  1. 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
  2. whoa, look at you hot stuff!! ????
  3. Looks like it has been a while since the June 15 folks checked in...how is everyone doing?
  4. look at you!! Beautiful!! Do you have any success tips? I'm feeling very discouraged..I had the sleeve in June..I'm losing on an average between 7-8 lbs per month..would you say that is normal? And losing tons of hair..help!
  5. congrats!!!I see you had a much bigger loss the last three months.. Did you start doing something different to make that happen!?
  6. I need help with that too!! I pretty much snack all the time instead if eating a meal..by the time I eat a little protein I'm too full for anything else
  7. wow!! That's amazing!! Do you feel better? wow!! Great job! What are your stats! Looking really good!
  8. I'm 5'2 and would love buddies to help through this journey.. Sleeved 6/17/15 have lost 36lbs so far yes!!! I have been experiencing a lot of stalls..2 & 3 weeks..so frustrating
  9. Yayyy!!! Yes!!! How are you doing? How do you feel you are doing?
  10. Looking for someone who had close to the same stats as me to compare things with..I had the sleeve on 6/17 and I began 239 lbs I'm 5"2. I've lost 34lbs so far in 2 1/2 mos. Anyone have similar stats to begin with..?
  11. 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.
  12. 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...?
  13. how long between the before and after pics?
  14. you look great!! Tell us your secrets!
  15. 3 1/2 months wow!! Did you stall at the beginning at all??
  16. 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?
  17. Hang in there, don't let things get to dark..when you start having those kind of thoughts..please find someone to talk to..remember the reason you went through this to begin with..take a walk..it does get better..promise!
  18. Yes!! The first week I felt so overwhelmed and all the things that everyone else said..Just fdo whatever you can to make your way through this..I promise you it will get better..I'm only 3 weeks out and already feeling better..hang in there
  19. 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" Beautiful!! Great job. TY for sharing, keep up the awesome work..you are doing wonderful! I can't wait to be able to post some after pics!
  20. Great job!!! Keep up the great work! When did you have your surgery?
