Newly Gastric Sleeved

[LaniquaMatthews 0]

I am 33 years old a had gastric sleeve surgery on 04/02/14. My highest recorded weight was 265lbs. On the date of my surgery my weight was 239lbs. My current weight is 223.6lbs, which I feel like I am struggling to lose. I work out 6 days a week for a little over an hour and half, but still my results have stalled. If anyone has any advice for shedding the weight please provide that to me.

From what you've posted, it seems you've lost about 15 lbs in a month. Losing 1/2 lb a day is pretty remarkable. Just remember how much you were not losing before surgery.

The most I can recall someone posting is about 20 lbs lost in a month, which is out of the ordinary. I really wanted to see my weight fall off at 1 lb a day, but it's not realistic to expect that kind of weight loss consistently short or long term.

i, too, wanted to lose a pound a day. of course i don't! I've lost 20 pounds in 7 weeks. not so bad. at least it was not a 20 pound gain in 7 weeks which is so easy to do. i am feeling better, and i can feel a huge difference in my body. i really should have measured but I didn't. I can see my collar bone. way cool! so even if the scales don't show up, there are still little ways you will notice that you are getting smaller by the minute.

Happy Losing,

Mississippi Girl!

I got shoulder bones too after I lost the weight! Down side I got boobs that look like deflated balloons but I will take it!

15 pounds is great! How much would it have taken to make you feel better?
