Hello

I was sleeved July 29 and lost 23lbs the first week. Then nothing for three weeks finally last week the scale started to move again. Now I have lost 31 lbs since surgery and a total of 55 since diet. I was scared there for a minute I thought I was doing something wrong but my body was in shock from not eating as much.

Ok so ..I shouldn't be worried.

Im glad that you starting to lose again.

Thanks

My surgery was on July 30th and I have only lost 18-19 lbs. I keep losing and gaining the same pound. Can you tell me how many calories you are taking each day and your exercise routine?

[kalee76 28]

I am taking any where from 750 to 1000 calories a day. It seems high compared to other people who post on here but I do drink one protien shake. I also have been eating zone perfect chocalote bars they have 14 grams of protien and 210 calories. I am also bad with drinking I have been drinking a lot of sweet tea mixed with unsweet tea and gatorade for some reason after I got sleeved chystal light and diet teas are so nasty to me now. I have not started to exercise I will soon my side has still been bothering me. I have not been doing all the right things but so far it is working for me. I don't condone any one to do wat I have done but it seems like by adding some sugars to my diet it has helped with my weight starting to come down again.

Yea this is really the hard part since no 2 people are just alike. I wish there was something we could all do to ensure we could loose weight and no have to worry about the scales. It's just becoming a struggle for me as well.

How far out from surgery are you

[FRED1977 186]

This is my 6th week, so I'm still new to this.

[kalee76 28]

Have you started to exercise? How many calories are getting. I am new also I'm five weeks out.

[FRED1977 186]

No work outs yet, I tried in week 4,and it was really painful. To be honest working out and eating less than a 600 calories a day doesn't seem to really make a big difference. I will get back in the gym as soon as my finances become better. Just got back to work . So I need all the money I can get .

I am experiencing similar results. Sleeved on July 25, lost 28 lbs since then. Much of that loss was early on after surgery. Weight loss slowed for me at week 3 and stalled last week. I am really not good about daily exercise, but I am going to have to get over that. I think a good 45 minute brisk walk each day might help get things moving! (Fingers crossed)!

Good luck

I hate the plateaus. I've had a couple so far that lasted about 2 weeks at a time. Now, I finally made it to 200...and I step on the scale this morning and it tells me I'm at 202 again! Grrrr! In one day?? LOL *sighs* So frustrating. Hang in there! It has to drop at some point (that's what I keep telling myself anyway lol).

I was sleeved on July 26th and I have lost 27lbs. I didn't lose in week 3 and half of 4. I have started losing again but it's a pound here and a pound there. I just started increasing my exercise and I am trying to increase my fluids. I agree with ladylaura, it has to drop at some point.
