Down from HW 249 SW 238 CW 144. Down 105 lbs since 11/11/13

FINALLY got my date!!! 8/25 @11am!!!! So excited!

Hi ladies. I had my surgery at Mt Carmel 11/6.
I'm down almost 74. Struggling right now with the up and down 2 lbs but it will come off.

Well Im over fifty and so happy that I had VSG I've been losing up and down but overall losing slowly. Down 75 lbs in 9 months.
I think I need to stop saying that!! Getting ready for vacation and the dreaded bathing suit....droppy skin between the thighs looks awful and when I lay down with my knees bend as I will on a beach lounger the flab pools down resembling a big bottom vase. Everything is wiggly giggly.
But I have went from a 28/30 to a 18 so the hell with the flab I'm going on a jet ski for the first time to celebrate! I'm headed to a 100pound loss by years end. And I'll put my arm in the air and wave my bat wings like I don't care!

I love my flex! It keep me active. Plus you can have friendly competitions with friends.

I must admit I'm really proud of my loss so far as I cannot exercise owing to progressive multiple sclerosis. Wish I could but my body won't let me. At least my knees and back aren't as painful anymore :-)

Congrats to you guys!
I had my sleeve 11/6 and am down 78 from highest and 70 from surgery. I have been working out averaging 9k steps on my fit bit. Before sleeve I had no energy and was a couch potato. I love being able to mow my lawn, go to the gym. I would have never in my life thought that I would enjoy the feeling of exercise. Granted, I do t like it during but the feeling of accomplishment is amazing after!
If you guys have my fitness pal or fit bit, feel free to friend me

Lost 67 pounds so far. Slow but sure :-)

11/11/13 and I've lost 49lbs! Loving my journey

I had revision from band to sleeve 11/27 and am down 51 pounds!

I was sleeved November 6th and i've lost 56lbs

Wow, that is brilliant!! I was sleeved on 12th November and I've still got 85Ibs to go. I've lost 44 so far :-)

Almost halfway to goal!!! Sleeved November 16, 2013.

Today I weighed myself and I was 180 on the dot. That means as of today 200 unwanted lbs, have left the building. I never ever thought I could get this far....
Thanks to most of you who have inspired me and encouraged me and helped me with all my problems thus far!!!!!

Very well, thank you! Dr. Page agrees that the sleeve would be a good choice for me. I only have 2 clearances to complete: 2 nutrition classes (which I've already scheduled for beginning and end of May) and my psych eval. Then it goes back to insurance!

Katmando12 that is AMAZING! Kudos to you lady! I cannot wait to say that I've lost 74 lbs. How was your hospital stay? Any tips you can give me to make my stay as comfortable as possible I would love to hear. Again, congrats!

You guys don't know how encouraging this thread is! I was really beating myself up thinking I was a slow loser until I read everyone else's progress. I feel like I'm normal now! Down 46lbs. Preop weight 208 sw 200 cw 162. Surgery was 11/6/13 and I'm 5'2".

I live in south Texas, in between San Antonio and Laredo. My family has lots of rental properties and are always in need employees to fill the cleaning staff. There is a BIG oil boom too. Lots of companies pay very, very well for all sorts of services, from cleaning staff to management. More than 20 hotels have gone up in the area, all short staffed. Message me. I can help you find a living situation and there is plenty of job opportunity.

What would you do if a friend told you this story? What advise would you give that friend?
I'm sorry you're going thru this - you need to think about what's best for you and the kids.

Slow loser here... highest weight 295lbs, surgery date (Nov 4th) 272lbs, while in hospital gain water/I.v. weight 277 lbs. Today I way 248lbs. Total loss of 47 lbs, 29lbs from surgery. I'm okay with being a slow loser but I am a bit sad with my results so far, I feel as I'm doing something wrong. Regardless I'm shaking off the blues and so be it! God bless you all, continued good health and weight loss. Xoxoxo I love this tread and all you losers! Keep me informed. Keep up the hard work too. TAWANDA! (Fried Green Tomatoes, movie quote)

People say their a slow loser but to me I don't see it. If you had only lost 20 pounds in 6-7 weeks, Then yeah I would call that a slow loser! I have lost 35 pounds in 10 weeks and I still don't consider myself a "slow loser".

Surgery date 11/6 down 32 pounds total which includes pre-op. I had my hubby hide my scale. In a stall up and down same 2 pounds.

SnowDaisy I'm curious how you appointment went

I had surgery 11/6 and am down 22# which I think is great but I guess I'm a slower loser looking at some people losses. I am hopefully out of the dreaded stall. Fingers crossed
I know everyone losses differently. It's frustrating to see it.
I think the stalls are the worst. I have to force myself not to weight because it makes me upset

I had surgery nov 6th. Feeling pretty good.
