Oh my word you look fabulous, well done you

Surgery date was 6/25, starting weight was 282. I am currently 172. I am lighter then my hubby for once. He has always been the trim one so i am loving it. We are same height and frame size. I am hoping to reach 135-140, with a little luck. I have been fighting plateaus more then before this month though. I am working out on my lunch bark when ever possible. Hopefully that will jump start me. Plus I am hopefully rebuilding the muscle mass I lost from this. How are my other fellow June sleevers doing?

What a journey this is. Starting weight was 282. I am now at 168.... about 30 lbs to my goal.

It's been a while, but I love to read all of your successes! So, I'll share mine: I'm down 82 pounds from my highest weight, 65 from my surgery weight on June 18th. Today I went shopping for a dress and I bought a size 8!!!
Congrats everyone!!!

Just do what you should be doing. Get your Protein in, drink your Water, go to the gym (or do whatever exercises). I did the C25K app and finished the 8 weeks today. Like I said, due to the special project at work and working 12-15 hour shifts, I can only go to gym on weekend, so it took me a little over the 8 weeks to do it, but I stuck to it. If you can't run all of it, walk some, then run some. Pace yourself and do what you can and know it is okay to repeat some of the days until you think you can do more. I love the app and it is free!

I was sleeved 6/25. My starting weight was 247 and 5'11 , day of the surgery it was 211 and I am now 150. I feel happy

Congrats!!!!

Hello onederland! It has been a long time but I finally found you! !

Hello onederland! It has been a long time but I finally found you! !

I had my surgery on June 19th. Was 294 Lost 10 on pre op. today weight is 227. Down 67. Very happy. I like Fred, eat 5 or so very small meals. I hit the gym regularly. I can't eat much at a time so the small meals help. My doc preferred me to eat three meals no more. But had trouble with that. My goal is to get down to 210.

Shewins- I am just starting a b complex and Iron to help with my fatigue and Hair loss. Pushing to get my calories up. Never thought that would be an issue lol. But all in all I feel pretty good.

I have gone from 282 to 209.... onederland is in site!

Sleeved on 6/25...I am down 73 total, 24 of this was preop. My bmi is improving. My land were good except my Iron is low and I need to raise my good cholesterol. Loosing some hair, but thankfully my hair is thick so not a problem yet. Feel pretty good other then a little fatigue from the Iron. Cold a lot which is strange to me since I used to get hot real easy. But again That is a side effect of low iron. Feeling pretty good about things. Definitely glad I did this.

Seeing these pics together was sobering. Finally I pic I am proud of next to one I view never again to resemble. Still got a ways to go but 72 lbs down its feeling pretty great. Down 5 paint sizes!

As far as my diet goes I work deep nights 12 hour shifts so my food choices aren't the regular ones. I will eat a lot of Protein through out the night while I'm working. I may bake pork chops or chicken and I take it to work for the next 3 days, and eat off that until I'm done. I will make a side, just what ever I want sometimes it may be potato salad with more protein in it. Some times for Snacks I will eat the special K chips or the Quaker popped rice snacks. I still eat pizza either home made or from dominoes my favorite. I don't have the healthiest meals I know but at most meals I can't even finish a whole slice of pizza, I can't eat more than 2 hot wings , when I eat my meals I take weekly, I don't even eat the whole piece of meat in one setting it takes me all night to finish out a couple of pieces. When I eat my sides its a couple spoonfuls. I have no secret except that I'm just eating what I want and smaller portions of it. I have still had days or weeks of stalls. I believe my body gets all the credit here . I know my results aren't typical but at least 32 of the pounds I lost were in pre op diet stage.
So if you are feeling down or bad about your loss don't because our body's are so different. At work I stay very active and I'm doing a lot of walking,and it appears to help out a lot. I know I need to get back in to the gym to keep my muscles strong but memberships are very expensive these days so I'm waiting on that. Just like everyone I have always had a weight problem and I have struggled with every type of diet , exercise program, you name it I was a pro at it but I couldn't keep the weight off. I lost weight fast then only to fail months or years later. I'm not sure if this time will be permanent or better than before. I'm praying that everything works out for myself and everyone of you that fight this war everyday with me. All praise to God for keeping us strong during our times of need. If I could wave a magic wand we would all be healthy. So please keep trying your hardest and don't give up. Thank you everyone for all your support.
