wow this is so good for everyone. I to am now a slow loser, lol. I started at approximately 230 and am now 185. I lost the first amount of weight quite quickly, and the last 5-6 weeks maybe 5 or so pounds, but a loss is a loss. I am happy if it keeps coming off. Well done sleevers

OMG, I am the same, I have lost about 15kilos and now for the last 3 weeks nothing. I completely get how you are feeling. I am about 7 weeks out and am so frustrated. I have no idea what you are doing wrong. I would love some ideas also. I am still drinking the Optifast x 2 times a day, and then dinner I am having something light. Please help it is so frustrating

Congratulations, you have done really well. Keep up the great work. I love seeing these pick as yes it is an inspiration

I have been sick 3 or 4 times in 5 weeks. I am not eating anything bad, I have mashed vegies one of the days. I think that I ate them to fast, thats all I can put it down to. 5 weeks out and I am doing two Opti a day and frozen yogurt ice block for dinner. My Doc just said to eat slow and watch the amount.

well done Were you exercising heaps to lose this so quickly? What a great job, I have lost nearly 15 Kg's in 6 weeks, I hope that I can get the great results that you have done. ******Congratulations******

I am the same, it took me a good week and a half to really start taking a good amount of water. You have to remember that your stomach is swollen d=from the surgery, Just do tiny sips, have a bottle next to you, so you know how much you are drinking daily. I am now 2 weeks post surgery and can now almost do 1.5 litres. I am getting there, but don't push yourself.

I am exactly lik you sleeve master, well done for the weight loss .

Well done mekhimom congratulations :D

Hi healthygal, I just wanted to answer one part of the question, "why not just do all those same things with all of your stomach intact?" I did all these things with my stomach in tact, and lost no weight. I did 8 months of boot camp, whilst having my diet monitored by a personal trainer, numerous attempts of diets did not work for me. Unfortunately, nothing changed. I did not go into this halfheartedly, this was a chance for me to regain life - confidence, health and happiness. I am only 7 days post op - But I needed this as a tool to assist me with my weight loss journey. You answered one thing for yourself here "I'm a nurse and know what I'm looking at if I stay at this weight." Good luck with everything, whatever you decide, you will make the right choice for you. Everyone is different.

Thanks for the tips I am struggling big time

I have so much gas, I cannot take in enough liquids, and I am exhausted, fingers crossed I get better soon - well done everyone

SURGERY TODAY -SO EXITED Goodluck to my fellow sleevers today, lets begin our journey to health, happiness and freedom. xx
