hi, I had the sleeve in feb and have only lost 49lbs in 7 months! I am eating well, exercising, iv tried strength training, low carb, more cals, less cals, more protein, more water etc I am 39 and all bloods are clear. im taking my vitamins and I also take 10mg of Lexapro daily could this be why?? its driving me crazy and I should be 100lbs down by now

How long ago did u have the op? Unfortunately there's nothing you can do but live with it but I also had a rough horrible first year it does get easier and you will feel normal again maybe your miserable as your trying to follow the rules and your sleeve isn't ready yet don't like shakes don't drink them can't get fluids in well it doesn't have to be water find something u can drink preferable sugar free I drink tea u have been very ill with pneumonia and ur blaming the sleeve get lots of vitamins into u and take it slow u will feel better soon

I feel your pain I'm at 1 year out this week lost 77lbs have 30to goal in the last six months have only lost 10lbs I feel like my golden opportunity is now over and il never reach goal

Three of my friends got bands with that doctor they all lost some weight it was a successful op and no complications but they all have had to pay another five grand to get the bands removed they had many health complications and never got to goal it wasn't the doc but the band it doesn't work

Does anyone wish they were still fat from a vanity point of view? I know I'm healthier and I'm only halfway but I'm already noticing the empty hanging skin,when I was bigger it was filled out and plump! iv less confidence now and trying to hide it in clothes is a nightmare excerise only does so much, I know u can fix the stomach legs etc but what about the bum and back,am I facing a lifetime of hiding skin and feeling disgusted and self conscience then the scars of multiple surgerys to partially fix it?

Not lost for a month iv only lost 65lbs total I hope to god I'm not done iv 40 left to go why is it only me of all these ppl I cry most weeks

I went through the excate same thing I wanted drastic fast weight loss after this extreme op which seems to happen to everyone here well I lost 7lbs the first month and maybe a lb a week after that I cried I ranted and I mentally gave up but here I am 9 months later 60lbs down is it slower than a snail yep iv 40lbs to goal and haven't lost in 6weeks there's nothing I can do but wait but iv lost 60lbs!!!! And kept it off even when I thought I'd failed and sabotaged myself

Down 60 44 left its so slow and frustrating

Wow ur husband is being incredibly selfish you are being a brilliantly supportive wife but u need to tell him that other conversations need to be had that don't revolve around him ie Fiancial family issues etc also take ur kitchen back it's not fair on you didn't stuff ur face till bursting

Are u at goal?

My weight loss has been so slow al along and after 8 moths completely stopped I was always striving to meet goals of 25bmi and weight of 150lbs goal weight but instead of beating myself up I can now wear clothes from normal shops and can move easier and look better so my question is should I be happy at this weight 197 and just give up and live my life in maintaince?

I hate all the ads and it keeps freezing

Thanks

Yes

I have no idea why iv only lost so little I wish I knew!

Unfortunately there is a small percentage of us who don't melt away and have to struggle to lose every tiny ounce

Hi I was wondering when did the honeymoon phase end for you and when did u stop losing?

Well done I had my sleeve same time as you and iv only lost 50

I'm 7months out iv never gained iv stayed the same a few weeks in a row BUT iv never lost anymore than 2lbs at a time iv only lost 50lbs it's been so slow

I'm Amanda 38 mother to 5kids ages 22 18 10 3 and 2 I'm from Dublin Ireland and married my hubby in Vegas. I'm sleeved 7 mths self pay in Poland only 49 lbs down not happy about that .I work nights as I don't believe in having children and having someone else raise them and I love to read and watch old movies, I like exercising now lol I have 2 parents but we don't get along and my mother in law hates me!

What a great story glad it turned out ok, how are things with you now?

Hi I am coming to rant iv had the sleeve for 6months and I'm just about giving up iv had enough, so much about the sleeve no one tells us about,you read about 100lbs off in 4months stories and think it's going to be me. Iv had all the negative side effects without the benefits,for example iv had severe hair loss which only comes with extremely fast weight loss iv lost only 40lbs in 6 months iv had constipation so bad iv torn my anus so badly I had to go to hospital iv had constant hunger iv had constant dumping I can't eat or drink socially anymore I have hanging skin iv lost almost zero inches except from my boobs and ass which are gone every single lb I have lost was through exercise and diet I can't eat much at all yet I don't lose and as much as I'm not that kind of person I hate listening to stories of iv never exercised and lost 100lbs in 3months or I eat the same just a little less I want to cry with jealousy,I have played by the rules and done everything right but now I'm done I stopped going for walks and am eating slider food and I'm up to my eyes in debt cos of this operation,any advice is welcome

Thanks for all the positive feedback lots of great points I'm irish I love a good moan lol

I just didn't expect to still have to wear loose clothes to hide my saggy ass and back boobs! When u pair that with constant hunger having zero energy and tearing my ass every time I have to poop and my hair falling out so bad I'm going to have to wear a hat for the next year and becoming a social recluse cos I can't go out to eat anymore and can't enjoy food anymore loosing my boobs and the frustratingly slow weight loss only 50lbs in 7 months then yes maybe my expectations were too high

Sure I'm glad I can wipe my ass now but even though I can wear shorts short sleeves etc I can't because I'm gross I'm hiding the same way cos of skin
