I have lost 20lbs since surgery (I'm 7 weeks) and 40lbs since I started trying back in January to lose. I think I wasn't eating enough. I only lost 1lb each week for the last 4 weeks. So I'm upping my intake and am already down almost 2lbs!

How much have you upped it to?

I was eating 500-600 calories per day and 60g protien. I'm now trying to do 700-800 calories and 70-80g of protien. The true test will be tomorrow morning when I do my offically weekly weigh in. :)

My doctor told me a minimun of 1000-1200 calories and 70-100grams of Protein. Its hard to get that much in but my weight loss has significantly picked up since I did.

They want me to be around 1000-1200 calories around 4-6 months. Right now I'm 7 weeks. I weighed this week and I'm down 2.6lbs from last week's weigh in

I was sleeved on the 25th of February, this far I have lost 38lbs. I go to the swimming pool twice a week for two weeks now and try to bike 2 to 3 times a week if the weather isn't awful as hell.

Well today is my "two months" surgery anniversary, and I went from 123,3kilograms (around 272ponds) to 102,3kilograms (around 225,5 pounds). I am sure pretty glad about the result and I have been feeling great recently, being able to go back on more intensive biking but also swimming.

Cheers everyone!

So after the big loss with the pre-op diet and the 1st month after surgery was a 14lb loss. I am now only losing about 7lbs a month. I get all my Protein in and exercise 5x a week. Sleeve weight 274 current weight 242. Does this seem like a slow loss compared to most of you? Don't get me wrong I'm stoked!!! I just really wanted to get under 200lbs and at this rate it's not going to happen. Oh I am also 5'10"

What makes you think like it's not going to happen? You are losing weight at your body's comfortable pace. Try not to focus on the pound so much. I know I do the same thing, but I also know that the disappointment when I haven't lost the weight can leave me to eating things that are off of my plan. I get obsessed with how much weight everybody else is losing so that I can compare myself to them. It is a useless waste of time. What do you learn about yourself? Keep up the great work, in six months you may just be under that 200 pound mark you want to be.

3 months out now. Surgery I was at 274 (when I started the process I was 310). When doc told me he thinks I was going to hit "healthy" weight." I'm like what is healthy? He said 165/170. My wife and I nearly laughed him out of the room. This morning I weighed 204. Can't believe it! Doc and nutritionist both said I'm a star patient :) high Protein, lots of Water, low carb,low sugar and work out 6 days a week (averaging 16k steps a day)

This coming from someone who hated the gym. Now I hate it when I miss.

Life is so different now. All good things. I'm so used to what I eat I rarely think about the food I'm "missing". I've been lucky no complications or anything.

Hope you guys are doing great too!!

SuzzyQ - congrats on the loss, don't get discouraged I completely understand your frustration and concern- I too am a slower loser and have had to come to the conclusion that my body is going to do what it wants, all I can do is continue on my path - keep up the good work, the weight will fall off

Jargon - congrats on the loss and almost being at goal [emoji322][emoji322][emoji322][emoji322][emoji322]

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

      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
