3 Weeks Post Op and only down 17 pounds. The majority of that is water weight becuase I lost it the first week. I have only lost 4 pounds since week one. I just seem to be doing something wrong. I am probably eating 500 cal and I know I am not drinking enough. Maybe 30 oz a day.

OMGosh I just found out I'm only 15 lbs. away from having a "normal" BMI, I thought I was 25 lbs. away...SO with that said I'm changing my goal weight to my normal BMI weight (according to my height) and will still have an ultimate goal weight as well... I'm soooo excited!!!!

I'm starting to keep a food journal to find out exactly how many calories I'm taking in. I think my body is in starvation mode seeing I'm not losing weight but I am losing inches. I mean come on 1 turkey meatball 3 times a day is not much but we'll see

Still on my 3 week stall. It's been 7 days and no weight loss.

Oh as of today im weighing 248. Total weight loss of 83 lbs. Im almost 7 months out. I will be 7 months April 28th

when I weighed in last week I was 374lbs, hopefully I have lost more weight this week .I will know 2morro when I weigh In..

: schadenfreude....saw someone who told me last year that I "eat like an animal" and that's why I can't lose weight. She's packed on a good 30 lbs herself since! Karma!

On a totally not weight loss-related topic, I had a really fun first date last night...this one might have some potential...

Wow..time is flying by. It has been 12 weeks(3months) and I am down 39lbs. This is amazing. I am at 200.4...can you believe I am about to say GOOD BYE TO THE TWO'S and enter ONDERLAND for life! I can honestly say this is one of the best choices I have made for myself. There is know way I could be going through such a huge transistion in my personal life and still remain losing weight without the Creator first and then this sleeve! To all my sleeve sisters! keep on keeping o...

Gained half a pound this week. Really need to get back on track. I did walk 14.5 miles total this week, so maybe I am building muscle. But I do need to make healthier food choices

Yay me. I hit my 50 pound weight loss mark today!!!

I was denied wls this time because the insurance company did not have my 5yr weight history!

Ok surgery is tomorrow... just return from the hospital for my pre-op. I am ready to put this weight behind me. Have to report at 8am heading to the store to get some jello and broth.yum I will keep you updated after I awake from getting sleeved.

NP said she would have booked my surgery if I had lost more weight. I'm kind of bummed. After debating her about my extreme hunger she prescribed Phentermine. Wish me luck...

I'm 12 days po. I hear of people losing 20# pounds by now. I have only lost 2 to 3 pounds. I'm discouraged. Has anyone else had slow weight loss at first? Did it get better?

Losing weight fast is not as fun as I thought lol I am shrinking and can't buy clothes because I will just be out of them quickly. But the upside is I am looking gooood again

Ok I'm now down to 212 thx to my stomach flu, not the way I wanted to lose the weight but hey I'll take it, today is so much better, well so far

Hey I'm back. This month is keeping me busy, sorry I haven't been on here much. I've been cooking and baking. Yes, I have been good too. I weighted myself at my parents house on the 14th and I'm down another 4 pounds. I love this sleeve. Keeping myself busy. Trying not to even think of food and for me thats hard especially at this time of year. I made some of Shelly's fudge, mmmmmmmm those things are wonderful. Sweet but wonderful. Can only have one small piece.. I...

My trainer worked me on free weights today and now I feel like a weight lol

I AM NORMAL. Today, BMI calculator puts me in the normal weight range. I am numb at with this milestone success.

Weight staying around the same thing, but my body fat percentage is now below 40!!! Awesome!

I haven't been on here for awhile. While my weight loss has been slower than I would like. I have no regrets. I have had no issues knock on wood... I have had 3 fills since my surgery on Oct. 22. I am now wearing a 16 which I thought would never be possible. I still have a ways to go but I'm fine with that.

I miss the days of seeing weight loss every week. Now at least I maintain, instead of gaining.

Thursday I go in for a complete unfill! I pray i feel better but im so scared ill gain weight. Please send your positive vibes my way. I've worked so hard - i just cant imagine my life fat again. :/

I was a little bummed that I did not lose any weight these past two even though I am at the gym 6 days a week and staying under 1200 calories. I have 6.5cc in my band and I am still getting a litte hungry but I will keep pushing!!
