December 2013 Sleever Pounds Lost Log
semplycomplx replied to RunningA5K's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
HW: 308 lbs SW: 297 lbs CW: 242 lbs GW: 170 lbs 72 lbs to my goal weight! Total weight lost of 66 lbs from my highest weight! I feel great! I'm so excited about the new me. My goal weight actually changed during the course of this journey. After losing 66 lbs and it taking me down 3 clothing sizes, I decided I probably wouldn't like how I looked at my original goal weight which was 150 lbs. I don't strive to be thin. I like having a little thickness to me. So my new goal is 170! -
Loose skin! Do you have it or no? Is it inevitable?

I'm 5'4. I've lost 66 lbs so far and have went down about 3 clothing sizes. I have bat wings!! The loose skin on my arms drive me nuts, but I'm not experiencing it anywhere else. I was terrified of this before the surgery and now I'm learning to deal. Like a lot of others said, weight training is the best cure for it, to tighten it up. I'm progressing towards doing more because it isn't going away as quickly as I like but for the most part I just wear a lot of short/quarter length sleeves as opposed to anything sleeveless. I hope to be able to go sleeveless one day but for now, I'm just glad to feel lighter! -

My after!! Had surgery Dec 31st!!! My highest weight was 308 lbs. I'm down 66lbs to 242 and still going. I've had a fews stalls but I don't let them discourage me. I don't really have a goal weight but a goal size. I want to be a 12/14. I'm currently a 16/18 with the weight I've lost so far. My highest was a 24! I just want a normal BMI! -

How does it feel?
semplycomplx replied to LovelyLife's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm at little under 50 lbs down right now and it feels truly awesome!!! I also can't imagine what a hundred lbs will feel like but I know that it can only get better from here! I absolutely love it. More energy, loose clothes, don't get out of breath so easily! Everything i expected and more! -

Hi all!!! it has been a little while since I been on here. Dropped another 9 lbs since surgery. No plateau, weight loss has been pretty steady. Working out more and increasing my protein to keep it going!
-
After much consideration and many attempts, I have decided that RTD protein is not for me. Lol. The Isopure I can do, But none of the thicker ones. I got sick of them quick!
-
25 lbs down including my pre-op weight!!! Super excited. people are noticing and it feels good. Lol
-
Hey guys!!! Been awhile since I been on here!! Down 15 lbs from my SW. And down 25 including pre-op!!! People are noticing the lost which feels great and encourages me!!! I'm very proud. Just working on getting my protein, fluids where they need to be!
-
I'm doing pretty good! :-) Vitamins are going well. So is fluid intake. Not where I need to be on protein but I'm working on it. Trying to keep it consistent. I'm down 15 pounds since surgery. 23 lbs including weight lost pre-op. And people are noticing, which is great and encourages me!

3 full days post-op.... a little cramping as things are going down. feels weird. Haven't really been hungry but I eat or drink rather to avoid dehydration. These 40 grams of protein seem impossible. Will try again tomorrow.

Follow my Gastric Sleeve journey from Day 1 post op!

Jaime14, I'm having the exact same issue. I'm 3 days post of. Cramping. I haven't tried warm liquids yet, but so far I feel everything going down. I get a cramp like feeling when whatever it is enters my stomach. I haven't been getting much in at all. So the protein seems like it's going to be a challenge.
