Surgery date 7/20.

HW 260

SW 221

Day of surgery 205. Today is 17 days post op. I weighed 198 this morning. To say I am a little disappointed would be an understatement. I have had no trouble getting in Protein and fluids since day 1 post op. I consume less than 600 calories daily and this is my first week walking 1.5 miles daily. The weight just isn't coming off.

I am hoping it is just part of the healing process and part of starting at a lower weight than some.

I am going through the same thing. I haven't gone over 600 calories since surgery on 7/16. Dropped 22 lbs and now I have been stalled for 1.5 weeks. I am baffled. Eating so little but I feel like there is no progress. I do need to be better about drinking water/fluids. But I struggle with nausea all day. It's like morning sickness all over again, but with no baby.

Hello everyone! 7/20!

[OutsideMatchInside 10,166]

I got in 74oz of Water yesterday and I am on track to do it again. I drink 22 in the 33 minutes I am on the elliptical. And then I drink lemon water all day. It have 3 different containers I have to finish to do this and dividing them like that has made it much easier. Not weighing myself so I don't stress about. Hitting 90-100 Protein. Eating one meal a day rest shakes. Keeping carbs under 20

I have lost a little over 20 in three weeks. Is that slow? I only eat about 650 calories and workout.

I posted the reasoning to this a bit earlier in this post/group ????????????

[ctsang 10]

Ok thanks, that makes sense.

I finally decided no more weighting myself for awhile. It was too frustrating. I am just concentrating on following my diet.

[OutsideMatchInside 10,166]

Same. I weigh once a week. I am 6 weeks today. I can have salad!

[OutsideMatchInside 10,166]

What are people eating on an average day?

[OutsideMatchInside 10,166]

We are almost 8 weeks out. How are people feeling?

[sleevenv 483]

I'm 9 weeks out. Feel great. Can eat anything now--just ultra mini portions--but I try to stick with real food. I occasionally slime by eating too much, but I'm getting a lot better monitoring myself. Definitely have to eat slowly too. I started at 200 SW (33.3 BMI) and am now about 169. Love my sleeve!

[OutsideMatchInside 10,166]

WOW! you have lot a lot! Congrats! You are basically where I want to be, but I have a long way to get there.

I need to start being more adventurous in my eating. I really need to add salad in this week. I basically eat the same thing every day. Less options less chance of mistakes, but I need to branch out.

Almost 60 lbs down! I haven't done any kind of exercise yet though. I wish Florida weather wasn't so awful, because it's too hot and sticky to take walks.

[OutsideMatchInside 10,166]

You are down 60 lbs since surgery? Or does that include pre-op?

[BarrySue 602]

That includes 2 1/2 weeks of semi-serious pre-op dieting (I cheated a few times, to be honest).
