May sleevers! How much have you lost so far?

[******** 397]

Its been exactly 3 weeks since surgery and ive lost 30lbs! No stall yet (cross your fingers for me) but I guess its inevitable. I was okayed to go back to the gym at week one but I love that if I dont make it one day ( today is raining cats and dogs and we have a flood watch) I'm not gonna gain weight. Ive only been going about 3 days per week because on nice days id rather go for a long walk /jog outside with my dog.

My surgery was on may 7 and I had a two week liquid diet which I lost 17 lbs and now 5 weeks out I have lost an additional 27 lbs making it a 44 lb loss to date. My starting weight was 407 this is about 20 lbs down from my heaviest two years ago when I had the band. The sleeve is working better so far.i had a two week stall post op 3 and 4 weeks. I think because I could not get the Protein down. Everything I tasted and that lingered in my mouth turned me off of the taste. But since then I have purchased the premier shakes at costco and i have been getting my protein in between 60 to 80 grams. And the weight started to come back off. I stalled at 370 and am now 363. Can't get discouraged now just as long as the scale doesn't go back up.

Also..just wanted to share this..I know people preach..no carbs no carbs..but...I stalled a few days...and was eating 500-600 calories...I decided my body was in starvation mode..so set out to increase my calories..only way I could really increase them was to add more carbs...so I started snacking on graham crackers with nutella..a favorite before the surgery..and now I am back to losing 1/2 a pound per day again...and that's without strenuous exercise as I will start that now that I am at 6 weeks..that put me up to about 900 calories per day..I feel better and am losing weight again...

I was stalled at my 3rd week, all of a sudden down about 4 pounds...but my inches are falling off

I am frustrated. Starting weight was 210. Day of surgery was 196 but I really had a bad tummy that morning and some of that was Fluid loss. Now I am at 188-190. I was sleeved may 22. This sucks. I am logging all my food. I know I don't get enough Protein but I am trying. Trying to get 10000 steps a day. I drink my Water. I get between 500 and 900 calories a day. However my face is thinner, my clothes are loose. People tell me they can tell.

Shirlann, I'm so sorry it's been so slow! The veterans on the forum say to stick it out and it will start coming off. Hang in there! You're doing everything right!

I finally lost a couple of pounds after a 10 day stall. Have just focused on Protein and Water and didnt worry about calories so much. Read so many ppl at 500-600 calories and felt like a piggy when I'd hit 900-1000. My body just needed to adjust to the new me I guess. Hang in there sleevers!
