Losing slow is the best way. As long as you are loosing pounds or inches in your clothes you are winning the battle. Even no loss (no gain) is a cheering moment. Sometimes your body needs time to stabilize and adjust to the large amounts of weight loss. Hang in there. Great job.

Don't give up but don't focus on those last 10 pounds for a week or two. Take a dancing class ballroom,line dance or something else fun like that might just be what you need to get loosing kick started again. My son got married in October and we took dance lessons. I had a blast and lost a pound or two in the process. Don't give up.

A year. It has been a year. An awesome year. 12/21/12 sleeved along side my sleeve buddy thecurvyjones. I am rocking this sleeve and loving the decision to use Dr Alvarez. I raise my protein shake to toast all the 2012 December sleevers. Here's to you!

Correct 2012. Those sleeves December 2013 are on the wrong thread. :-)

Sorry for the multiple posts. I thought my internet had stopped. Guess I was wrong.

One year......whoop whoop.... Happy Surgerversary!!!!!!!! I was sleeved 12/21/2012 by Dr Alvarez in Pedras Negros Mexico. My sleeve buddy was Thecurvyones. Having the sleeve was the best desision I ever made and it has been an awesome journey. ....... Surgery weight 209 12/21 weight 141 Total post surgery loss ..... 68 pounds..... clothes sizes pants 6/8 and shirt small/ medium dependong on brand. I can't remeber the last time I have worn a small.....I have not had any issues with food tolerance. This website and thread has been amazing in helping with encouragement and information. Special thanks to Endobariatrics and thecurvyjones for all the YouTube videos.... AWESOME....my ultimate weight goal is 135 and I hope to make that by February 14. I loose very slowly and there have been times that was discouraging but reading others posts always helped me to realize I was not the only one battling that issue. Thanks and congratulations to all December sleevers. Wishing each of you a Merry Christmas and a Happy 2014.
