    Rach8610 got a reaction from VSGmary in Sleevers over 300lbs?   
    I started this journey in June weighing 423 lbs I was put on a modified liquid diet and asked to lose 20 lbs. In July I weighed in at 403...then in Aug 387 ...I had surgery on 9/17 and weighed in 383...Today I am 374....I have about 176 more lbs to lose and I have a feeling for the first time in my life, I can look forward to actually losing this weight.
    I dont know how close to goal I will get, but I like the fact that I know I have a fighting chance at getting there!
    I hope you keep in touch!! I would like to see how your doing!!!!

    I cant believe its been almost 4 months since my sleeve surgery on 9/17!!!! I feel fantastic and I just am settling into my new life. Lots of changes...
    I have not yet tried to eat bread or Pasta and I am not sure when I will even attempt it. I have had a few bites of corn tortilla and corn chips. I have tried some potato chips...the magic number is 10 chips.
    I have not eaten anything crazy, but I have tried to eat baked french fries, but usually the magic number is 5....
    I eat a lot of greek yogurt...my fav is dannon light and fit..its only 7 or less grams of sugar and 12 plus grams of Protein.
    I like baked chicken and cottage cheese and I try to drink one Protein shake with spinach and blueberries a day.
    I have been hitting my Protein goal of 105 grams almost daily and only fall short on the weekend. its ironic the weekends used to be when I would gain weight for he week and now I almost all but forget to eat!
    I am feeling much more energetic now and I love to try on my clothes that never fit before.
    I would like to see some more weight loss and I know I need to work on working out.
    For the most part, I am feeling GREAT!!!!

    Its time for another challenge! This challenge will be beginning with the first weigh in and goal on Monday, January 5. From there on after, weigh ins will take place Monday. Last weigh in will be Monday, February 16 2015. This will allow a total of 7 weigh ins in all. The link for the spreadsheet is posted below. This challenge will help start the new years off right.



    Few reminders

    You will know it is updated once I have liked your post.
    Please post weigh ins here in this post only.
    We are all here to support each other..so questions posted here will be answered by anyone else willing to help.
    If you want to adjust your goal weight, just add that in any reply to this post.
    if you miss a weigh in...no biggie. Just report back in the next week.
    But If you missed three or more weigh ins, i will amuse that you no longer wish to continue the challenge and your name will be removed from spread sheet.

    @@Rach8610 I probably should have posted my intro before posting this but I'M SO FREAKIN' EXCITED to meet someone chose the same surgeon I did! I was 451 when I started and by the time I met Dr. Patterson I was down to 420. She wants me down to 395 before I start, but honestly I'm struggling. I think, no, I know I'm back up, but I'm not sure how high. I have to go see her again next Tuesday and I'm a bit nervous.
    My insurance will not let me have my surgery until Feb or March, but I'm trying to push it out until April when my paid time off kicks in again.
    What was your experience of this whole process at the OWLS clinic? Oh, and did you get to meet Biscuit?
