Had the sleeve on January 9th this year so I'm about 4 months post-op. Lost 30 lbs the first month, then the end of February, all of March and April and May I've only lost about 10 lbs. Went about 5-6 weeks with no weight loss. Was so frustrated - I'm about 700 calories a day, protein is about 60 g which I know needs to be more and I know I don't drink enough water. But I'm doing everything else right. Nutrionist and doctor say they're not worried. I'm 67 and I was not a big eater before - gained about 75 lbs in 2 years due to surgeries, breast cancer, broken bones, etc. Metabolism was a problem before and the cancer drug they told me slows down metabolism more. Trying to stay positive that the weight loss is about 1/2 lb a week but I guess as long as I'm still losing and not gaining it's a good thing. I have 60 more lbs at least to go and at this rate it'll take me 2 years.
