Soooo Frustrated!

[md071273 1]

Hi my fellow sleevers! It's been awhile since I've been on this site. I'm 7 months out and only lost between 30-35 lbs, really??? I am still following what I'm supposed to, eating healthy, exercising. I work 4-10s and on my feet 95% of the time. I've seen my surgeon last month and said that it really varies from person to person...I only want to loose about 30 more pounds but with the pace that I am going, it seems like it'll take me forever!!! I haven't really been to my support group because I am just frustrated/ disgusted way beyond belief. Some people that had this done, don't even exercise nor eat healthy and they still loose the weight!

So are there people out here going thru the same thing that I am going thru right now? I am just way sooooooooooooooo very frustrated, PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

First thing...dont be so hard on yourself, you are down 35 lbs right? Sure, it isnt as fast as some of us but like they say...everyone is different. You seem to have a lot less to lose than most and sometimes weight loss is just slow...I know it sucks but look at the positives, less saggy skin, not having to buy new clothes every month etc. How much are your eating? How about Water intake? I lost really quickly but now it is slowing the last 35 for me too. I try to mix it up, add more calories, change the workout routine when I have a stall and it seems to work. Best of luck to you and be easy on yourself, stress doesnt help weight loss either. Hugs to you!

Hi I'm new to the forum but not to Sleeve. My one year anniversary is coming up June 30 and I too have only lost 30 - 35 lbs. I have went as far as having my stomach tested to see if it has stretched. Lol on Tuesday I went to see the nutrientist to see what is going on.

One thing she said everyone's body reacts differently. Two I was not getting in enough Protein and was not exercising enough.

So I'm going to try to improve on those two but I feel u. I am very frustrated as well. All the friends I mafia that had surgery same month as me had lost 80, 90, 65, and even s 100. In my support im the only one stlll in the 200, they all in

onederland. But my doc said its good for people like me and you because we should have less saggy skin. Maybe we can help each other.

I'm so sorry to hear this! It much be very difficult for you! First off, congrats on getting to your halfway point! That is a big accomplishment and shouldn't be pushed aside!

In the meantime, I would focus on your Water and your Protein. As long as you are getting those in (and your vitamins!) then you are doing everything that you can do. Unfortunately, your body just wants/needs more time to drop the weight.

((hugs))
