Sleeved on 7/29. Had the 3 month slow down, went 3 weeks without losing, but in the end did lose weight. BUT for the past 7 weeks I have lost 2-3 lbs. Some may say it is still losing, but really? I am eating 1200 calories a day, tried eating less but that did not work because if made me sick. Before surgery if I ate 1200 calories I would lose 2-3 lbs a week. I am just tired of the counting and measuring and being hungry (I do get hungry) and seeing no progress. I am coming up on my 5 month anniversary. Was 245 pre-surgery, 237 the day be surgery and am about 199 now (changes every day from 198-200). I feel that my body set a new set point at 200 and I am only 1/2 way to goal. Anyone else have months of very little loss and how did you start losing again?

Sounds good

Before the surgery there were certain foods i would eat when i did not feel well, usually toast, mashed potatoes, rice, etc. Although i can eat these, i do not want to stall my weight loss. Has anyone found healthy alternatives?

I sip, but i am 3 months out

I am a slow loser, about 2 a week, but only 3 in the past 3 weeks. I lost 4 inches off my waist the first month. I have lost 15 lbs in past 2 months but not only have i not lost anything off my tummy, the last measurement showed a gain. I carry most of my weight in my middle so i do not know what is happening.

Well said

Took my meds the night of surgery and every night since. No issues.

I was having dizziness as well and my dr said it might happened when my carbs are low

A friend of mine had the surgery 6 years ago and lost so much hair she needed to wear a wig for a year. That scared me, the first 2 months i lost nothing. Now i am noticing alot of hair in the tub after i shower. I have very thin hair already. I am losing my weight slowly, eating 1000 calories a day and getting in my protein so was hoping to avoid losing my hair.

Sounds like acid reflux, r u taking any meds for this?

How did you two lose do much, 20+ lbs a month is amazing. I am losing 10.

Gtrigona1 I was sleeved on 7/29, 2 weeks before you and have lost 25 lbs since surgery so i think u are doing great. If you are so hungry maybe you are not eating enough. If you ate still only eating 600 calories that could be a problem

I need to add that i could only lose 10 lbs and still stay at 35 bmi and get the surgery, knowing that i would lose weight in the 2 week liquid diet i allowed myself to gain alittle while on vacation before the surgery. I lost every thing i gained plus more during those 2 weeks.

I am 50 and started out 100 lbs overweight. I have found that the 34 lbs i have lost makes doing things easier, but my energy is still low. Need to get some blood work done to get my levels, my vit D may be low. I have faith that i will eventually feel the energy surge people talk about.

Gained weight before liquid diet because i ate and drank what i pleased. No problem for me
