Starting weight, 315
Surgery weight, 294
Today 7 months post op, 207.8 ( although the picture says different)
30lb-60lbs to go until I reach my final goal

I was just thinking this same thing this week!!
Hello!!
Are stats are Close!!
I was sleeved 2-25-13
319 down to 171-173 (back and forth)
I still want to try 150ish
I am 5'5 and was a tight 26 no longer fitting to a 14

I wasn't a fan the first time I tried them. Recently I tried them again and they were pretty good. I like the cookie dough and Cookies n cream. If you get tired of the bar, you can break it apart and bake. The cookie dough made 4 cookies for me, I can only eat about 1/2 a bar at a time and the 2 I saved tasted good a couple days later.

I reached my current capacity around 9-10 months. Some days I can do a little more and some days less. I aim for 2-2.5 oz Protein and some vegetables at every meal. If I don't have anything dense on my plate I can do about a cup. ( 14 months post op)

I always love a good pun.
So I must admit that I've been shocked the last few days. I had given in that I'm to the point where I should not expect to lose big numbers and the last of my weight loss will be slow. Nope, not a chance so far. I've gone from 185 to 182 in a couple days. This reminds me of the early days out and has me more dedicated than ever. It has just gone to show me that if I treat my sleeve right, it will treat me right. I'm hopeful to be at 175 by march, honestly I would be thrilled if I can hit that by my one year mark. At my last apt my surgeon wasn't positive about reaching my goals, not that I couldn't do it but that the sleeve normally nets a 60% loss. I'm closing in on 85% and it feels great.

I agree the Herbalife shakes are yummy but they are mostly soy-based, rather than whey Protein isolate. My instructions were to stuck with the whey-based Protein Shakes. I just bought a new tub of Dymatize Nutrition rich chocolate flavor Protein Shake powder from The Vitamin Shoppe online. Really yummy! However, I don't think it hurts to "shake" things up once in a while. Groan, sorry for the pun!

I've gone from a 44D to a 38/40 C in about 5 months. I'm pretty sure they are going to stabilize there since I haven't lost anymore boobage in the last 20 pounds. Before I gained a lot of weight I was anywhere from a 36C to 40C

Sleeved 2/4, hit 120 lb loss yesterday. Life is good. 30-40 to go

My birthday was yesterday, the big 30. I prepped all week so I could go out and splurge. When it came down to it. I didn't. The worst I did was spilt a cupcake 3 ways and had 2 bites. I haven't worked this hard to throw away to food.
Food will no longer be the celebration. I didn't care where we went or what we did. I was just excited to be with my husband and kids. To be blessed enough to live another year. This surgery gave me my life back, to me, that is the sweetest taste of all.

it's called monitor your weight.

Today makes 8 months. I've slowed way down and I'm okay with that. I hit my clothing size goal but I'm still 30-45lbs from my weight goal.

I has to come post. I made it to onederland today. So excited. I really do love my sleeve. 115 down since the start of my pre-op

I love when Feb 2013 sleever's start chatting again! Congratulations erp! Great work. It has been quite the journey for us hasn't it? Hard to believe so much change in the course of a few months.

Congrats to you! I should be there soon I like 2 or 3 lbs away.

Just a quick update. Finally broke another zero and am in the 150s- 20 lbs to go! Starting to squeeze into size 8 but 10s are still comfy. Here's a pic from the weekend. The red dress is flowey but it still said "small" on the label! Who would have thought that the word small and I would ever be in the same sentence? How's everyone else doing?

Everyone is different and certain bodies react to pregnancy differently. My first pregnancy I lost 3 lbs and my second I gained 7. It really just depends on your body. It sounds like you know you've been lax and that's something you can work on later. Enjoy the pregnancy, focus on Protein and everything will work out. More often then not, you'll leave the hospital less than your pre pregnancy weight.

Mines moving but I had to up my calories and carb cycle a bit. I need to lose at least another 15 before February to have 80% excess weight loss. That's the going number for someone who started out with my BMI. My surgeon said I wouldn't get lower than 60% EWL, I can't wait to go to my apt since I'm at 70% now. ....it's a long road but I'm here for the duration.
It must feel awesome to be 20lbs from your goal. I can't wait to reach that.
