Need some feedback from the old pro's

I haven't been here for a couple of weeks but I guess that's a good thing. The truth is I haven't had one minutes trouble from my surgery or my sleeve and in some ways that makes me nervous. I guess I expected more discomfort and problems.

I am now 8 weeks out. Have never had real pain, no nausea, no vomiting and seldom feel any real constriction. I can drink normally and I can take normal bites of food. I sometimes wonder if this is normal?

I eat right, high Protein, low carb and SELDOM over step the serving size. Over eating is the only thing that causes me any unusual feelings and I get a little restriction in the upper belly or at what I consider the connection of the esophagus into the stomach.

Right after surgery I was out of the gate flying and lost 20 lbs in 3 weeks, to me that was great and what I expected. Since then however my weight loss is VERY slow. In the last 5 weeks I have lost only another 8 pounds. This seems like very little to me even though I am happy to be losing at all. I just felt like I would be losing bigger chunks. Especially when I am eating under 1000 calories a day and low carbing.

I can say that I see changes in my body (not all good) but I can see a difference, I just worry that this isn't going to work for me the way it seems to work for others. I guess what I need to know is whether my loss is normal or not. I am not unhappy just a little worried that I am doing something wrong. I see the PA and NUT on Thursday the 28th and I almost expect them to b***h at me for not losing more because it feels like I should have because I had WLS for goodness sake.

HELP me shut my brain up!

It sounds to me like you are doing fine. Congratulations on a total of 66 pounds gone.

I had surgery Jan 26th and at the 8 week mark I had lost 27 pounds. Both of use lost a significant amount of weight during the 6 months supervised diet so I am not surprised that we only lost 27 and 28 pounds. Also remember we are older than most and I don't know about you but my activity level is no where near the younger generations. I am now 13 weeks today and have lost 40 pounds since surgery. Have encounter my third stall since surgery.

It sounds like you are doing great to me.

Have you started any kind of exercise?

On purpose???? Just kidding, I just signed up with a gym and only been to my first session but I admit it's not my joy. Lol
