Way to go everyone on the loses ! I haven't weighed this amount for 20 years. I have a family social event this coming Saturday .....and will see my sister for first time since May. I can hardly wait for her reaction...I think for first time ever I will weigh less than her !!!

Thank you NGM.....been lurking around reading your posts.

My stall broke after over three weeks....got on scale and was down 12 lbs !!!!! Yea !!

Was in a stall for over three weeks....finally broke this weekend and was down 12lbs !!! Went shopping in friends closet and was able to get into a size 18 shirt and pants !!! Yea NSV !! I was thrilled because last June was wearing size 28 pants.....and have pretty much gone thru all the smaller sizes had in my closet. I have been holding out buying any new clothes. I am officially down 130lbs since June 4 at my seminar weigh in, and 83lbs since surgery on Sept 18. Yes I am losing some of my hair too, but I wear mine really short so not real noticeable.

Was stalled for 3 weeks....weighed today and stall broke....am down 79 lbs since surgery on 9/18 .......and 126 lbs since started this journey on 6/4/2012.

Definitely have the VSG first. Any weight you lose will make the knee surgery recovery easier.

Yea for green!

Down another 20lbs since Dec 13... I also have problems going...doctor told me to. take Miralax.

Suepeeps.....looking fantastic!!

@ teach5....that is awesome ! Good for you.

@ newgrandmother....so sorrrry you are sick. Try to keep your fluids in.

Happy New Year to all my sleeve sisters !!! We have so much to look foreword to in 2013.

Seminar date 6//4......wt. 368 Surgery date 9/18.....wt 321 Today wt 259.....

@ momofthing.....way to go on the weight loss. WOW 67lbs!!! Your mom maybe needs glasses or is just pushing your buttons. You know how great you are doing and that is what counts.

@npm ......great work on the wt loss. I too still have problems with lots of proteins.....I just keep trying.

Want to wish all of you a Merry Christmas!!!!

@ newgrandmother.....I have been trying to follow a modified version of your diet....have eaten about every 3 hrs today and am even up now drinking some protein soup and some more water. My SO thinks if I try to up my food intake I will start having more energy. I sure hope so!

@Artsong.....way to go!!!!

I am sure we all lose at our own pace....the more one has to lose the faster it seems to come off....up to a point. I am eating my protein and drinking my water.....but still have over 100lbs to lose!!! I am so proud of all of my sleeve sisters for taking this step to improve their lives!!!!!

MDM....don't leave. You are important to your sleeve sisters....and we are all here to support each other. @ green....thank you. @Jenn....since surgery 55lbs and total of 102 from preop program started June 4th. Last week I had a stall and weight gain of 2-3 lbs....I was freaking out....it broke and I tried on pair of "skinny" jeans and they FIT!! This process has been way harder than I expected.....this site and you gals have helped me so much. Still have long way to go......

Three months since surgery and down 55lbs!!!

@newgrandmother....you sound like my surgeon. He says you are a baby that has to learn how to eat all over again.

Eating out is a chore....had to ask my spouse to slow down twice yesterday at a steakhouse. We shared a steak and still had some to bring home. I have hit my first STALL.... scale has not budged for 6 days....still eating right but not losing.

My follow up appt went well....surgeon is very pleased with my weight loss. My dietician was in nasty car wreck....so I was assigned a different one. Me not likey her so much. Sorry to hear of some of your relationship problems.... @newgrandmother....did the massage help?

I am scheduled to see my wl team this afternoon and am freaking out.....I gained 2lbs this week !!! I have not been eating different. I have been on antibiotics for a nasty sore throat. Will let you know how everything turns out.
