You guys are all doing so great - I'm not thinking I should compare myself to everyone, but I do seem to be losing slower than nearly all of you. My starting weight was 290, then surgery day (4/29) I was 277 -- today I'm 249 and have lost only 28 lbs since surgery! Help!

What are your calorie targets? Protein? I"m sticking strictly to all doc and nut orders, and yet it's so slow.

@katesuccess....nooooo dont compare yourself!! Im ok with being a slow loser, as long as im losing. Im actually at 30 lbs lost! Im losing inches! Im doing what my dr/nut told me....since i work 6 days a week 10-12hrs a day m-f and 4 hrs on sat i have not been able to workout but 2 days sometime 3 a week

I never eat over 800 calories and I get 60 or more protein in, im struggling with 640z of Water but im working on it.....no sagging skin and no way I could have lost 30 pounds without my sleeve in a lil over 2 months!! I would rather lose than gain anyday!!

Oh thank you! That's good to hear, and helps to know. Even knowing this mostly already in my head, it's like the heart doesn't get it unless it's personal. Part of it is also that i read so many great success stories of big losses from people staying super compliant before my surgery, I was anticipating being that way too. I know i'm losing at an okay rate, but had expected to be further along by month two for some reason. Dumb - and i know comparing is pointless. Not helping either. I'm walking about 8000 steps most days, but give myself one or two slacker days. And it does seem like it should be faster, but like you I know I couldn't have done this well before the sleeve. So SO glad I did this! Thanks for the encouragement.

I'm 4/28/14 and down 37lbs. I haven't lost since week 3. Has anyone els experienced this kind of lag in their weightloss?

I was sleeved on 4/21 and am down 30 pounds. I go through stalls. I was stuck at 220 for a while and now I'm stuck at 208. It was good to hear I'm not too far off from everybody!

[katesuccess 990]

I've been stuck in this niche a week to nine days, and hope it's going to break soon! I had another stall at week 2.5 and that was after a twenty pound weight increase from surgery fluids. Too a whole week to lose that!

I'm down 46 lbs since 3/17, I was sleeved on 4/7 and weighed 225 my current weight is 193.5, so 31.5 lbs since surgery. Seems to be 1-2 lbs a week. Down from a tight 16 to a comfortable (maybe a bit loose) 14 pants. Tops from xxl to a large. I meet with my surgeon again on 7/23.
