August Sleevers-How are you doing??

August Sleevers-How are you doing??
Rach84 replied to Ash_Bri85's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I hit my 6 month mark in a couple of weeks, I have been doing absolutely everything by the book, except I had a terrible naughty month between December and January, I walk daily min 4ks, I eat max 1200 calories which consists of protein, fruits,salads and vegetables, I have one coffee a day with a tiny bit of sugar in it and skim milk it’s the only naughty thing I have. I’ve lost a total of 30 kilos, 66 pounds but it’s so bloody slow. I’ve only gone down one size, I’ve lost this much weight on my own in 2014, admittedly I put it all back on, but I sometimes wonder have I made the right decision? The only thing I’m not hitting is my water goals. Help?? I’m feeling so discouraged. -

I had my surgery the same day 59 pounds so much slower than everyone else, not where I thought I would be but still happy with any loss. -

I’m similar feeling exactly the same! I feel disgusting, disheartened and down! I’m not sure if it’s the surgery that’s made me feel this way but I was more confident 50 pounds ago! I was sleeved 22.8.17 -
Hi Jes how are you? I have a pill crusher and I eat them In 1/2 a teaspoon of organic honey. Only advice I have is get your water intake up, and hit your protein goals! I’m no expert tho I’m losing extremely slowly, I was sleeved 22nd August and lost 53 pounds in total, I’m also walking 3-4 ks a day and doing few weights etc.

Thank you! I don’t look any different and I feel terrible about myself not wanting to go anywhere, is anyone else feeling like this? It must be something to do with the surgery! No one notices I’ve lost any kind of weight, I suppose that what happens the bigger you are the less people notice. -

I was sleeved 22 August, I have lost 52 pound 24 kilos but 6 of those kilos were in my pre opt, I exercise daily and nearly meet my protein goals everyday, I drink a litre of water a day. I have lost weight quicker than this pre surgery, so this is a bit disheartening! I also feel very self conscious, more so than when I was 52 kilos heavier! Haven’t gone down too much in clothes at all just bras! But hoping I can regain my confidence! And my big fat belly seems to not be moving at all, is this normal?? -

Sleeved the 22nd august, When I see everyone’s progress I wonder why I’m so slow at losing I’m doing everything by the book I am now even getting my vitamins in drinking plenty of water even my detox lemon water in the mornings, and walking 3-4 ks at 5.30 am, I’m averaging around 1.5k a week if that, I’m not complaining I’m happy I’m losing but wow it’s slow compared to others, and it’s not like I have a small starting weight I’m still massive!

I’m naughty...... So I don’t take my multi vitamins or my Calcium tablet, they taste gross and make me feel nausea , I’m just praying my hair doesn’t fall out. I had my surgery 22.8.17, I’m down 37 pound 17 kilos I rarely hit my water intake goal I on the odd occasion have sugar and on the weekend I have a drink occasionally. -

I was sleeved august 22nd, I lost 13 pounds pre surgery and a total of 33, a little disappointed I am huge and starting weight was 326 pounds! I'm losing very slow but I'm feeling good just starting to be able to eat more and get my water down and also enjoying working out, I was quite down for a bit but amazing how much better you feel when exercising -
Today marks the day of my surgery 4 weeks ago, I have been in a dark place due to things going on in personal life, but mainly due to what I've done to my body and worried I'll never get my life back, I think the hardest part at the moment is I'm so down and I can't have a drink or party as I normally would when things get you down!, and the number one depressant ATM is the fact I haven't lost one single Kilo in 3 weeks! I'm trying my hardest to stick to my eating plans only protein! Around 600 cal a day, I struggle as I can only have certain break times at work, I'm drinking about 1.5 litres of water a day I can now keep my vitality tablets down! I see people on here losing so much weight what is going on with me? SW-317 CW-295 GW-154

I had my surgery on August 22nd, after getting on the scales a week after Surg I had lost 24.25 pounds. Then I lost nothing not one pound in 3.5 weeks! I'm hoping my stall is over as today when getting on the scales I weigh 3.3 pounds lighter than last week! Fingers crossed! It's nice to see your all going through the same thing I hope one day I can post proud before and after pics, I'm very overweight and seeing age and weight of others that have lost so much I sometimes think something is wrong here too. I'm eating about 700 calories a day SW:319 SD:306 CW: 292 -
