im 5'6! also thank you! haha

hey everyone! i had my surgery september 22, 2014. my starting weight was 322. i've lost 130 pounds since i last weighed myself, which i think was a couple weeks ago. the last time i was under 200 pounds was about 6 years ago. i now weigh in at 188!!! i cant believe im in onederland!! i feel great!

this is my new and improved before and after! i had my surgery september 18 so about 4.5 months ago. as of now i've lost 73 pounds!! my heighest weight was 322 and im now 249. im starting to definitely see the changes in myself. its taken me a while to see the results but my sizes dont lie! i can almost fit into a 14 which is honestly mind blowing. if you havent had the surgery yet dont hesitate. it sucks sometimes yeah when you get sick from food and what not but the results are definitely real. i never thought i'd be this size again. im so proud of myself. though i have been in a stall for about a month so i need to figure out how to get the scale moving again. but im very pleased with how i'm looking these days! everyone else here looks fantastic as well <3 <3

hey there! i was sleeved 9/18. i've had i think 2 stalls so far. but i noticed that when i kept my protein up and get enough food in a day that the scale keeps moving. i know what its like to feel sick when you want to eat. sometimes when i know i need to eat but i smell food it makes me want to vomit lol it doesnt last long its just annoying. but plus side is i've lost 47 pounds since surgery! goodluck to my fellow september sleevers

i have a very long way to go but so far i've lost 40 pounds! (though i havent weighed myself in 2 weeks so maybe a little more) i cant see the difference in person yet but looking at these two pictures shows me differently! first pic is from right before surgery and second is from today!

thank you everyone for all the wonderful replys. it makes me feel alot better knowing other people struggle with the same things as i do and that its a common thing we all have.

aww well im glad someone sees it! thank you!!!

im sure some of you have the same mental block as i do. i know the scale says i've lost 40 pounds which is awesome! and my family tells me they can see it. but i dont think i see it yet! i wish i could see my own progress but i see myself all the time i think i look the same. does anyone else have the same thing? i know i'm only a little over 2 months post op but i still feel like i look about the same. but i've heard that the heavier you are the more weight you have to lose to be able to start noticing. i started at 322 and im now at 282 which is awesome i just cant tell myself and i wanted to know if my fellow sleevers could see a difference that im not seeing! haha also what kind of workouts do y'all do? i havent been working out as much as i want to but i really want to start! if anyone has any good tips for workouts please let me know! pictures on left is a few days after surgery and pictures on the right is from today

hey girlie! good for you!! im almost 2 months post op too! i have about a week left until 2 months but i've lost 37 pounds so far! im amazed you've almost lost 50 pounds thats amazing. i was wondering what kind of stuff you've been eating lately because i have such trouble figuring out what i should be eating that would benefit me the most and what kind of protein shakes you're drinking lol they all sound like they're working for you!

lol first off you have fantastic eyebrows. like flawless. and second you definitely give me home that the surgery will work. i mean i've lose 37 pounds so far since september 18th but i have this lingering feeling that im gonna stay the same size forever lol but you look so great and our starting weight is so close that it gives me hope i'll look as fantastic as you one day! <3 <3 great job lovely

he told me that i had to really try to get more calories in and i did tell the nutritionist that i vomit alot and she said thats normal and that my eyes are still bigger than my stomach which is true because i always eat like 1 or 2 to many bites and end up throwing up. i dunno its weird and my stomach itself doesnt hurt at all i feel like its making a great recovery from the surgery its just im always vommitting but i know its because i take to many bites before realizing it. its just hard guys im sure you all know.

okay y'all. tomorrow on the 18th i'll be exactly a month post op. which is exciting for the most part. im in that annoying 3 weeks stall first of all which ive been reading about lately. i saw my doctor last week which he said was early to have an appointment but they set it up so i went anyway. he told me i wasnt getting enough calories per day. im supposed to be having atleast 1000 a day he said by now but i've only been having like 300 a day. as everyone who has had this surgery they know what i mean when they dont actually feel hunger anymore. which is still super weird to me. but almost every single time i eat i vomit. it doesn't hurt that bad i just know that its weird and i dont like it lol someone please if you have any advice on something i can do to get proper nutrition in without vomitting everytime i eat that would be awesome. i've been lacking on my Protein shakes but i'm working on it. any advice would be appreciated.

thanks everyone! its just hard sometimes im sure you all know. i'll definitely have to try some of those soups though

Well, I was sleeved 9/18/14 im 11 days post op. when i weighed myself a week post op i was surprised. as much as my family tells me i look like i've lost weight i dont see it. but when i weighed myself a week post op and to now i've lost 20 pounds since. i know thats good news and i should be super excited which i am but im just so frustrated with this liquid diet. im on full liquids now which is better than the Clear Liquids. i swear if i never have broth or popsicles again i would be totally okay with it lol. i guess its just hard because im so tired and weak all the time. can someone please give me some advice on what they took or ate during their full liquid diets. any good suggestions on Soups or anything with more taste or something.
