Recommended Posts

I was sleeved Aug 22, 2016. Started at 212, down to 165, but really stalling and very slow losing. How is everyone else doing that were sleeved in late August?

Hi. I am an August 22 too! I can relate to the stall/slow loss feeling. I was 255 August 1 - 236 day of surgery and I'm 181 today.

Just sticking with the plan and working in more exercise and weight training now.

Super excited about my energy and mobility so it's all good.

Plus I look pretty good - so there's that lol

Hi. I was sleeved August 30th. I was a lower BMI sleever with PCOS, high BP & cholesterol, and sleep apnea.

My highest weight ever was 243 awhile before my initial consult.

SW - 236

CW - 174

GW - 150

I feel like the last month and a half has gone slow, even though I've lost 20 pounds between November 8th and today (2/5/17). I think I have that perception because my doctors told me to stop weighing myself daily. I also think I am a little freaked out that goal is only 25 pounds away and I just want to hurry up and get there. I can definitely tell that I am still losing inches even when the scale doesn't move.

I have been going to the gym 4-5 days a week. I track my food. I've had problems with trying to take in calories so I don't blaze up everything I eat when I work out.

My biggest issue right now is trying to comprehend what I see versus the vision I have of myself in my mind.

August 23 surgery. HW 271.5 SW 246.9 CW 196.3 So that's 75 pounds from high weight and 50 pounds from surgery weight. Loss has slowed, but I haven't been to the gym as much as before. I think I need to up my calories. I'm still sitting around 900 a day. My goal is near 150, but I won't know until I get closer -- I don't want to look ridiculous.

I had surgery in early July, but I'm checking in here anyway. I'm really happy with how quickly I lost and how I've adjusted to the diet. My loss has slowed over the last couple of months but there's still a downward trend.

I was 214 day of surgery and this morning weighed 146. My surgeon recommended I get down to around 140 but I'd like to keep pushing past that as I'm only 5 feet tall

I was sleeved August 12. Starting weight 207, surgical weight 166. Current weight 136. Goal weight 125. Very slow loss now, but I'm not in a hurry, I'm working on conquering lifelong bad habits. Some days good, others, not so good.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
