tannak 60 Posted May 25, 2013 Thought i would put out my update for everyone who has considered themselves a slow loser like me! Today is my two months surgery anniversary and I have officially lost 56 pounds. 31 since surgery. Not to bad considering I have a larger than normal sleeve because of scar tissue left behind from my lapband and I feel like I have been a slow loser compared to other Sleevers. I eat around 1000 calories a day which is more than most Sleevers because I don't ever reach satiety eating less because of my larger sleeve and I take brisk walks at least 3 times a week! I have noticed a pattern developing with my weight loss, I tend to stall for two weeks at a time going up and down the same 1 or 2 pounds and then I will wake up and surprisingly weigh 5 pounds less!!! This must be how my body is going to lose this weight I guess!! Just lost 5 pounds in the last two days so I bet I will stay steady for another two weeks and wait for the next swoosh!! Good luck to us all on this journey!! 1 T'snewstart reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
T'snewstart 251 Posted May 25, 2013 Congratulations on your weight loss.... You sound like you are doing well! They way I see this journey is that it is not a sprint..... We are in a marathon....we need to pace ourselves for the long haul! Best wishes 1 tannak reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
