See I'm really getting discouraged. I was on Clear Liquids for a week and a half post op (sleeve couldn't handle shakes until day before yesterday). I can still only have MAX a 4 oz shake 3 times A day. I'm staying hydrated and in almost 2 weeks I'm only down 13 lbs. I feel like it should be more. I'm up and active every day, even with barely taking in those calories. I just hate getting frustrated so early.

This is why you never, ever compare yourself to others. Some people are slow and steady losers. Not everyone will have those big giant numbers. As long as you lose the weight, what's the rush? Continue to follow your program, the weight loss will happen.

My weight loss started off really slowly, and I was on this same forum saying pretty much the same thing you're saying now. Like others told me then, it's different for everyone, and it will get better. ????

I'm just a couple day past 6 months and I've only lost 45lbs. I'm discouraged. I just found out I have poly cystic ovarian syndrome which they think may play a role in why I'm not losing weight so fast like others. I have 50 more lbs to go to make my year goal weight and worried I wont make it...

Sounds like you are losing right around the same pace I was. I was down about 46 pounds at 6 months, with at least 35 to go. It can be discouraging, but the scale IS moving in a general downward direction. That's what really matters!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
