Feb sleevers.... One month updates!

[kmuro 24]

I had my surgery February 16th and have only lost 23lbs so I'm a little bummed. You all are doing so much better. I feel like I'm doing something g wrong but can't pinpoint it.

Madeline121- Don't stress I too have only lost 24 lbs. and was sleeved Feb 16th.many factors go into that such as your starting weight and body composition. Just remember slower weight loss means less saggy skin

I was sleeved on 2/16, and I am down 36 pounds. Including my pre-surgery weight loss, I am down 66 pounds. I just bought a pair of pants that were 12 inches smaller than when I started my journey. They were a little snug, but I was able to where then out. The next size up fit ok, but I knew in a week or two, they will probably be big on me!

I also had my surgery on February 25th but I am only down 40 pounds so far.

Did you have back problems before your surgery? I did. They went away for a while as I lost weight but now that everything is moving around and I'm carrying myself differently they've flared up again. My doc says it's just temporary, although it's annoying and painful as hell.

Yes, but it wasn't very bad but now it really hurts it's probably like what you went through everything moving around. Thank you that makes me feel better.

Have they checked to see if you are low on Iron or anything? are you getting enough Water?

[pjames123 31]

I just did 5 days in the hospital for dehydration and low magnesium and potassium. I am trying to get all my Water in and I have been taking my Vitamins like I am suppose too. But I don't see my doctor again till May 25th and I have to do my blood work a week before.

Today is 5 weeks for those of us sleeved on 2/25. I've only lost 18 lbs since surgery (and 18 before). Doesn't seem like much compared to everyone else. Hoping the weight loss picks up after 6 weeks as my surgeon promised.

Very happy for those of you who have lost a bunch your first month. I had my surgery on February 22 and have only lost 17 lbs. feeling disappointed. My dr. Said I would lose slower since I only 213. To begin with. Wishing I could see scale move..

@@ewalter31 I began my journey at 212 and have lost 18 lbs. Maybe we do just lose slower. I have 40 lbs left to lose, and sometimes I forget that I'm already (nearly) halfway there if you include my pre-op loss. Hang in there!

My surgery was on 2/17 and I am down 29 pounds included 10 pounds lost during pre-op diet. I am still experiencing dizzy spells usually in the morning and evenings. I feel very tired after work and do not have much energy for house chores once i get home. I basically pack my food for the next work day and get ready for bed. I am eating puree foods and 2 Protein skakes a day. I think my progress is good overall for 6 weeks post op. It feels so good to be able to control my portion size.
