July sleevers please check in..

[RoxFC 175]

I am almost 10 weeks out and have only lost 33 lbs since surgery 7/31. It is 3.3 lbs a week which should be considered good but not by my hospital! However, my new NUT (the old one moved) said due to my 42 lb pre-op loss that I was probably plateauing as my body adjusted. 29 she said anyday I should start seeing more rapid loss.

I do need to exercise more but my work hours suck and I can only workout on days off whish is 2 days a week. I want to get a more fixed schedule (why I am looking for a new job) so I can exercise more regularly.

I have had to buy new clothes though. Out of 30/32s and into solid 26/28!

I've hit a plateau for what feels like an eternity. I have been going up and down the same 3 lbs for about two weeks. I had surgery on 07/22/13. I've lost 48 lbs total... 40 lbs post-op and the other 8 from my pre-surgery diet. My weight loss averages to about the same 3.5 lb/week. I am very happy with that because I in the past it was impossible for me to stick to any kind of weight loss. But, I did expect to not plateau for as long as I have been the past couple of weeks. I'm very active (currently doing 125 mile challenge for the month of October), I eat well...lots of Protein, good carbs, plenty of fluids. My downfall has been the weekends. This has always been my problem pre-surgery and I know I have to get it under control. I like to drink wine on the weekends and that is packed with empty calories! Also, I indulge a little on the weekends with dessert or a treat. I don't go crazy but I also don't get enough Protein or drink enough Water on the weekends. I'm back on track today and hoping that the scale starts moving soon. I go to my 3 month post-op visit on Thursday...let's see what my NUT says! Good luck to you....your weight loss is great! I wish I would've stuck more strictly to my pre-op diet...

Hi, all! I'm down 64 pounds. Gotta' exercise more before the Golden Period expires in a couple of months! Have a nice day.

RoxFC weekends are my downfall as well. I have been trying to excercise more to make up for it and keeping busy.

I was not strict. That was the pre-op with the NUT an liquid so it was 6 months to lose 42 and then 33 the last 2 months. Wow, saying it like that makes it sound even better. I cheated pn my pre-op liquid diet. I haven't even tried alcohol yet and I don't get enough exercise...maybe 90 minutes a week? I figure the slowness of my loss with help with excess skin but who knows. Lol

The biggest exercise I do regularly is walking, it's trite but it is helping

Very happy with my progress. I don't exercise much. I know if I did I would have lost more, but I'm still happy with my weight loss

26/28 and just bought a size 20 top - yay! But mostly I am a 22/2x now.

Very sedentary to I just went to the gym 6 days straight! My routine is - M - Gravity and Zumba, T - Zumba; W - Gravity and 30 min treadmill; Th - Zumba, Fri - off, Sat and Sun - 35 min circuit, 20 min treadmill, 10 rowing, 10 crossramp

I feel great mental/psychological relief to not be able to eat as much.

I still see some of my overeating/junk food tendencies rise up. I seem to eat a little bit of stuff I shouldn't daily. I think I am at about 1000 calories a day, but I should be at 800.

I successfully transitioned off of the PPI I went on after surgery. I had about a week of struggle with acid and it was causing me to reach for carbs to absorb. But, my stomach finally settled and I am glad I gave it some time instead of going back on PPI.
