My name is Lady Thornton. I am a Chicago native. I started this journey at 267 pounds, on my date of surgery I was 249 pounds. I am currently 230 pounds. I was sleeved March 24, 2015. I am officially seven weeks out and I have only lost 19 pounds since my surgery. what am I missing?

Just to give a little bit more detail: I work out five days a week; I meet with a personal trainer three days out of the week; I have followed the bariatric suggested diet to a T (with the exception that I eat more often so that I can get over 1000 cal or I supplement with the Protein shakes) I just really don't know what I'm doing wrong or why I haven't lost more than 19 pounds in 20 months.

Are you losing inches...since you work out so loyally (and yay for that!) you may not notice as much weight loss initially as you are creating muscle.

I had been losing a lot of inches. This week I may not just because of my increased weight training and I think that I am still swollen from Monday's workout. Tomorrow, I work out again and probably will be even more swollen.

My name is Tricia. I live in Maine. I started this journey at my heaviest in December 2014 at 302 lbs. On the day of surgery 4/30/2015, I weighed 266 lbs. I had the sleeved by Dr. Toder at Emmc. I will ne Two weeks post op tomorrow. I now weigh 255 lbs. I have only lost 11 pounds since surgery and I cant wait to get off the liquid diet. Should I have lost more weight in these two weeks?

No clue. I've seen it both ways but with the effort I've been putting in I expected more. I lost 11 pounds by two weeks then nothing for 3 weeks.
