TamaraS, I started at 333 lbs and now weigh 212. I can't seem to get back on track! I still don't eat much in one sitting but I graze all day long...and not the foods I should be eating. I am exercising which is the only reason I'm not gaining back any weight.
Green: I know what you mean, I've stopped weighing in...guess I'm too scared at what I'll see!
Need to get back on track.

I can't believe how well we have all done...got to love that sleeve!
I'm a september 24th sleever, would love to lose another couple of lbs before my dr appointment.
Yeah, definitely need a boob job...they look like tennis balls hanging in tube socks...yuck!
Congrats to all

I eat 4 small meals + 2 Snacks a day...keeps me from getting too hungry in between.
Don't worry about the stalls, everyone has them along the way. Just keep doing what you're doing.
Good luck!

Congrats to all!!!!!!
I can definitely get around easier...I seem to have more bounce to my step! Guess losing 90 lbs can do that.
I've been doing a lot of aqua fitness, aqua jogging and aqua spinning...they're great no stress on ankles and knees.

You have to remember that the higher the BMI the higher the weight, so it would make sense that someone who has a lot to lose will lose it faster that those who have less and therefore lower BMI.

Why is it that the boobs are the first things to go???? I'm not there yet, but I can't wait for someone to call me tinny!
I was also shopping yesterday and picked out some clothes to try on, and I was looking at the clothes and thinking "I'll never fit it to these...they're way too small". Once in the fitting room I realized that everything I had chosen was way too big and I couldn't believe it. So you are right, I too see myself at my pre op weight...it's weird!
Anyway congrats on your amazing weight loss Ms Tinny!

I hear you Gypsy! Worked my butt off, low carbing and treadmill and lifting and I might lose a little, damn little (pardon my language). But nothing like this. People would just tell me "you just need to eat right and exercise, blah, blah, blah". I did, and I did. Fat lot of good it ever did me.
I'm excited and totally freaked out by it all. I took my kids out to dinner last night, and I'm just watching them eat (now understand that they are normal, not overweight in the slightest), and I said to them, "I can't believe the amount of food you guys can put away!" I got the "MOM!!" But really, it would have taken me 3 or more days to eat what they did. And I can't believe the amount of food that I can live on. It's appalingly small. This sleeve is rocking! My oldest son, who hasn't seen me since May of 2012, and won't see me again until May of 2014, is going to FREAK OUT when he does. That's going to be hysterical!!!!
Today a friend of mine has a little 3 year old girl that is going around asking everyone if there is a baby in their tummy (because we have another friend who is pregnant), anyway, she asked me that question today....and I think the mom started to wig out --- but I was fine. I didn't go home feeling embarrassed or upset with myself or anything like I normally would have. Because I KNOW that there is 80 pounds less of me walking around this planet and it is FREAKING AWESOME!

Congrats to everyone for their weight loss...can you believe it! It seems surreal to me. i'm not afraid to get on the scale, even if I'm up a lb or 2, I know it will eventually go down...how great is that! I love my sleeve!!!!!!

Thanks Catracks, I'm just freaking out a little... I'm pulling clumps of it out in the shower!
Knowing that most people who have had vls experience some kind of Hair loss is comforting.
Can't wait for it to start growing back!

Teatimed- Are you doing you suplements? I dont ever remember to take it. I think I am getting th Protein in, i dont know though because I am not monitoring that either. I am officially a Sleeve Slacker.

Jenn- If my Hair loss continues for another 5 months, I'll be bald! Has yours slowed any?

kparker- I'm the same way...I often forget to take my Vitamins and I never track my Protein intake.
Guess you can add me to the Sleeve Slacker Club!

What a difference 73 lbs make!!!!
Congrats!

Congrats! You look awesome.

Congrats! The pre-op diet is a small price to pay for the reward after the surgery.
Good luck

Awwwwwsome! Congrats!!!!!

You look amazing!

Congrats on your successful surgery and the peeing!!!!

TamaraS, I can't believe you are still on liquid only! My doctor has allowed me to eat Cereal and milk in the morning or cream of wheat and creamed Soups for lunch and supper...not great, but a heck of a lot better than just liquid.

I had my surgery on the Sept. 24th and am doing well. The first few days were slightly uncomfortable but the pain meds did the trick.
Good luck all....

Congratulations TamaraS! 17lbs wow! I have the same feelings...sometimes I feel soooo hungry, so what I'm doing is when I feel like I want to eat I make myself busy, like going for a walk, or even jumping in the shower. It's amazing how much a few little distraction can do. If that doesn't work, just think about how well you are doing, that should be good incentive to stay on the right track.
