On surgery day I was 243 now I am 223 so 20lbs down. I been going to the gym 5 days a week and now it seems like my wieght is stuck is it because I'm working out? My surgeon said I'm doing great because my starting wieght was 260. I'm just scared it's not going to work and I will never get under 200 lbs.

Congrats on your loss! You may need to increase your Protein and Water intake if working out. It's common to stall though. Just change things up a bit - add more protein and modify your exercise routine slightly to kick things off again.

Thank you I think I will drink a Protein Shake after I work out

Weightloss comes from a team effort with our sleeves, so there really isn't an "it" that will work or not work. You have lost a great deal of weight so far. I know we separate pre op from post op loss but our bodies just know it as weightloss. Our bodies are working hard in multiple ways. You will get there.
