Hi, I’m two years post op gastric sleeve. Been doing great for the past two years but recently been struggling with regain. Working hard to get back on track. Ditching the carbs and getting back to high protein and good choices. Hoping to lose 11 pounds in the next 5 weeks. Seeking encouragement, support, receipes, and tips.

    11 lbs in 2 weeks is a reasonable goal. Be easy on yourself though if you need to take longer and lose 1 lb a week.

    Actually, that would be a terrible goal, but I'm sure it was a typo! She said she wanted to lose 11 lbs in 5 weeks.

    However, OP, if you are currently at or near a healthy BMI, 11 lbs in 5 weeks is also far too aggressive. A 2 lb/week goal is really only realistic for those over 200 lbs with 50 + lbs to lose. Most with only 10 lbs or so to lose find a rate of .5 lb/week to be more realistic, and an easier deficit to live with.

    Congratulations on your success and for catching the regain early :)
