I am doing great, thanks! It's almost scary how normal I feel. I can tolerate any type and consistency of food. I definitely am eating much less, however, my weight loss seems to be stalled. I have lost 16lbs since surgery and honestly was hoping for a bit more. My aches and pains have been gone since about week 3 but still feel like I should proceed with caution when lifting/working out...just mainly walking.

Yes, Babbs, it was lower than most. It was 35. I had the surgery for health reasons, (diabetes and hypertension). I am not per say measuring my food but definitely eating Protein first and getting my Fluid in.

Hi, I had my VSG on May 6. I would love to hear from some of my fellow May sleevers... How are you doing now?

I'm really not exercising much...just getting up and walking around more

Hi Lellashine, I too have been slow losing. I was sleeved on May 6 and have only lost about 16lb. to date (that's just a little over 2 lb. a week). I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong or right and didn't know if this is normal? How are you doing now?

Thanks for the supporting words... I guess I am just worried that I am able to eat regular food already and am wanting to eat more and more. I have no problems with any food and just don't want to let that get out of control! I see others losing 30-40 lbs. by 5 weeks. I know I cant compare myself to others, just wondering if any others have had a slow start?

Hi, I am new to the forum. I was sleeved May 6, and just feel like I haven't lost much weight - I'm only down 16lb. since the surgery. I don't know if this is common or not
