2mths out today and down 32lbs! Slow and steady! Love my new me!

Checking in on my fellow August sleevers. Running into the frustration of being finished before anyone else at the table. Still can only eat about 6 or 7 bites. Working on slowing down each and every time. Think i am down to nearly two minutes a bite lol. Love, love, love my new stomach. It is doing it's job by getting me full with just a little bit. Upped my Protein intake because I have more hair strands in my brush and comb. Have become great friends with cottage cheese, as too many Protein Drinks in a day become tiresome. So far I have lost 44.8 lbs...sleeved 8/29/13. Hope everyone else is feeling better since we are a little further out from our surgery month. Good luck to all.

My cloths hanging..my ankles dt look like ham hocks..I can walk a lil further..I'm just takin it all in slow n steady bcuz I no I control this now..mks u wanna jus shout

Hi everyone. This is my first post. I was sleeved on August 21, 2013. I'm still on the stage one clear liquid diet, but I am really anticipating the stage two full liquid diet. I've been following my Fluid and Protein intake and although I don't feel hungry or have cravings, I seem to be feeling a little weak. Can't wait until I can wrap my lips around a smoothie or some yogurt. LOL

Update!!! THe scale has moved 5 pounds !!!! Woohoo!! More Protein and water...

I was sleeved on August 1st! Guess what?
I can put my own shoes without feeling like I'm dying...
No more stress incontinence....
Goodbye Diabetes!
Best of all I'm not obsessing on food anymore....
I started at 257....pre op diet got me to 243...this morning I weighed 214.5lbs
I'm even starting to see body parts I haven't seen in over a decade... Back pain and foot pain are a thing of the past...
Feeling good!

Yeah. I lost 30lbs in 14days. It was ruff but I'm doing a lot better now.

I think we (myself included) need to take a step back and stop stressing. I know that we are in this together, but I've found myself worrying over a stall, comparing my progress post op to others with surgery dates near mine, and at times wondering if I will be one of those people that the procedure didn't work for. If you are anything like me, I spent YEARS lamenting over my insignificant weight loss or significant weight gains. Now I have a tool that in three weeks has worked better than an entire year of weight watchers, and yet I'm all chicken-little-the-sky-is-falling because I'm not losing FAST enough?? Admittedly, patience is not my strong point. When I thought about it in those terms, I felt like I was poo-poo'ing all of the amazing progress I've demonstrated so far. Seriously, when have I EVER LOST 30 pounds in two months? So if I'm stalling right now, so be it. I know my weight loss will come.

I finally got back to the gym today. I only did 20mins on the elliptical because I didn't know how my body would react and I didn't want to over do it. It felt good. Then I did 20laps in the pool. I am really amazed at how much more energy I have. Normally after I get home from dropping my kids off at school I go back to sleep cause I'm so tired but lately I'm wide awake.

I agree Dee. I know I've lost a nice amount but I expected to lose more. When you hear of people losing 30 lbs in 2 weeks and you only lose half of that its kind of a bummer.

Weighed myself this morning -4 more lbs... That's 27 lbs in less than 3 weeks... I LOVE MY SLEEVE !!

Hi fellow August Sleevers. I was sleeved on August 21st. (2 weeks out). So far I am thrilled that I made this decision. Sometimes though, I get a couple of hunger pains during the day. I never felt those prior to the surgery. It's like my body is reminding me to eat. Before, I just ate to eat. I guess my body never got the chance to tell me before. Currently, I am trying to get down a few more calories. Anybody else experiencing this phenomenon called the feeling of hunger? LOL

Funny thing is, prior to surgery I never liked ice or anything too cold for that matter. I always went with room temp liquids. However, now ice has become one of my favorites. I am in love with the sugar free tropical flavored popsicle. Yum. Feel better!

I have the Jay Robb powders in chocolate and vanilla and am enjoying both of them. I've been using my nutri bullet to blend the powder with ice, almond milk, and half a banana...tastes like a milkshake:)

I was sleeved on August 27th.

Congratulations!!
I too had my first post op appt and lost 21.5...very excited

They say on average it takes about 15 lbs to drop a dress/pants size. Has anyone been shopping for new clothes yet? Right now, my pants are only slightly looser, I can't wait to start shopping for new clothes though.
