Im only 8 months out , and I’m losing weight slowly . My twin sister got her gastric sleeve a month after & she already lost 100 pounds in 7 months . Is anyone going through the same thing I am ?

Started weight: 290
Current weight: 229

as long as you're sticking closely to your plan, the weight will come off, whether fast or slow. I was a slow loser, but I lost over 200 lbs altogether. Just make sure you're not overdoing it somewhere - if not, if you're on plan, then I wouldn't worry about it. Your rate of weight loss is what it is, depending on many factors. As long as you're sticking to your program, the weight will come off.

How many time do you work out a week ?

I do work out, but I'm not a gym rat. I end up doing some kind of cardio twice a week (usually Zumba, WERQ, water aerobics, or a stationary bike). I also do gentle yoga a couple of times a week.

You lost 200 pounds over the year ? How much you weight now if you don’t mind me asking .

I started out at 372 lbs

I lost 57 lbs pre-op (through both my six-month supervised diet that my insurance required, and through the two-week liquid diet that my surgeon required). The rest of it took me 18 months to lose.

I got down to 138 at one point, but I've since bounced back a bit (they say a 10- to 20-pound gain is very common after you hit your low point). I seem to have stabilized in the 147-151 range - I've been here for quite awhile. I try hard to keep it under 150, though. When my weight creeps over 150, it's all hands on deck - I become a real stickler about following my program until I'm back under 150.

I am unfortunately at a stand still with exercising. So i'm re-evaluating what I eat, how often and fluids. What i think and what I've been doing are not lining up. So i'm going back to basics and introducing more protein and less everything else. Here's hoping for us both to continue to lose
