my journey - down 103lbs

[ShrinkyDinkMe22 376]

Greetings all!

I don't post much but I lurk a lot and see how you are all doing. Good luck to all the newbies and those getting sleeved soon!

I was sleeved 12/10/12. I consider myself a slow loser as I'm still 50-60lbs from my goal weight. But I'm down a 103lbs and couldn't be happier! I'm in a way better place than I was 18 months ago.

We got pregnant last august and lost it in September and I haven't lost a pound since. No matter what I do i can't seem to get my weight loss started again.

I am seeing a new dr now who is helping me get my gut healed. I have leaky gut and am not digesting properly. On the plus side I haven't gained any weight which is key to being a success!

I just wanted to share because not all of us lose 150lbs in 6 months and attain goal quickly. I of course would of loved too but my body has other plans.

SW: 332 CW: 229 was 26/28 now 14/16. I'm 5'8".

First let me say I'm sorry to hear about your baby. That is really tough.

I'm glad you posted that your weight loss is slow. I will be 9 weeks post op tomorrow & have lost 37 lbs. I know that's good but I have slowed down & have had several stalls. I keep a food journal so that keeps me in line. It was when I went on solid food that my weight loss slowed. I was getting to many carbs so I have corrected that. I'm thinking about doing liquids for a couple of days & then bring in solid foods slowly. I also need to get off of my lazy rear & start exercising. I am on oxygen 24/7 so dragging my portable oxygen is a pain in the fanny. I know, I just need to stop whining & do it. Good luck with your continued journey.
