I was sleeved May 2nd after having the lap band. Weight loss VERY slow....only lost only 23 pounds. Bad eating habits sometimes get the best of me. How is everyone else doing?

I relate. My surgery was May 28 and I also have lost just 23 pounds. I am able to eat most foods without issue and eat anywhere from 800-1200 calories per day. I’m still burning more calories than I take in. I feel frustrated and disappointed I’m not one of those people that loses 3-4 pounds a week.

I was sleeved on May 16th and have lost 31 pounds since my surgery. My surgeon said that he likes to see a weight loss of 8 to 10 pounds a month. I think we are all doing great!

I was sleeved May 15th. Down 41 pounds today. I went through a very long stall that started around week 4-5 and i got discouraged and started to slip back into my old habits of bad food choices. But after gaining 1/2 a pound i decided to get back to a strict diet. Premier Protein drink Breakfast and lunch, high Protein Snacks, healthy dinner & Vitamins. I started losing again!

Always having healthy snacks available really help me stay on track, my favorites are pacific gold beef Jerky from costco (they come in little bags) and sargento balanced breaks (cheese, nuts, dried fruit) & crystal light drink packets!

Haven't really exercised yet, we've had the biggest heat wave and we don't have a/c so i sweat enough!

I was sleeved on May 22. As of today I'm down 50 pounds. I went through a stall for about a week. I just bumped up my Protein and my walking, and that help the stall to break.

I was sleeved 2nd May, so 3 months post op now. I"m doing well, mostly feeling good (Aunt flo knocked me around pretty bad mentally the other week). I'm eating 800-1000 calories a day, minimum 75g Protein (keeping detailed track in MyFitnessPal) and finding that's plenty to keep my body happy and hunger at bay. I"m not doing any major exercise/extra walking/gym etc, but am doing physical work shifting a lot of dirt, heavy digging, shoveling mulch etc in my veggie patch when the weather allows me (mid-winter here).

My weight tends to stay the same for up to a week, then drop for a week, then stagnate again for a bit. I weigh myself most days but never feel disappointed when it's stalling since I know I'm eating well and the scales will eventually drop again.

I'm down just over 10 BMI points now and almost half way to goal with a loss of 28kg (62 pounds), 18kg (40 pounds) of it since surgery.

I was sleeved May 15 and I just passed the 40 pound mark. I'm exercising 5 days per week and closely counting calories and Protein. No more blood pressure medication. I am constantly hungry, though, and that has been hard.

I was sleeved May 23rd and am down 43 lbs and feel good but for some reason I feel like it should be more.. I get discouraged and still feel so heavy, but I know that 43 pounds in 3 months is amazing and reading all your post makes me see how amazing your all doing as well.. thanks everyone for sharing and inspiring.
