All of my December sleevers...

[SaraLaughs 23]

Sleeved 12/27 and total weight lost is bouncing between 35-37 lbs. I have at least a week of gain a pound, lose two, gain a pound... Etc. since I'm barely eating 800 cals and mostly still survive on Protein Shakes and baby food, I'm guessing my body is just freaking out and will snap out of it soon. I'm not worried yet, although I do miss seeing a lower number on the scale every day. I took my measurements at the beginning of the month and I plan to take them again around valentine's day. That way, I have more than one way to measure my loss and won't worry about the scale as much.

I am currently in the hospital for something going on GI. I am praying it's not a twist!!

Sleeved on 12/3 and as of this morning' date=' I'm down 66 pounds. I lost a big chunk of it early but then hit a stall for a week or so. Just be patient and don't lose faith, and you will come out of it and the weight will start coming off again![/quote']

May I ask your starting weight?

I'm so glad to see that stalls are normal. Sleeved on 12/19 down 27 pounds but have been stalled for almost 2 wks :-(

Can I ask you all a question are you including your post -op weight loss or the weight loss from your actual surgery date? Some of these losses just seem extreme....if they are from your actual surgery date . If they are from you surgery date share your secrets with the rest of the december sleevers. Feel like we must be doing something wrong.

I'm really starting to think that posting weight losses is a bad idea. People need to understand everyone loses at a different rate, there are an infinite number of factors that affect it and trying to compare your loss to someone else's doesn't really mean anything. I hope i'm not coming off as a jerk here but people need to just be happy that they are losing not worry about someone else losing faster, it's not a race.

It is hard not to be curious about how you compare to other people, but I agree that you want to avoid having those comparisons result in being obsessed with weight or.with feeling like a failure! I really appreciated your comment.
