Down 52 lbs and holding

[Frikinanni 17]

Hey all! I got my sleeve on 11.8.17. As soon as I got onto soft foods I stopped losing for a couple of weeks and now I feel after dropping my initial 50 lbs i am stuck again. It’s been maybe 2 weeks and I’ve seen no changes. Is this common?

I may be comparing myself to others I know who have had it done and didn’t have issues losing early after their surgery.

wow - great job. I haven't gone through the process yet but I hope to have 50 gone 3 months after surgery. What was your surgery weight?

[Frikinanni 17]

I started at 347. I was soo excited when I finally stepped on the scale and saw I was under 300!

Hi there! I had my gastric sleeve done back in 7.28.16, my starting weight was 257 and I’m down to 140. Have you tried walking? I have become very active and it helps me to continue to lose weight. Also, how are your food choices?? Try and eat more veggies and fruits, they’re easily digested. I’ve sorta been following a clean diet too, I feel it’s been working for me so far.

Thanks for the advice! I currently eat no fruit, but do eat veggies with Greek yogurt as my snack. I have been walking more and riding my bike around. Started back up at the gym, but I haven’t been able to make it yet. Until I do, I’ll try and just step it up then. Thanks!

Hi, everyone seems to lose weight at their own pace. I was a slow loser, but lost 100 pounds in a year around 30 before surgery and 70 afterwards. Have patience, keep to the program. Don’t get discouraged. You can do it.

@Frikinanni

yep, looks like you are definitely comparing to OP

KNOCK IT OFF

never,never, ever compare your stats/progress to

others. you will drive yourself crazy. you have lost

52 lbs - party dance, party dance!!

we all loose weight within different time periods.

that's ok. continue to eat right, drink, Protein etc -

you will arrive at the finish line. No hurry! - but

you must keep following the "rules" for the rest of

your healthier, happier, longer life.

i know you will be successful!! good luck
