What's your average loss a month now? Mine used to be 10. But the past couple of months it's been around 5........

Although there will always be those that blow the curve (on both sides), the amount of weight loss seems pretty easy to predict. Your date of surgery was three days after mine. Our total weight loss is within 1 lb!!

My surgery date was 2/22 and I have lost 91 pounds.

I believe it is unrealistic to experience weight loss at the same rate as we did six months ago, being nearly 100 lbs lighter. As long we maintain a healthy diet, we will achieve our goals.

Good perspective ! :) it's difficult for me to stay on track well when the results are not the same- but I'm far from where I was at least !

Surgery date 2/10/14

Pre-surgery weight : 248

Post-surgery : 222

Current weight of 222 was as of this morning 3/16.. .about 5 weeks post-op. I experienced about a 2 week stall right after I came home from the hospital. To each his own...BUT I am convinced that there was a correlation between "no" movement and my stall. During the time of my stall it had been about 3-4 days of no movement. I took Miralax (per doctor recommendation) and also started taking 2 Fiber gummies twice a day and after about 3 days I had movement and my stall broke. Ever since then the scale has been moving. I continue to take my Fiber gummies daily and I also try to eat "fiber" as much as possible through out the day.

I was sleeved on 2/11 and have lost 20lbs. I lost most of the weight the first two weeks and then it slowed.. I was feeling kind of down after seeing so many losing 20-40 lbs the first month.. When I went to the Drs for my month checkup, I was told I was doing well. I was told that even if its just a couple pounds a weeks its good!

Im happy to see that I am not the only one that is losing weight slowly.I am getting my Water in and my Proteins. I am following a strick diet as per my NUT and Dr. I also look at it, if I lose slowly my skin has time to snap back and not have so much loose skin if I lose it fast. Although I know I will have some.

I know everyone is different and we all have our own stories, Lets look on the bright side, we are on a journey of making ourselves healthy besides losing weight.

Lets concentrate on the positive, I know I am!

Sleeved 2/27/2014 down 25lbs but I think I have stalled! Not sure why I think I figured out I'm taking in 500 to 600 calories a day 50 to 60 grams of Protein and I walk 30 min. 3 x a week. Ugh

I think this is the dreaded three week stall. I just try to remember that my body need this time to adjust, it helps me not to fixate on the scale. Trying to up my Water, and I walk 40-60 mins a day. So far I had to loose 10lbs. pre-op, lost 15 on liquid pre-op, and 19 since surgery on 2/24. The scale has been stalled for a while now, but I have never lost 44lbs this quickly.

Sleeved 2/27/14. Down 10 lbs since surgery, 12 lbs on pre-op diet. I had to go back to the dr for a pulled muscle in my stomach so I am just this week starting to get my walking in. I had a hard time getting in my Water and Protein the first week due to nausea. I am now able to get my 64 oz of water in and am up to about 52 grams of protein a day. I am hoping to get my protein up and my walking in and hope to lose more weight. I am also having a hard time with the pureed stage. Nothing seems to taste very good and I can no longer get the Protein Shakes down since they seem to make me feel very nauseated afterwards. I keep taking each food stage one step at a time but I am really looking forward to the soft mechanical food stage as I am so sick of liquids.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
