November was my 3 year anniversary. I managed to maintain the weight fairly well, only gaining back 10 pounds. The problem is the alcohol consumption. I eat Breakfast and lunch, usually healthy. But dinner consists of beer, wine or vodka. Sucks!

Surgery date : November 21,2012 Surgery weight: 278 (size 24) Current weight: 180 (size 12/14) I have 2 more lbs to first goal, 30 lbs to ultimate goal!!!

I am 6 pounds and 7 weeks away from 100 pounds. My first BIG GOAL, so exciting!! Although my UGW (ultimate goal weight) would be to add another 30-35 pounds to that, I am not complaining and could live the rest of my life happy with the 100 pound loss.

well yes, the chef and trainer help again......im jealous

You are incredible!!!! Although I must say I'm a little jealous at how much better males do at this

do you mind telling us what happened?

this week marks my 7 month surgi-versary.......I also hit that point I heard of where i'm hungry every 2 hours - literally!! I increased my calories to 1000 per day, Anybody else experience this yet???

Woke up in ONE-DERLAND today! Finally

My head hunger is out of control!!! The past 5 months was no big deal if I gave into it because I was limited to 2-3 bites. Now, if I want ice cream, or burger or whatever.....I can finish it all. I've lost 75 lbs, but I want to lose another 50. How can I do it eating normal amounts????

1-2 lbs per week sounds good! Most ppl wish they could hit that number. How far in are you? I am 5 months in and hit the half way mark of my goal this morning. That gives me another 7-13 months to do it

Where in Jersey? I'm in Wilmington, DE

I'm 4 months post op and currently stalled. The scale has not moved in almost 3 weeks and invert frustrated

Hi fellow Nov sleeves!!! My surgery date was 11/21, I'm down 62 lbs. Great except now the scale hasn't moved in almost 3 weeks! I get 65-80 g of protein daily and about 64 oz of water. Calories typically 800-850. Anybody else experience a stall yet? I'm so frustrated!

Wow!! I had my surgery 11/21 and I'm down 62 lbs. you are amazing!!! I'm experiencing a stall now, almost 3 weeks. I am very frustrated! Reading threads now to figure out how to break through

Surgery 11/21, 62 lbs lost. My scale hasn't budged in almost 3 weeks and im getting frustrated. Anyone else experience a stall yet??

Black coffee, no extras

No, not decaf....I should have been more clear. Could it be the caffeine?

I've been playing up & down with the same pound for 2 weeks. The only thing different in my life is the cup of coffee I allow myself in the mornings. Do you think one cup of coffee could make that much difference?

Surgery 11/21/12 = 278 Today 03/15/13 = 219 Had the usual 3 week stall, and again at Valentine's ( choc & wine) back on track & melting again!

AWESOMENESS!!!

My doc instructed no alcohol for the first year. I'm so surprised and jealous to hear its okay to drink a few weeks/ months out?!?!? Anyone else willing to admit to having some drinks? Any negative effects?

Its your journey, not theirs. Its your body, not theirs. Its your happiness, not theirs. Remember you are never alone. I considered this surgery for over a year, I read lots from experienced patients and I prayed. And I did NOT consider any input from "well meaning" friends or family. Best wishes to you LovinMe!!
