Hello May Sleevers!!! I have to say I feel like I have had a slow weight loss. I started at 237. With my pre-op diet I only lost 7 pounds. I was sleeved on May 8th, 2013 and struggled a lot after surgery. I could not get in any fluids without almost vomitting for about 2 1/2 weeks. Any way, I am currently at 197 as of my weigh-in yesterday. Which puts me at 40 pounds total, 33 lbs down since surgery. How is everyone else doing?

Sleeved May 22nd 9 weeks post op and am down 22 pounds since surgery. I am coming off my 2nd stall the first lasted almost 3 weeks and the last 2 weeks. So needless to say I'm a slow loser but I will take it.

Thanks, but I will point out that starting at over 400 lbs the percentage of weight I've lost is really similar to someone at 200 pounds losing just over 40 lbs. (Still, I'm VERY happy with the numbers I see on the scale these days.) :ph34r:

I was sleeved the same day. I am a slow loser too. But I am down 29 lbs. I get frustrated but when was the last time any of us lost weight? It will only get better. I have found that the more I move the more I lose. Log every bite into my fitness pal or a program like it. Get a pedometer and get 10000 steps a day. That is the only thing that helps me lose.

I am definitely a slow loser...at another stall now...was sleeved May 6 and have lost 34 pounds...I think the main reason I am not losing more quickly is lack of exercise...and that is the result somewhat of lack of time to exercise but more the result of a lack of energy...I am not giving up though!

I was sleeved May 8 @ 310 pounds...as of this morning I am down 53 pounds to 257...had my 3 mo (a bit early) appointment today and I am exactly where I am supposed to be on my surgeon's chart...next goal is at 6 mo., and if I keep pace, I'll be 220 (90 lbs lost). Feeling good, have little to no hunger, portion size is typically between 3-4 oz that I do 3 meals a day and my activity level over past few weeks has been 3-4 days a week for 50 min sessions (group boot camp classes). Going to try barre method classes starting next month as I have heard it is EXCELLENT for toning.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
