Hi. My highest weight was 215. I lost weight during the two week diet before surgery, but I'm not sure how much. I would assume about 10 pounds. That would make me around 205 on the Day of surgery. I am now 144. I had the surgery June 20.

Today I was 144! That makes a loss of 71 pounds for me with 29 pounds left to go!

Surgery: June 20,2012

High weight: 215

Goal: 115

Current weight: 144

Height: 5 foot 1

Current size: 8 with medium tops

I STILL can't drink Water and I am 6 months out. What helps me is my morning smoothie. I blend a lot of ice in it. I drink it all day and it gets my fluids in.

That is heartbreaking! I'm so sorry to hear that. My friend just finished with all of her chemo and everything from breast cancer. She's on her way to getting a sleeve now, just as you will be .... just a little delayed. I'm so sorry.

Weight at surgery- 215

Current weight- 146

69 pounds gone, 31 to go.

Before' date=' and currently. Still 40lbs to go.

Think I need to go buy a belt. Haven't been comfortable wearing one in years.

I love the sign for the "Never Ending Christmas Buffet" in the background! Lol...

You look great! Skip the buffet...

So i bought this piece of salmon from work today. For lunch in our caf they do some entree specials. It took me all day to finish it and shared some with my daughter lol

Sent from my Samsung G2 using VST

Great idea! It would be helpful ( to me) if people posted pictures of their meals so I can compare what I am eating....

Before I had the operation, I ate so much that I finally felt full. I knew that it would be the last time in my life that I would eat that way. I'm glad I did it because by the time I got the surgery, I was so disgusted with myself I was absolutely ready for the big change.

Hi' date='

Tomorrow I will be 5 weeks out, and over the past few days I have been going from feeling ravenous - like will eat my hand hungry, and can't think of anything else! to ofcourse feeling extremely full after like two teaspoons of food.

I'm finding this all so new. Just last week I was holding off eating because of the pain I got in my back and my chest from certain foods - but now I feel I can eat more foods, but its this starving feeling that I don't like..

At this stage - 5 weeks out, how often should I be looking to eat and how much at a time?

Any help appreciated.[/quote']

I felt the EXACT same way. When I was on a PPI for about a week, this feeling subsided.

My surgery was 6/20/12. My hair has really been falling out... When can I expect the loss to stop, and when can I expect to see hair growing back?

i remember with my first sleeve.

What does this mean?

I have Wii Fit Plus but haven't been on it in months... I got tired of hearing the animated board thingy say "oOOooooo that's OBESE!!!" every time I got on to check my weight! LOL!!

That's what I do for my workout. I am addicted to the Yoga section! It was a FINE, FINE day when the snide little voice FINALLY chirped, "That's overweight!" My new goal is to hear the next snide remark... That's a good weight?

I have had Zumba for months and couldn't figure out how to get points. I tried it again a few days ago and I am so addicted. I have the Zumba 2 and also Just dance 3. Both really work you out.

What's better? Zumba 1 or 2?

What about the wii Just Dance games? Those are aerobic ad have sweating games that really work. I just did Zumba and burned 226 in 20 mins. Give it a try.

Is Zumba for Wii fun? What would you recommend? Does Zumba use the Wii balance board?

My official NUT 1 weight was 290' date=' and NUT 2 was 280. He was surprised. Surprised? Yes, he went on to tell me he had never seen anyone lose 10# in their first month. I'm not surprised. I told him before, losing weight is easy. The hard part is keeping it off.

Is 10# really that unusual?[/quote']

Is this pre-sleeve? Or post sleeve? By 10# do you mean 10 percent? Because my doctor said that in the first month 25 pounds was the average post sleeve.

How did it go?

Just tell everyone that you wanted to win so badly that you went and got a wls...

I use Wii fit everyday and I love it.

Me too. It is my main workout.

Ok... November 1st. Starting weight was 215. Current weight is 155. Height is 5'1".

I thought it was just me!

As of today, I have lost 58 pounds with 42 more to go.I knew when I was fat that I often subconsciously leaned on things to support me as I maneuvered through the day. It wasn't until recently that I realized the extent of this habit. This morning as I was showering, leaning on to the wall of the shower, I told myself to straighten up and stand firmly on my 2 feet. I'm hoping to eradicate this habit from my repertoire ! Anyone else?

That sounds like how I've been. Lately, I felt hungrier. So I've been eating more calories. Now the weight has been coming off much faster. It's weird.

I'm 14 months post op and I can only eat 1/3 of the small chili at Wendy's.

Wow! You must be having trouble maintaining weight! That's crazy!

I remember kind of feeling that way at first. But now that the weight is really coming off, and I can wear cute clothes, and my kids are saying mommy is getting skinnier, it is a distant memory. Persevere through it. It will get better.
