Hi my name is Brenda, I was sleeved on March 12, 2012 in Tijuana bc my health insurance does not cover bariactrics. I am 5'2" and my starting weight was 227lbs. I am currently 6wks 5 days post sleeve. I lost rapidly in the first 3 wks after surgery and dropped 25lbs very quickly and was happy to be at 202. Since then I have fluctuated between 202 and 199 for 5 wks. I really don't get it. I am reading here about all the people that have dropped 40, 50, and 100 or more lbs. I'm trying hard not to get too discouraged but I just keep thinking what if this is it for me, that I spent 5000 and now what. I try and eat mostly protein, limit my carbs little to no sweets and I have been walking but I must confess it has not been steady every night. I do not have at thyroid bc I had it removed in 2005 due to thyroid cancer, however my current thyroid numbers are within acceptable limits. Any ideas????

Thank u to all that replied to my topic. I will take to heart the advice given me and keep my chin up. I was already using my fitness pal but will start trying to do better with my intake of fluids and keeping track of the exact amounts I am taking in as well as exercising on a more regular basis. Once again thank everyone! Brenda
