Rebellious Butterfly 91 Posted June 21, 2014 I am 5 days out and think the word only should be dropped. I'm proud of each of you! You have committed to a very difficult undertaking (if a say so myself :)and you are half way there so in 8-10 weeks if you keep with your current pace you will reach your goal. Congratulations! ! I'm with you the word ONLY must go, I'm 5 weeks out and I'm down 30lbs I would never say only because it's way more than I would have lost without the sleeve.......

cari73 64 Posted June 22, 2014 Don't get discouraged. I have weeks I will loose 1 pound or 0 and then I have weeks I will loose 5.. I know on the weeks I don't loose that inches are coming off instead of pounds. We all have plateaus but that is a good thing. I started out at 205 day of surgery 4-21-14 Today I am 168.. We can all do this together!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tresmom 5 Posted June 22, 2014 Ok, I was sleeved on April 29th. I am down 38 lbs. that happened the first 4 weeks out. So it sounds like everyone has had roughly the same experience. I am a little worried I'm not feeling as full as fast as I did following surgery. What do you think ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
luvinmytat2 2 Posted June 23, 2014 Ok, I was sleeved on April 29th. I am down 38 lbs. that happened the first 4 weeks out. So it sounds like everyone has had roughly the same experience. I am a little worried I'm not feeling as full as fast as I did following surgery. What do you think ? Hi, I too don't get full as fast as before but I think it's because our tummies are finally healing. I still can't eat a lot but I don't feel as yucky when I eat now. I did increase my calories and I lost five pounds last week. Go figure. I started drinking bolthouse Protein Drinks and that has help with the Protein and the calorie increase. They have tons of carbs though, it is working for me. The good news is that I had Pasta last night and it didn't even bother me at all. Woo hoo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OregonGirl 2 Posted June 23, 2014 I had a stall about 3 weeks out as well when I switched to mushy foods and had terrible reflex so wasn't getting much good in at all. After getting Prilosec and increasing my calories while keeping up my Protein I moved past it. I'm 4.5 weeks out and am down 26 lbs from my surgery weight. Still have a ways to go but am feeling great. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lalapaloosa 4 Posted July 3, 2014 It is wonderful to hear about everyone's journey. I have been "forced" to clean out my closet, too. Lots of stuff is just hanging off. Finally had a few people notice. Amazing that I can lose more than my 2 1/2 year old's weight and still not be crazy different. I keep telling myself that I am ok with it going slowly, so my skin can shrink with it, but it gets tough sometimes not to see any movement on that darn scale. Starting weight pre-surgery =265. Surgery day weight = 251. Current weight =221. Surgery date was 4/21/14. Keep up the great work everyone! 1 tabby76 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
