I think many of us feel the same way. I was sleeved on May 6. My weight loss has been slower than I expected. Hang in there your not alone.

Yesterday I celebrated my 1 year Gastric Sleeve post op (Revision from lap band) So glad I got the revision cause I was going NOWHERE with the band!

CW :209 my surgery was 1/21/13 and happy 5 months to my other sleeve brothers and sisters .. I'm down 90 pounds I feel like my weight has slowed down I have 25 more pounds I want to lose .. The first month was hard but after that smooth sailing .. So to you guys who are unsure all I can say is that this surgery was a life saver and I'm so happy

My surgery was Aug 24th 2012...I am 10 months out. I have lost 94 lbs and losing has slowed down to about 5 lbs a month so I just started exercising (walking) to help SPEED IT UP...LOL I still have a LONG WAY TO GO to get to my goal of 150/160 lbs...HOPEFULLY I'LL MAKE IT!!!

Yay, just about 8 months out and I have hit my initial goal of 100 pounds! I'm so excited, when I started this process this was my goal weight, I changed it a bit so I'm not at goal yet but I am 100 pounds down, Yay, yay, yay! The best part is my husband comes home for his mid tour leave tomorrow, so I get to show of my 100 pound lighter body to him! Here's a pic of the outfit I will be picking him up from the airport in. I wanted to also make sure I said a huge THANK YOU to everyone on here who has been so supportive in this journey. You guys rock!

Go to You tube and type in Dr Curry narration of sleeve gastrectomy. This was my surgeon from Cincinnati Ohio.

I got rid of a bunch of clothes in the good will but I soon realized I couldn't continue to do this. So I bought a sewing machine on craiglist for $20. Little by little, I am altering everything. No wonder rich people like custom made clothes, they fit perfect. Thanks Mom for teaching me to sew. Even doing the hubby's things.

Self pay for outpatient surgery in Ohio is 14,700. You get two years after care for that price. Dr Trace Curry in Cincinnati, Ohio. You can go online and look up his website. He did my surgery on May 6, 2013 and one of my co-workers just last June.

Today, I am One Month, Two Days out from my Mommy Makeover (Tummy tuck, butt lift, fat transfer, Lipo, breast reconstruction, and lift, as well as augmentation) with Dr Niebles ( Neibles) in TJ Mexico.
This man is a miracle worker, and I feel like I am finally in the body that I was meant to be in my whole life!
I had my gastric sleeve May 15, 2012.
Lost my weight (110lbs) right away, and then stayed at my goal and held for 6 more months until May of this year, and booked my body reconstruction with not so high expectations of the outcome. Every day I look at my body and I can't believe that it's mine! I am finally in the body that I belong in! I am about 10 more lbs down. I could NOT be happier with my new body and my new LIFE!

Thanks everyone for your encouragement. I just wish family and co-workers would quit asking me how much weight I have lost every time I see them. I think this is why I feel so obsessed with the scale and my weight loss.

Me too!! I want pizza!

Me too!! I want pizza!

I'm so sorry, but don't fret. I'm thinkin' the boys will be standing in line for your attention sooner than you realize!

Im six months also and yes I definitely feel like I can eat more all of a sudden.. I'm not sure if I could eat a subway ( I don't eat out much) but it is scary! I think at this point in our weight loss is when the "real" work kicks in and it is all about choices.. Something I've never been really good at but I am working on everyday.

Wow you look amazing!!

Oh I know this look so well!!
Honestly I followed the advice of someone here. I never answer the question by saying I only weigh in once a month.
If it is people I really don't care for I look at them, smile sweetly and say I have lost about as much as you have gained
Yes I am a mean girl!

When someone I don't care to speak with about the subject asks "How much have you lost", I say "Not enough." That usually gives them the hint I"m not getting into specifics with them.
