    Just an update...I'm down 80 pounds since surgery date June 8...it is hard to believe!!

    Doing well, not really looking forward to cold/flu season ( I'm a teacher) as I can't just "take" meds.

    Starting weight: 233

    Current weight: 153

    Thanks for all the support June sleevers!

    hey what's your magic?? I was sleeved in June as well and am only down 45lbs.. I know we are not supposed to compare journeys but you are doing fantastic! Help! Lol

    I posted this pic in another thread but I thought I'd add it here too...

    It's a progress pic and just a head shot...

    The first is taken in December, which was just about my heaviest...

    I was then sleeved at the end of Feb

    The second pic was taken last week, six months post-op..

    65kg (143lbs) lighter and just over halfway to 'goal'...

    Kinda...

    wow!! That's amazing!! Do you feel better?

    Before and after 1 year later

    wow!! Great job! What are your stats! Looking really good!

    I'm 5'2 and would love buddies to help through this journey.. Sleeved 6/17/15 have lost 36lbs so far

    Hey all,

    I'm 5'2", and sleeved 07/23/15. I'm at four weeks post-op in two days. I haven't been losing any weight since the first week. I started at a BMI of 34 (176.5 lbs), and lost 12 lbs pre-op )2 week diet), and 12 lbs since surgery.

    Any of you with low BMI experience such long stalls (almost 3 week stall here)

    Thanks!!

    yes!!! I have been experiencing a lot of stalls..2 & 3 weeks..so frustrating

    Lost 33lbs since surgery June 16th. Depressed because my hair has now started to fall out. I know it only hair and that it'll grow but I try hard to get my Protein in, take Biotin and using Nioxin products and it doesn't even slow down the process. Feeling bummed today :-(

    I was sleeved on the 17th and I am in the exact same spot you are in..My hair is starting to fall out too..I've also lost 33 lbs..yesterday was really rough for me.

    you look AMAZING!! Could you tell us how long it took you? Any pointers or advice? Did you have any stalls and do any thing specific to get yourself moving again if so...?

    Here are two of my newest

    One is face...I just feel like I look completely different. the other is from soaking in some vitimin d in the FRONT yard yesterday while my kids played. I didn't want to scare the neighborhood with the full bikini (lol) so I wore my running skirt with a bikini top, but it was so awesome to feel like I could go layout in my front yard without being mortified. :-)

    how long between the before and after pics?

    125 pounds lost

    Absolutely beautiful!! May I ask what are your stats? How long did it take you?

    Thank you. I started at 267, I am now 142 ish. From a size 22 jeans to a 6/8 jeans, my tops were 2xl, and I am now a size small top sometimes extra small tops, I still can't believe it. I had my surgery on May 31, 2013. It took my 10 months to lose all my weight. I had 800 calories, and worked out/ walked 5 times a week. Didn't cheat, and eat extremely well. I hope that helps. If you have anymore questions please let me know.

    how tall are you?

    9 weeks out, 57 lbs down!

    looking great..have you been on a steady downward slope or did you have any plateaus? Is 57 lbs with preop diet or just since surgery?
    Thank you @DreamsComeTrue15. 12 lbs was during the week before surgery preop diet and the rest during.

    I've hit two stalls. The first was at about 3 weeks exactly. It lasted me about two weeks.

    The second one I have just finished and lasted me THREE weeks, yuppp three weeks... Smh. It sucked. I was beginning to think maybe I've just hit where my body is comfortable with. I was so afraid that I wasn't going to meet my goal of (125) and I wasted time, money and surgery for nothing. But I remembered my surgeons advice telling me, if you get into a stall, boost your Protein by 20+ grams and add exercises to your routine mix it up you'll be out of it... Did it for two days and now I am a believer that you must mix up your norm. I lost two lbs just by doing that.

    Starting weight, 240's

    Sugery Date, 228

    Today, 183

    GOAL, 125 (never been in my adult life).

    Age, 30

    5' 3/4"

    I had my surgery in August of last year and was 289 lbs then and not quite a year later am at 155 lbs.

    I need to get more pictures!! attachicon.gif ImageUploadedByBariatricPal1435720889.489653.jpg

    Shats are

    Sw 222

    Cw 146

    Goal 140

    I allow myself to eat what I want. Small portions of course. Very small portions. But I make sure to get 80 ounces of Water a day and at least 60 of Protein. I put in a full gym in my house, actually hubby did. And I utilize it at least 3 days a week. I don't put pressure on myself. Don't want to feel the pressures. Only thing I have not done is sweets. At all. Period. Cut them out 100%. Miss them. But don't do them.

    Great job!!! Keep up the great work! When did you have your surgery?
