Hi there...I see this is an older post...but I am from Illinois. I am on the border though in S.Beloit.
I was sleeved Feb 14, 2013 in Madison UW Hosp by Dr Greenberg. It was wonderful. I was in and out in a day. I'm currently down 53# as of last week.

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.

Hello all! Man have I been slacking on here. I am so busy its hard to keep up with everything. I am 7 months out and down 74#(total) I think I should be a lot further along but I know why I am not. I keep going off track(not bad but more than I should) and I just pick up and get back on track. I am happy with where I am and want to loose about 100# more. I will start getting on here more and tracking my food as I see myself sliding back to old habits and I refuse to end up where I was.

Heya. I am coming up on 21 weeks post surgery, this Friday. I have lost 39lbs. Averages to fewer than 2lbs/week. My loss has slowed to 1lb a week and I haven't hit 5 months yet. I was 250 day of surgery. I lost very little pre op, about 6 lbs on a 10 day liquid diet. I lost 8 lbs the first week and then settled into a 1-2 lbs loss weekly thereafter.
I started at a BMI of 48.4 from my highest weight. Day of surgery 44.3, currently at 211 lbs I have a BMI of 37.4. To be at a normal, healthy BMI I will have to lose 70 more lbs. So in about 5 more lbs I will be halfway there.
I started in 20/22 jeans and pants, size 18 dresses, XL tops. Currently in size 16/18 jeans, size 14 pants (mostly, some 14's are small) and size L tops, size XL or 12 dresses.

If it wasn't for inch loss and being able to wear smaller clothes I'd be way more depressed about my slow loss.

It might be hard to see and my son took the picture. My old work pants... 53# down

These specific Protein get really foamy when blended. So just beware
I make the carribean cooler....I blend half a banana and about 1/4 c fresh or canned pineapple and ice cubes and blend. Then I add that mixture to the Protein and shake in a Blender Bottle. It doesn't get so foamy then. Good luck

You look great!!!
You've done awesome- no need wait- take pics- even if just for u!

NSV for me today. My daughter had been at a camping trip over the weekend. When I went to pick her up, I was walking toward her from the car and she looked at me and said, "you're getting skinny mom!". I haven't heard those works ever : ) it was really nice. I was 221 pre-surgery. Day of surgery I was 200. I had surgery 2/25 and I am now 173.5. It feels really good.
