August Sleevers-How are you doing??

[mabreu 8]

My doctor still has me at only 2 oz or a quarter of a cup per meal. To stay on that I bought those little 2 oz plastic cups at Walmart. And I've been using a scale for some things.
I've only lost 20 pounds in the last 2 months and I also tell myself that's ok because maybe it will prevent the skin from sagging too much, but it is frustrating. And the 2 ounces don't always satisfy me so I have cheated a little but not too much. I'm still limited though in what I'm allowed to eat. No raw vegetables or fruit, except for mushier fruit, until about the 6 month mark. Still not supposed to eat beef and I found out why. I had 2 ounces of hamburger for the past two evenings and my stomach has been upset ever since. I'm mainly eating fish and chicken, some eggs, and cheese because I can't give up the cheese. Most days I'm only getting about 600-700 calories, which includes 300 for my 2 Protein Shakes. I'm wondering if it's slowing my weight loss but that is what they say that I should limit myself to.

At this stage you should NOT get have Protein shakes that much and that often anymore. The calories will just slid thru your sleeve. The reason your doctor is so restrictive is to prevent the most common complication of the sleeve which is leak. Let your stomach heals. You better off eat 3 oz of solid protein 3 x/day and minimal snacking and avoid carbs as much as you can.

I have lost 43 lbs since 8/7! I’m so excited bc I have never, EVER seen the scale move more than a few lbs of a fad diet. This was the best decision I have ever made! HOWEVER, I think the doctor’s scale is not telling the truth. I was a solid 18 when I started this process, maybe even slightly pushing out of the 18 but 43 lbs down and most my clothes still fit?!! A 16 is still a bit tight? What is happening?! My go-to jeans are finally loose enough to possibly go down a size but a lot of my stuff is fitting just fine. I don’t get it. I know I look better-face is thinner (thank god) and clothes definitely fit better, just assumed that 43 lbs down would mean a new size. Anyone else having this issue??

Boy, do I hear you! I have lost 49 pounds total and am still wearing all the same clothes. Some of the pants seem a little looser, but I sure don't have anything falling off me yet. What the hell?

I've also hit a two-week stall that is driving me nuts. I keep track of my food on MyFitnessPal and I know I'm not eating that many calories--have only recently been going a bit over a thousand a day, but I sure should be losing some weight at this rate. It just doesn't move. Argh!!

Meanwhile, no, I'm not getting exercise--my knees are killing me and I just hope I can get to my doctor's appointment next month for the shots. I'm so sick of being in pain every time I stand up. It's so debilitating.

I have also moved and lost a niece this past few weeks, so it's been kind of a tough time overall. Hoping for a better future as always . . .

You could link to it instead of posting a tiny screenshot from your phone.

Or you can actually read what it says and search the link yourself. Wow

We had the surgery on the same day and it's roughly 28 lbs for me, but I have a lot more to lose (my starting weight was 319 and my goal weight is roughly 165).

Thats awesome, im following you now. Its nice to see those pounds go!!!

[Véronique 238]

So, after converting my weight loss today into pounds, I noticed I just hit the 30 pounds lost mark!

Yesterday I weighed myself and I am in onderland. I am 196.5 over the weekend I also had my 2 months surgeversary and am down 46 lbs. So excited, bought my first size 12 since before I had my son 6 years ago. I don't even remember being this weight since my early 20s I went from thin to pregnant to 240 lbs. Feeling so good, one of my co-workers told me today I should stop here as I look good already. I politely told her I am not stopping for another 40 lbs. Lol my weight distributes well as I am 5 ten. So thankful for this surgery and for the opportunities I have been given to be healthy, and so much happier.... here's to the next 40 lbs.

I am in the same boat. Stalled for 2 weeks now and frustrated. Sleeve on 8/31 down 27lbs. I think I am also seeing others big successes and being hard on myself, but wonder if they had bypass which lends to faster losses. I am trying to be patient and follow my plan. Stick to high Protein food choices. I need to be better at Vitamins.< br>
