I've stalled for a while in the 160s but I'm not complaining THIS TIME. Im thrilles with where I am for the first time in life so weight loss is now stress free. I'm not to goal but I've found something greater. ..peace and happiness.

Hi all! I was sleeved 5/14/14. HW 235. SW 220. Current weight 162! But have been stuck for 7 weeks now. Very frustrating. I fell off the fitness pal wagon. Getting back on this morning. It does help! Do total lost poundage is 73 pounds and counting!

Mochax finding a buddy is essential. It may be time to tell someone even if they haven't been sleeved just so you have a source of support outside of the forum. With that said....be as negative as you need to be so you can purge it! I'm 5 mo out and I did nothing but complain for 2 months. Now--63lbs later and healthier than I've ever been I don't regret any part of my process. You will get there...I promise. Stick to the plan
..complain...pray...stick to the plan...complain some more and pray more! You will see in time that this was a great thing. No testimony without a test!

I use to live in Philly. I was sleeved there and moved about 2 months ago. What do you need to know,

May Sleevers in general we are 5 months out and we are redefining our normal! I'm about 20 lbs from my ideal weight but I couldn't be happier 65lbs down.

I love this! Congrats to you all...and kudos to me for being right on track w my weight loss. BTW in #s I was 220 coming home from surgery and I'm 192 now! Can't wait to get to the 180s!! Loving my journey.

Im curious about my own progress, but also wanted to give others a place to "brag" about their progress. We all lose at our own pace but to know that you're in a range doing well is another level of motivation I could use right now. I've stalled more often then not it seems like.
So I will go first: May 22 surgery; down 28 lbs and 2 of 3 blood pressure meds!!

Congrats!!! I'm two pounds away and you just motivated me to go take a walk! !!

Week 3 is pureed and not soft foods for me. I'm sitting here having my first "meal". 1oz of pureed chicken and perhaps 3 oz of black eye peas also pureed. So far so good. I was thrilled to cook again and the puree is a minor inconvenience! ! Two pounds away from wonderland!

I'm only 11 days post op but I flipped the switch on all carbonated beverages early in my process. It's odd that some docs say stay away for life and others allow it. My doc says never again and I totally agree. In my opinion if there is any doc that's against it and you know there is no nutritional value. ..pass ! We didn't do the extreme for weight loss just to lose the war to a drink. We are better than that.

May healing be yours in Jesus name. This may be a set back, but you will make a come back!

Literally in transit to surgery. Soliciting your prayers! I can do this and God already has!

Philly is here! And thanks for all of the prayers and support. Two days to go. A bit nervous, but yet trusting God for an uneventful surgery and dramaless recovery! I wish the same to each of you embarking om your journey this week!

Cherrytree I'm being sleeved Thursday as well! I'm feeling a bit anxious about the surgery. ..pain expectations...hair loss!!! After really praying, I've decided to accept these concerns over high blood pressure...chances of a stroke...sleep apnea...arthritis in my knees! Keep it in perspective and let God be God. He can handle the pressure. Lets stay connected (and others going in this week). Encouragement and accountability is key!
