You look amazing!

Weighed in at 197.5

Thank you so much for your inspiring words. I just finishing reading the thread on binge eating and definitely helped. I have to keep reminding myself that the sleeve is a tool and my actions are what will make it work.

Next week I will be 6months post op. I have so far lost 76pounds- yayyyyy me!!! BUT lately I find myself picking up my old habits (junk food, cookies and etc). I'm terrified of gaining the weight back but I can't stop wanting these damn sweets. What do I do? Also, what's my calorie intake suppose to be 800 or 1000 calories a day? I could really use some encouragement and ideas of what to eat. Please feel free to add me on fitness pal: aslimme85

I'm in! SW (7/17/12) 274 CW - 200 GW - 175 Add me on Fitness Pal: aslimme85

That's awesome congrats! I was also sleeved on the same day. Started at exactly 274 and I am down to 200.5. I feel as its getting harder and I'm getting hungry. What's your diet consist of?

Im very late on this challenge! Surgery weight- 274 (7/17/12) Current weight 208 Goal weight- 200 Will start hitting the gym hard and drinking lots of water!

Yes you will. I stopped at about 1 month out. I couldn't take it anymore lol. I was sleeved July 17, 2012 and have lost a total of 65 pounds so far. Eat healthy- eat protein first and exercise. You will be just fine :-)

I'm at 213... 3lbs and I'll reach my goal!

My surgeon recommended a stool softener. Colace works well!

Weighed in this morning at 213.5!!! 3.5 lbs to goal weight!

Weighed in this afternoon at exaxtly 220.

Thanks ladies! I am def going to go see a counselor. As I will also start doing exercises to lift my butt. And I decided next year I will get a boob job. I feel great looking in the mirror with clothes on its when I take the clothes off that I see all the flab :-(

So here I am almost 3 months out of surgery and feeling disguisting. I used to be a full B cup and now I'm an A. My butt used to be one of my best features and now its completely flat. Yes I know its all the fat of my body now gone, but why couldn't it be my stomach that I lose first. I feel so unattractive and sad. Anyone else hating their appearance?

As of this morning down to 221.5 11.5 pounds to go!!!!!

Today weighing in at 223.5

Weight before surgery: 274 Sleeved 7/17/2012 Current weight 227.5 Goal weight for 10-31: 210

I was getting that feeling 24/7 as well. I get it now sometimes too. Are you drinking a lot of Water? Intaking enough Protein? When I told my doctor about it she said if you see your leg getting swollen then you should worry bc those are signs of blood clotting. Other than that she said those side effects were normal. Good luck with your doctor appt. I am sure it isn't anything bad.

Thanks! I was hoping for more. I need to get in my protein and water...oh and exercise!

Ok so my weight loss had slowed down. and I still haven't signed up at a gym. Shame on me!!!! I need to do this. Today's weigh in 231.5
