January 29th is my anniversary date
Lost 149lbs so far
46 in the last six months
Hips lost 21 inches and 12 in my waist

I would like to loose 11 more pounds.

This has been the greatest gift to myself ever!

As of today I am no longer "obese" I'm ok being over weight lol!

I LOVED Dr. Foote I had my Sleve on Jan 29th 2013. I was at St. Marys for three days, no complications, no pain meds when I went home! I can't say enough about them they are AWSOME!!

My NUT says 80 grams too and I am 7 months out.

Ok had my 6 month check in.. had to add ANOTER vitmin! who knew "A" could be low? oh well... they seemed happy with my progress. I am getting married in ten days and have not had my dress altered yet for fear of it not fitting! Lord I hope it fits!!

Am SO EXCITED I lost 100 lbs on the day of my wedding! Now I am down 104... I doubted I'de ever see this day!

I hope this helps.

My personal Goal, as my doc does not do "goal weights" was to be down 80 lbs by my wedding on August 17, as of today I am down 75 lbs and still have two months to go!!! Do you know how HARD it is buying a wedding dress, and having the sales lady not believe you will loose weight? I've already had to take back one bought a 20 and four weeks later It was so big they could not alter it small encough... who would of thought I would ever have that problem? I LOVE my sleeve!!!

I stalled at the third week for one week but then the weight just fell off for a month or two. I was told by my surgeon that its just like a regular diet, the first little bit goes fast then stops (that’s when most people stop dieting). Our bodies store a chemical in our muscles for energy use, this chemical also retains Water with it. Right after surgery we use this chemical and the water leaves out bodies at this time. After the chemical is used our body needs it back so we store it up again, along with the water... hence the stall. Once we have gon through this cycle we start to loose the fat as our body now know this is a permanent change not a emergency short term event.. I don’t know if this helps but I found it interesting.
