December 2015 sleevers progress check

[lesley_vsg 25]

I was sleeved on 12/8 and have lost 40 lbs. The first 30 lbs came off so fast and then i stalled and have slowly lost 10 more. I'm guessing this is normal, I'm not sure! I am doing great with Water intake but not so much with Protein. I cannot drink the shakes, they make me sick. I'm trying to get most of my Protein from food but its hard being that i can only eat a small amount.

Glad to hear everyone is doing good! Keep up the good work!!!!!

I was sleeved on 8th December and have lost 29lb.

Have been slack about Water and Protein, and haven't done any exercise, so can only blame myself that it's not more.

So what is everyone eating now days ????

Hi, all! I was sleeved 12/14. HW 310?, SW 255, CW 230. I felt like it has been slow, but it seems like we are all plugging along around this rate.

I've been struggling a little with trying to continue Protein shakes. Really kind of over them, but love the Protein bang for the buck they offer.

Tonight, I had a piece of cod and some veggies.

I found Enlightened ice cream bars today. 80 calories and 7g protein. On their website, they also have broad bean crisps. That sounds intriguing. I crave crunchy/salty, but trying not to do too many nuts. I did buy some Quest chips, but meh.

I am in line with the other "slow pokes" sleeved Dec 8. 5'11" and just a smidgen under 250 on surgery day, and 221.8 on last scale, so 28-ish pounds gone.

Work folks are seeing a change. It is more than 10% of my body weight gone. That's not nothing. I saw no change on the scale for the last 10 days, but I did feel it in my pants. The muffin tops are melting.

I'm getting enough Protein and I'm improving on Water intake, but its constantly reminding myself to drink.

What I'm eating now is not what I thought I would be. eggs and beef are not good. Fish is great. And undercooked goes down better than well done. 900 calories a day is what I'm getting.

And I'm drunk on half a glass of wine. That's new. And I mean DrUnK.

Seems there is a bit of a 20's trend! I was sleeved 12/28 and am currently down 25. My frustration lies in that I lost 23 in the first three weeks! Its crawling now. I'm thinking its a mixture of the healing, not being cleared yet for exercise, and moving from liquid to solids In a month (soft solids now). We all have gone from 300 to about 700 cals by this point (if I'm way off let me know!!!:-)

So, I will be at ten weeks on Tuesday, and I feel like I live in stall city.

So, I will be at ten weeks on Tuesday, and I feel like I live in stall city.

I was also sleeved 12/08/15 and feel like this stall is kicking my butt. I was 243 day of surgery and now fluctuate between 208-210. I have done the "embrace the stall reset" and it didn't help me. I have been stuck at this plateau for almost 3 weeks. I feel your pain with the slow loser thing. I am religiously on this site and have a bad habit of comparing myself to others who have lost more/faster. On the other hand, as a previous post said, I'm hoping that this slow loss kind of helps with the Hair loss.< /p>

I too have been at the same weight for the last two weeks (although it feels like forever) but i saw a big difference in my body yesterday while out clothes shopping. I went down 4 sizes in pants, so although the scale hasn't moved consistently something is happening.

I think i am happy to have the weight drop slowly as i am not really into exercising as i should be and i am scared of all the excess skin. For today, i did not weigh myself prior to getting in the shower, i am going to keep the high of fitting in an XL instead of a tight 2x! But I am tired of hearing to embrace the stall.

I was sleeved Dec 17 and I feel my weight is slow coming off also. Post Op weight 302. Surgery day 277 and today 242. I can't seem to eat over 500 calories a day. Just seems it should be faster. I think maybe it's age or starting BMI. I guess at least we are losing and I think slow may be better in the long run. ????????

Sleeved 12/17. 276 to 249 today. So 27lbs lost in about 7 weeks. It's hard not to be disappointed or impatient. But I'm doing my best to internalize my diet and lifestyle changes - trusting the process to work out in the end.

I'm going to weigh myself less often going forward.

tera1982, I have the same surgery date and stats that you do! Darn that 208!!! Nice to know someone else in my shoes. Lets hit 207 tomorrow. :-)

Well, sleeve date buddy, I think part of this is we weren't level five morbidly obese people to start with. We were obese, of course, or we wouldn't have been approved by any surgeon for this, but it seemed to me the people with the most to lose, lose faster.

Nevertheless, I feel 96% normal now. Like I haven't had surgery. I can eat what I want now and its okay. The surgery reminds me it has been after 5 bites, but until then, I'm me. Just me.

Curious, did your insurance cover your surgery? Mine did not.
