'm losing weight. I have started to focus more in my body changes than the scale...as long as you keep following the surgeons instructions with proper diet we will make it to our goals

You're all averaging a 1/2 pound per day loss. Not sure why you think that's slow! 15 pounds in a month--when is the last time you did that on your own? Let's just Celebrate every ounce gone! Woo hoo ladies, we've got this!

Love reading the reminders on how much lost weight is in comparison to our pre-surgery attempts. We get so excited to be a year out and time and the scale can't move fast enough. It's nice to get on here and be reminded that we are doing great and that it's a process! I don't want to wish a year of my life away... I am enjoying this ride! And when I slip and forget that I wanted to enjoy it... I simply come back here and read more posts!! Love this site! We got this!

I was sleeved on June 15, I have got rid of 40 lbs and looking forward to dropping more weight. I am hungry some days and others I have to make my self eat. I am eating almost anything I want except for nuts,seeds, and raw veggies. I have only gotten sick twice from eating things. I am glad everyone is joining the losers bench!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
