[SleeveandRNYchica 1,155]

I had surgery 10/1 down 42lbs it has been terribly slow and frustrating.

I was sleeved on October 18th, I am down 50 lbs total. I am sad ~ it went fast and I stalled for 3 weeks, then 6 pounds came off. I have started walking again, I had stopped through a move and the flu ~ I sure l the difference in activity vs. no activity. I am hoping to report in at the end of March that I am at least 10 lbs down.

I think in all posts on forums like this You should give only " Weight on the day of Surgery " and "weight as on today "

[Kmasden 14]

Weight on day of surgery was 335, today i'm 277. I feel like it's been slow, and am sometimes jealous of seeing those that have lost more already, however, when i look at the fact that i've lost about 58 lbs in a little over 4 months, i cannot complain!

Anyone stalling for first time since Oct. surgery? I was doing great until the past few weeks. I'm teetering between 199.5 and 200.5 since Feb. 1st. My carbs. have been a little high so I reduced them by half today, drank a ton of Water, had my shake for Breakfast and got more activity in...hopefully my stall will break soon. (Although my jeans got very baggy this week--so there, Mr. Scale!!) DOS - 255, today - 199.5.

Seem to be in a stall. Noticed my carbs a little high so I have cut back. Amazing how they snuck back into my diet. I was surprised to see so many carbs in my Protein bars i will be looking for a new one.

You are absolutely correct about the carbs! I too have been a bit too liberal with my carb choices! They go down fine, yet meat is another story still! Back on track today. I've finally stayed under 200 for almost a week (198), so at least I haven't gone past 200 again! That see-saw ride was killing me! (prob. why I over-ate carbs-I still go to food! Even if it's a tiny amount! I have a lot of growing/changing to do!)

Way to go Holly!! I lost 3 more lbs by upping my Protein and Water, so I officially broke the 250 mark!! Its was one heck of a stall.

DOS 299.5 today 248. YES!! I notice that some folks have lost up to 70 or even 80 lbs since October........that is fabulous!! However, I have only lost 52 but I have seen people as low as 30 lost in 4 months so what the heck, I am headed in the right direction.

I think everyone is doing great!

I didn't lose in February at all. But lost inches and 6lbs since the end of feb. I'm down 50 from the day of surgery and loving it. Do I wish I was losing faster yes. I think it's actually better at a slower pace as our bodies can adjust better. Plus I am losing it far faster than I was before surgery. I would lose 10 and gain 15. I'll take my losses however they come.

Here's a tip I learned that we've all heard. I was busy in February and didn't get on the scale but 3 times. Much easier to deal with. Yes, I was the one getting on it more than once a day sometimes. It is far less frustrating when you forget about the scale.

Keep it up October losers, way to go!

Hi- sleeved on Oct 24th.

SW 270

CW- 187

I can just aout eat anything BUT rice, Pasta, salads and fluffy breads. I turn into a gas machine and feel like crap when I do. I don't exercise much, but I need to so I can start toning. I could drink more Water too. Oh, and the ice cream with sprinkles should probably not be on my weekly diet. I am doing what I can though.

Started in 22/24 and 3x, now down to 14/16 and regualr XL. This close to saying goddbye to Lane Bryant and hitting the 100 pounds loss mark. That's my goal for June.

How is everyone doing? I started at 270 now at 190. Really was hoping to hit 100 at my year mark (oct 23) but don't think it is going to happen. Unless my gallbladder weighs 20 lbs. That sucker is coming out on Wednesday.
