I am. May 22. Down 32. Dr says its slow.

I was sleeved the same day. I am a slow loser too. But I am down 29 lbs. I get frustrated but when was the last time any of us lost weight? It will only get better. I have found that the more I move the more I lose. Log every bite into my fitness pal or a program like it. Get a pedometer and get 10000 steps a day. That is the only thing that helps me lose.

Musiclover and shelprice I was sleeved May 22 and have been stuck at 27 lbs since the 3rd week. I am upping my activity. Not sure what is going on.

Ok calling all May 22nd sleeves. I am going on 7 weeks and have only lost 27 lbs. And that is the lowest weight. I go between 183 and 186. I started at 210. I need some encouragement. I eat right. I drink my fluid. I am moving more by using a fit bit and taking more steps. I don't actually exercise. I get my water and TRY to get my protein. No breads, no sweets, no high fat foods. I keep my calories between 800 and 1000 a day. I am 5 ft 1 in. I don't have a robust program. No NUT. They never measured me before surgery. When I go see my Doc they don't even weigh me. There are no support groups. You guys are my life line HELP!! I am however down from wearing 2x scrubs to work to 1 x.

I buy those rotisserie chickens from HEB and eat the white meat without the skin. They are so moist and tender. Dry chicken just balls up and makes me hurt. Also had some that was slow smoked and it was juicy. I used to soak my chicken in buttermilk overnight before I fried it. I was thinking about doing that and then wrapping it in foil and baking. Maybe I can find some sort of stuff to coat it in that is healthy.

When were you sleeved? I have had a bad tummy my whole life. Lots of abdominal pain and diarrhea. Since this surgery I have had more of a normal tummy. Maybe because I am not eating much fat. Also I had my gallbladder out at the time of surgery. I think you should ask your Doc about this. Good luck.

I am sorry but if I were in New Orleans I am not sure I could do this. We usually come there every 3 months but I have been staying away. The fact I can't eat an oyster loaf at casamentos is killing me LOL.

Good job. I was sleeved May 22 as well. 210 to start. 196 day of surgery. 183 today. It seems slow but at least it is coming off. I have to be honest though. It is harder than I thought. I have to make myself make good choices. Old habits die hard. Glad to have all of you to talk to.

I was sleeved May 22 nd. Two of my incisions have stitches sticking out. I want to swim but am worried about the wicking effect.

I am now almost 6 weeks out and I am still weighing every time I pp. every time I poop. When I take my mascara off. Before my shower. After my shower. In the middle of the night. My scale loss has been so slow but everyone is commenting and my clothes are too big. I just keep thinking I will get on there and wham 10 lbs gone.

I was sleeved 5.22. I started out at 210. I am 5"1". My surgery day weight was 196. Now I am at 185 one day 187 the next, 185 the next. That has been the way it has been the whole time. So I guess a total of 26 lbs. It has been much slower than I thought. I do get my water and protein in. I am eating the right foods although I think I started on solids a little sooner than I should have. I have never had any trouble eating. I am having that "full" feeling and I stop when I get there. I am so fearful of that over full feeling people talk about. At first I was not eating enough calories so I try to get at least 800-1000 each day. I don't like how slow it is going but I know in the end I will eventually lose the weight.

I was sleeved May 22. I have lost 26 lbs. once I started getting my protein and water and increased my calories to 800-1000 I lost weight. If I eat breads or go over 1000 cal I will gain. It's such a fine line. This journey certainly does not resemble anything I was told prior to the surgery. But I am glad I did it. I know that in time I will lose the weight. I will not give up.

Well before the scale wasn't moving. Now I am losing a lb a day. I am 5 weeks out and as of today have lost 26 lbs total. My weight loss has been slow.

I went from 600 -800 up to around 1000. I added a whey protein shot which is 180 cal and a muscle milk which is 170. That protein shot has 42 gms.

I have finally started losing weight. Have been losing a pound a day for the past couple of days. I did up my calories some.

Talked to the nurse today. She says I am not eating enough. I have been real nervous to eat and my net calories have been between 500 and 700. She said to up my calories.

I am frustrated. Starting weight was 210. Day of surgery was 196 but I really had a bad tummy that morning and some of that was fluid loss. Now I am at 188-190. I was sleeved may 22. This sucks. I am logging all my food. I know I don't get enough protein but I am trying. Trying to get 10000 steps a day. I drink my water. I get between 500 and 900 calories a day. However my face is thinner, my clothes are loose. People tell me they can tell.

Oldskool. Don't worry. I thought that too and my surgeon showed me my pictures. My stomach is tiny. The best thing you can do it use an app called my fitness pal and keep up with what you eat. Keep your calories between 400 and 800. Drink water a lot so you don't get so hungry. Your sleeve will work.

I was sleeved May 22. I lost 14 lbs before and 8 after and nothing at all for the last couple weeks. I am so disappointed.

I went to my Dr today and he said my body is in starvation mode and holds on to every calorie. I had been having some wine at night. He told me no more than a glass. He told me a lady sleeved my same day had lost 45 lbs. I was so depressed but then I weighed when I got home and I was a couple pounds down. So I am on the wagon. Tomorrow is my birthday and I can have soft food so I am going to my favorite place and have some wonderful grilled fish.

I feel hungry some too.

I also weigh all the time. I know it is not good. When I lose weight I am so happy. When I gain I beat myself up. I am only 2 weeks out. Maybe I won't think about it so much later. Right now I think I am trying to convince myself the surgery worked.
