Introduction

Greetings my name is Justin. I have been sorta lurking around for a few months just taking in all the information this site has to offer. I finally decided to join up so here I am. I was sleeved on February 20th. Surgery went well and the recovery thus far has gone smooth and better than most people described. My pre surgery weight was around 290 and my weight the day of surgery was 269.9 following the 2 week liquid diet. My weight loss has really slowed since surgery an I'm not where I should be according to NUT. I follow the diet to the smalllest detail. It has been hard to get all Protein and Fluid in but is getting easier. Just bummed that I am only down to 251.1. Thought I would see more losses at this point.

I think you're in the week 3 stall. It'll pick up again soon. Screw the NUT, honestly. If you are following the plan, your loses are what they are. And I was sleeved 2 days after you, started at 265.8 on surgery day and have been stuck at 251.4 for 5 days. Considering how little we're consuming, we're not doing anything wrong. Our bodies right now are saying, "what's going on?! I'm going to hold on to this as long as I can..." That lasts a week or so I hear.

Also your pre-surgery loses were impressive. I think people who lose massive amounts in the first month either have a lot more to lose or didn't lose as much before surgery. Whatever the cause, I think the reminder to not compare ourselves to others is wise.
