6 Month Sugiversary in six days. Down 78 lbs. Very pleased. Hopefully my drum set will help me the rest of the way.

Similar goals. I started @ 335. Currently down exactly 70 lbs. Five months post-op two days ago. Aiming to to get to an even 200 by 1/1/2014. So far, so good!

5 months post op on Monday, 7/22. Down exactly 70 pounds. 65 to go. Now, if I can only get myself to exercise in 100 degree heat!

Unjury was so unsavory I gave the Trial pack away. The best $200.00 investment you can make it to buy the Ninja. I start everyday with a protein packed home-made shake full of fresh/frozen fruit, non-fat Greek yogurt, flax seed oil, vanilla whey, non fat milk and a few ounces of juice. Couldn't do without my Ninja blender. Worth every penny.

Love the graph, great job!

Today marks the half way point in my weight loss journey. I should accomplish my goal by Christmas. Last week, my 12 year old son couldn't keep up with me while hiking. What seemed impossible almost five months ago is coming to fruition. Who would have thought! Talk about a new lease on life. I enjoy logging into this site every Friday (after I weigh in) to read about everybody's journey. If misery loves company, so does success stories!

65 lbs lost in 4 months, 6 days.

Our weight loss experience is identical. My 4 month surgi-versary is tomorrow. As of today, I too have lost 62 lbs. Now if I can get my *ss in gear, I need to exercise!

PhilyNurse...great job! Huge difference. Keep up the good work! :-)

Four month surgi-versary is next week. I'm down exactly 60 lbs. I put on a pair of blue jeans the other day I have not worn in 12 years. Those are my "maybe someday" jeans. That made me feel better than watching the scale move. As many people have noted, there will be weeks you will lose inches instead of pounds. Either way, it's a win/win!

Great job! My 3 month check-up is tomorrow. So far I'm down 57 lbs, though I have been in a stall the past two weeks. Regardless, I am very pleased with the results. I did go from a 54 waist to a 44, so I'm not complaining!

You are doing well! If you survey "most" people who were sleeved in February, the average weight loss (today) is between 40 and 60 lbs. You are right in there! Even those who have lost less than that will experience the same results in the end!

Amazing, I was sleeved on 2/22. Our weight loss (from the day of surgery) is almost identical! I am down 57 lbs as of last Friday. My three month check-up (3 months and 2 weeks) is this Saturday. Please keep me posted!

AZLatina - I didn't make a comparison, I made an observation. Everyone loses at a different speeds. Regardless of how much weight we lose, I'm sure we can all agree that the sleeve is the most successful thing all of us has done, regarding our battle with weight loss.

I remember when I went from the 3's to the 2's....very exciting!

I don't know if many of you realize this, but we are all making approximately the same progress. Most of us in this thread were sleeved the latter part of February and are approx 50 lbs lighter. It doesn't matter which week you lose the weight (What I call "stall panic"), as long as it keeps coming off!

Amazing. We were sleeved 4 days apart and have lost the exact same amount of weight. Guess our diets and lifestyles are similar! :-)

As of today, I have lost 50 lbs. Very pleased!

Very true. The surgery and the subsequent diet teach us what to eat, but not how to eat. Like most if us, I have a very hectic lifestyle, and seldom have the opportunity to relax while eating. I guess I'll slow down when the discomfort gets to me!

My surgery date was 2/22. No complications what-so-ever, though I experience mild pain when I eat certain foods (breads and meats mainly), or if I eat too quickly. The best way I can describe the discomfort is a heavy feeling at the base of my throat....until the food settles. Anyone else experiencing similar discomfort?

I lost a total of 1 lb last week, which is the least amount I have lost since my surgery. I don't think a bad week or two constitutes a stall. From a dietary standpoint, I did nothing better or worse than the previous 8 weeks. I think its better to measure our weight loss on a monthly basis, not weekly. My belt tells me in getting smaller, so I'm not too concerned about the scale. I was losing an average of 4 lbs a week. This week brought my average down a half a pound. Not too concerned. Time to exercise!

I was sleeved on the 21 and down 40. It's so nice to see that I am on track with others! Ironically, our surgery date and weight loss is nearly identical. I was sleeved the day after you and have also lost exactly 40 lbs. Time for me to mix in some exercise. Your user name is Salsha and my real name is Sasha...hum.....:-) Keep in touch!

Great job. Our weight loss is running on the same schedule. I was sleeved on 2/22 and as of last Friday, I'm down a total of 39 lbs. Tomorrow is weigh-in day for me.

8 weeks out and you've lost 37 lbs. That is great progress! If you are eating the right foods, and not over-eating you have nothing to worry about. The weight will not return. If you are not receiving the encouragement you need from friends or family, you are welcome to log into this forum and discuss your concerns. Keep up the great work!
