I was 135 at the beginning of my pregnancy and 186 when I delivered. I gained 51lbs which is so much. My baby is 2 weeks old and im currently at 158. Ive been obsessing over the scale and weighing myself everyday and get really depressed if the number doesn't move (which it hasnt since sunday). I know this is unhealthy behavior but im terrified of not being able to get it all back off. My appetite was horrible when i was pregnant, i ate everything and was hungry constantly. It's definitely went back to normal and im not craving all the sweets and junk like before. I just want the confidence and the feeling of approving of my body back.

It also doesn't help my hormone levels haven't quite went back to normal yet. Lol

Crossing my legs and sitting on my husbands lap with out crushing him has been amazing!! Good luck to all you girls, it's the little things that make it! This may be too much info but when I look down I can see my lady bits just fine, makes shaving much easier!

I'm 10 months out, my surgery weight was 231 and I'm currently 135.

I hope all of your journeys are as great as mine had been!

A little update: I'm now at 135! I'm a little over 10 months out. Couldn't be happier!

Here's mine I was sleeved oct 21st 2013. My surgery weight was 231 and my current weight is 135.

I was sleeved oct 2013, I drink diet mtn dew. It hasn't caused me any problems. My mother who had bypass at least 8 or 9yrs ago also has drank soda the whole time and she hasn't had issues and has kept het weight off.

SW-231

CW-141

I was sleeved October 21 2013. Surgery weight-231 current-141

Thank you! & I actually still have a lot of fat on my stomach, and loose skin as well. I've been bad tho, I haven't exercised.

Was sleeved on 10/21/2013. My SW was 231 and my weight now is 144.

How is everyone else doing at 9 months?

<p>Anyone feeling like they don't look any better after surgery? I'm not sure if its the loose skin screwing with my head or what... I'm over a year out and I've been stuck at 183ish for four months now... I will eventually need plastics for sure.. I guess in my head when I got the surgery I just thought I'd look great, but I just dont feel it now that I'm here. Oh well. Anyone else in that boat with me?</p>

I have been feeling like this a lot! I'm almost 7 months out, and down 73lbs. My starting weight was 231 and today I am 158. I still feel gross and fat, it's frustrating.

I'm only 8lbs from my goal but haven't lost anything in a month...I'd like to push my goal to 130 but it seems so unreachable.

Thank you for the encouragement guys!

Hey everyone. I was six months out April 21st. I currently weigh 158 I started at 231.

The scale hasn't moved in 23 days. So I'm just wondering if this is it for me?

My goal is 150, & I would ultimately like to get to 130lbs.

Can anyone tell me what their weight loss was like after being 6 months out??

Thanks,

Cescelli

Hey everyone! I'm also 23 and was sleeved on Oct 21st 2013. I'm 5'1 and my starting weight was 231. I'm almost 6months out and currently weigh 159. I'm 9lbs away from my first goal! So far I've lost 72lbs. Here are some of my pics!

Btw you all look wonderful, congrats!

So I'm down from 231 to 176. I'm having a little stall and it's driving me crazy I just want to make to my first goal of 150.

My surgery date was oct 21 2014 anyone else around the same time? I'm interested in how your weight loss has been progressing.

189 today, it was really cool seeing that 9 turn into an 8. hope everyone else is doing well.

Yeah crystal light counts as Water I do believe.

I wanted to see how everyone else is doing?

I weigh in at 191! That's 40lbs down so far and I'm half way to my goal of 150. 7 of those lbs were lost on my preop diet.

I'm having trouble with Water, I hate it. Lol I know it's necessary. Also I feel like my hair just keeps coming out! Any tips? Just bought some Biotin Vitamins but they're HUGE!

I hope everyone is doing well!

I'm also from the area, just across the river in granite city. I was sleeved Oct 21st by Dr.snow at mercy Jefferson. So far I'm 39 lbs down.

Thanks everyone! You all made me feel much better.

I just saw this. I'm doing good I'm down to 199 as of today and I was 225 on surgery day. I'm doing pretty good with eating some stuff has made me sick. But it's all trial and error I guess. How are you??

So I weighed in this morning at 199. My surgery weight was 225. I feel like I haven't lost enough weight. I'm discouraged about making it to my goal..I know I still have a long road ahead I'm just worried.

Step one throw away scale !

I could never do that! I'd go crazy lol

I really need to stick to weighing once a week tho. I weigh everyday

Congrats! I hope I have great results like you did!

I lost 7 lbs on the preop diet and 12 my first week after surgery. But nothing in the last week. It's just really discouraging. Do stalls happen a lot?

I haven't lost anything in a week and today is 2 weeks ago that I had my surgery. I'm get really bummed out..

Thanks for this post. I was sleeved Oct.4 I'm 5'1 and was 224 day of surgery. Today I'm 199.6 a complete slow loser. I stalled for 3 weeks. I don't go over 800 calories a day. I'm so scared I won't reach my goal I have 98lbs to lose. Best if of luck to you.

Hey. I was sleeved on oct 21st, 10 days ago. I'm also 5'1 and my surgery weight was 224. I'm now 210.
