Any FEBRUARY sleevers?!

I think your weight loss is great but if you increase fluids and change up your exercise - it may kick start it faster. I've seen that work for others.

Ok I'll try that!! I struggle the most with fluids for sure!!

Suzzy Q, I've found upping my exercise too much actually has a detrimental effect on my weight loss. I walk 6 days a week but when I start pulling in longer routes too many times I think it just crosses the invisible border where I'm doing too much for what I'm consuming and weight loss slows. Try cutting back to 4 days a week and see if it helps.

Thanks guys for all the pointers!!

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"

My doc says the average loss in first 4 months is 35% of excess weight. Seems like you are about that!

Wow really? 35% I've already way supassed that! By my 4 month mark (little over a week) I will have lost almost 50%!!! Yay!

@@perforce I also experienced this, but I added in a Protein Bar. I try to keep my calorie deficit between 500-800 calories a day, roughly and it keeps my weight loss trucking along.

four months this week, and at almost 40% of excess weight off of me. feels real good!

At the time I couldn't manage much more food and didn't want to raise my calories too quickly. I upped my calories to 900 this week though so we'll see how it goes (can't do Protein Bars, they send my cravings crazy, but natural sources are fine).

I feel your pain! My surgery was on May 9th. I lost 10 lb. during the pre op. diet and now am down another 16 lbs. Thats four and a half weeks, so about 4 lbs a week. i thought I would drop a lot more in the beginning but at least its slow and steady. Stay the course!

Made it to the 180's!!

Hi February sleevers! How is everyone doing? My 6 months post op is coming up 8-17-16.... I cant believe it is almost 6 months already. Feels like yesterday I was going in for surgery. I feel like a better version of myself. Cant wait to see what the next 6 months will be like.

Hi guys, I was sleeved 6 and a half months ago and it's going pretty well.

Fortunately, I had no complications and I have lost around 120 pounds but i think I hit a stall the last 2 weeks so i subscribed in a nearby gym and started exercising.

Approx. 70 pounds left till i reach my goal weight :-)

[LMSWNYC 119]

Michom88 that is Amazing!

I wish I would have had such success! That is Amazing!

I have lost a total of 60 pounds. Hope to drop another 60 to reach my goal weight for my first year. I will still be in the overweight category but not obese. For the second year I plan to drop another 20 pounds and reach my ideal body weight.
