Anyone Start At 240Ish Lbs?

[ShapeShifter 64]

I was 267 in January - after 6 month diet I was stuck at 250 (gained and lost the same 2-4 lbs for 4 months). I got down to 240 on the two week liquid diet before surgery, and two weeks after surgery I was down to 229. I am now three weeks out, and I keep gaining and losing one pound. I was at 230 today. I have PCOS, and expected to be a slow loser, though expectation doesn't make it any less frustrating.

On the point of 240 not needing surgery. I must admit that I have seen people larger than me and felt almost guilty... but my body has refused to let go of this weight on every single plan I have tried. In 20 years, my body has never let me get below 220 lbs. I now have severe sleep apnea and chronic pain and fatigue. The nutritionist told me that with PCOS, I would never lose weight... without surgery. I did what I had to do to find a healthy future. I am hopeful.

No point for surgery if you are 240 lbs.

Excuse me? Wow... pretty presumptive.. You don't know how tall she is? Whether there are extenuating medical issues? I weigh less than that and other than being 100+ lbs over MY ideal weight, I am considered healthy. I am having surgery next Wednesday so that I don't have future issues like some of my family members did...

I walk a little over a mile to work and then home again. I try to have long morning walks on weekends. I also do some light strength training, sit ups, girl weights, etc.

My workout is walking or hiking twice a day for 30-40 minutes each time.

Drs goal for me 140ish- my goal 120ish.

I'm 36 and three kids- two births-

I'm newly sleeved & wondering how much others have lost being around 240ish! How long has it been? Workout regiment? Please share(:

I was sleeved on July 16th weighing 244lbs. Last I weight was 217 dwn 27.1 lbs & abt the same in inches. I also dont hv a wrk out regiment due to being tired a lot & wrking. Praying as I lose I will start gaining energy.

Honestly, You would probably gain more energy if you did workout. I know it's hard to find the time, but you have to do this for YOU!! You had the surgery, use the tool.

Thank you! I knw, i hv tried & i need to make myself but i thk w the lack of fluids tht i dont hv the energy. Im trying to do more.

I have no idea how I'm going to drink all my Water after my surgery since I don't drink enough now.

I know it's hard, but when I did workout, I had more energy, just didn't lose any weight, so I gave up. I like working out. Can't wait to do it again AND lose weight. :-)

Can you tell me how many calories, carbs, and grams of Protein you aim for each day? I am also 36, started at an almost identical weight and am about 15 lbs behind you - our surgery date was a few days apart. I'd like to think I'm doing everything I can to have success, but am wondering if you have a plan that could be more successful for me as well. Thanks!
