Thank you so much!! I have been working so hard! Never in a million would I think I would ever have the guts to post a pic like that! You look amazing by the way!

So I just thought I would check in. Hw 325, Sw, 310. Cw 222. I feel so good! So much more energy. I can definitely eat more than the first 3 months. But nothing like before. I am determined to live a healthier lifestyle and eat better. Glad everybody is doing so good!

I can't believe how much my life has changed since nov 12... Highest weight was 233. Today 154! Never thought I would see the day. This Summer has been so fun' date=' dating and wearing size 10 white jeans! Someone pinch me! The only real downside is the saggy skin and deflated boobs... But nothing a good bra can't fix! I'm not going to complain about that! cheers to all the success of my fellow November sleevers!!

How's everyone doing??? I am feeling so great lately - finally seeing the changes in my clothes (down from a size 22 to a 16) and so many people are noticing' date=' which feels great. Anyone have any tips for getting to the gym more frequently? That's definitely where I need to start buckling down more. Before/Today pic below.[/quote']

Wow, Boston, you look great. The sleeve definitely agrees with you. Are you at your goal weight yet?

Thank you so much! And so do you I would like to lose another 25-30lbs..We'll see!

Although its hard compete with a cat...

Too funny

Are you freaking kidding me? You look so thin and so different. Great job. BG. WOWSA

Aww thanks Ainsleet! I appreciate it

Speaking of looking amazing....You look terrific!! 25-30 more is a good goal my husband is around your height and he can get to about 215 without looking too skinny.I like a healthy looking man

Thanks Kali!! That would be my ideal weight, 215..I hope I can get there! You look so good by the way!

Wait a minute!! Hold on!! Boston George !!

Hellllloooo... Looking good and you like the chili peppers

Haha! Thanks!! I do like the chili peppers

Everybody is doing so good!! You all look great! I wish you all continued success in the future. I wasSleeved 11/5, down 57lbs..I'm so happy with my progress. Started at 325, day of surgery I was 310..Currently I weigh 253..I'm 6'1. I would like to lose another 25-30lbs..

On surgery day 11/07/12 I was 218 and a super tight 16....

This me a couple days ago 02/03/13 I am at 175 and wearing skinny jeans in a size 10 !

Hoping up be a size 6 by summer

You can get to size 6! You look amazing!!

From what I was told by my surgeon, Protein is the most important food group post-op.For at least the first 6 months. It helps recovery, healing, preserves lean mass, keeps you fuller longer, and your body spends more energy trying to burn it. My doc told me post op no matter what you eat your going to lose weight,,But, if you don't get enough protein in, you will lose muscle as well as fat.. And the more you weigh, the more your going to lose initially.. So if somebodys weighs 400lbs, of course they will lose much more weight than somebody who is 260lbs..

Why do men have to have a catheter? Can't you guys just get up and pee in the toilet like we women have to?

I think it's the surgeons preference. Even the woman got catheters after surgery in my hospital. Something about the anaesthesia

mfp ID. gfraz2180 if you want to add me

I look at it this way. We didn't get this size quickly, so I don't think we'll get to a healthy weight quickly. It's definitely a marathon, not a sprint. Just keep chipping away and you will get there.

Your not eating enough' date=' the more you work out the more calories you need. Trying eating a little more and you will see the difference[/quote']

Thanks Coco! I will try that out :-)

Sleeved on November 20th' date=' 3 weeks post-op today.... Still having a hard time drinking my fluids, anybody else having the same problem? Last week, I was admitted into the hospital for dehydration and Fluid on my lung.... I am also very tired, about 7pm, I want to feel normal again....[/quote']

Hang in there! I was very tired for the first 5 weeks. Just make sure you get your fluids in, no matter how long it takes. You will start to feel normal soon!

Hit a stall this week. I went to the gym 3 times and worked out pretty hard. I don't understand how I eat less than 800 cals a day and still hit a stall? Kind of aggravating but I'm not going to let it get me down

I'm going to have to stop following this site for a minute. Today I calculated how much weight I've lost since surgery...17 pounds in six weeks. I am so discouraged especially after reading about your successes. Very down right now.

Don't get down! You have to realize that we all lose at different rates. Some of us weigh more than others. And as you know, the more you weigh, the more you lose in the first few months. And look at it this way, your still averaging almost 3lbs per week! That seems pretty good to me. Don't be discouraged. Imagine if you lose 3lbs a week for 6 months? I think your on a good track
