Just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Cindi and I was sleeved in June 2020. I have lost 77lbs so far. I honestly thought I would be further along by now. I think that maybe I could have done better and have started out this year eating better now to get in exercise!!! Looking forward to talking with all of you!

77 pounds lost since June 2020 is great!!!

77 lbs is great! I lost about 100 in a year, but you lost yours in seven months - so you're way ahead of where I was.

Hi Cindi! I’m Alyssa. I was also sleeved in June of this year. I was 330lbs before surgery and am now 254. I’ve been stuck at 254 for like a month and a half now and it’s driving me crazy! I also feel hungry pretty often now.

I started at 332 and am at 255 it’s just so frustrating

Thank you for the support!

Ahh! We are stuck twins! Hopefully we move forward from this! I recently started Zumba and am eating only chicken with veggies or eggs with bacon. I do have a weakness for sweet tea that I make with little sugar. It seemed like just a few months ago I didn’t even have to try that hard!

Congrats on your surgery & welcome. You’ve lost 77lbs that’s amazing. I lost about 70lb in 6 months so pretty similar.

It’s going to take time. Remember you didn’t put on your weight in a short time frame so you can’t expect to lose it quickly. Surgery isn’t a quick & easy fix but you’ll get there. Stick to your plan, meet your Protein & fluid goals each day. Take time to learn new healthier cooking methods & try more nutritious foods. It’s a lot of learning & changing from what you used to eat, how you ate & why you ate. But it’s so worth it.

Good luck.
