Let's Check In November 2012 Sleevers!

[almam 61]

Hello all you November sleevers! Has anyone really slowed down at this point? I have so much more to lose and at the rate I'm losing at now it will take a VERY long time to get there. I'm stressing because I hear that most weight is lost within the first year after surgery. I'm only losing 1-2 lbs per week (sometimes less) and still need to lose 60 more. Are any of you in this situation? Should I try to go back liquids for a bit or increase calories for a bit? I hear suggestions for both' date=' just don't know which works.[/quote']

That's what I'm losing a wk on average. I thought that was good. Is it not? I'm 16 lbs from what dr. Bell had said I would lose. I'm not sure how much I should lose for my height. Ugh going in next month and will discuss it eith him!

We are very similar stats - I am not sure what I am losing a week but I am happy overall. I tend to stay at the same weight or even go up a pound and then suddenly I am down 2-3. I think our bodies are still in adjustment mode.

Highest weight & surgery weight: 224 (I was on prednisone which caused me to gain my preop weight back right before surgery - they almost cancelled it!)

Current weight: 164

I am not totally clear on what my doctor's goal weight for me is. I am going to nail him down on that at my 6 month follow-up. I know the BMI charts for me (I am 5'3") say 135. I can't ever imagine being that small. I would be fine at 150. We'll see.

Congrats everyone!

My weight is still coming off about the the same....I average 2-2-1/2 lbs. a week. I was sleeved 11/6/12. Starting weight 251, current weight 177. I'm 5'2". Haven't had any major stalls. It's just been slow and steady. Bought a fitbit device 10 days ago and have been doing 10,000 steps a day, which entails either a morning walk or an evening walk. I'm hoping that will result in a good loss when I weigh on Sat. Congrats to all.

Congrats on your weight loss! I'm 5'0" so I'm shorter. I don't think I could ever weigh 135# myself. I already had my family physician tell me that plastic sx is a must:-( I kind of figured that...so I'm guessing some weight will be lost there too. My mom had a Tummy Tuck and her back done and she lost 20-25# from the sx. So i have to consider dropping more weigh when i have my sx done. 150# is all my dr thinks I'm going to drop to but if I need to lose more I'm going to bust my butt to lose it!
