ANewMe9/21

almost 10 months out, still losing...slowly but losing!
hope everyone is doing GREAT!!!

The photo at the top left is me at my heaviest (489lbs) and the photo on the bottom right hand corner is me today at my current weight of 260lbs.

I am a few days shy of the two month mark... i am down 76 pounds so far

You will get there. It seemed like it took me forever, but then I lost like 6lbs in one week.

Hi everyone!
So glad to hear that each and everyone of you is doing great! I am 4 months out, 53 lbs down and I LOVE my sleeve!! some days are better than other but it's a learning curve and I am so incredibly grateful for the opportunity to change my life! As always I extend the invite to each of you to join the facebook group that's been set up. Just sent me an instant message and I will get you added. It's a great group of folks, small (only 60 of us) but we are wonderful!! All the best to each of you in the New Year!!!

Hey all. Just checking in. I finally hit onederland on Tuesday. I am 4 mos post op. I am a slow loser but atleast I'm losing. I have a tendency to lose a few pounds then stall a few days and lose again. It's been my cycle since the beginning. I had my 4 mos check with the NUT and she is happy with what I'm doing and all my levels were good, she says my weight loss is right where it should be. Guess I have nothing to complain about. I see the Dr on the 14th and I'm hoping to be down another 5 by that time. Keep your fingers crossed for me please.

Hello all!! I was sleeved 9/9/15. I've lost about 73lbs since 10 day pre op diet. 63 since surgery. I go back to my surgeon 1/19/16. I still have about 80-100lbs left to go until goal. I love my sleeve!! Hope everyone is doing good!!

Hi all. I was sleeved 9/16! So happy to see everyone doing well! Congrats to everyone! I'm doing well, sticking to the plan and still learning as I go! Best thing I have ever done for myself.

I had my 3 month surgiversary 2 weeks ago and was at a longggg stall! However, so far I've lost 65 pounds including pre-op diet and 45 pounds since surgery. I'm hoping for a great month number 4! Drinking water is still SO hard. I'm really bad at it. I hope everyone else is doing well.
This is me getting into size 16 jeans at forever 21. I was so excited!

Just keep at it!

Hi there my friends! Just checking in! Today is my 3 month Surgiversay.
I am down 41lbs.
This past month I lost 5lbs.
Not what I hoped for but I will take it!
I am upping my calories to see if it helps.
I hope everyone is doing great!

Hi everyone, I'm almost 4 weeks post op and down 15 pounds. I'm still feeling a little tired but other than that things are going smoothly.

I'm down 25 since September 2nd. It's amazing! I actually have some trouble eating anything other than soft foods. It feels like it gets stuck after a few bites in my chest. I love cottage cheese and Dannon fit 'n light Greek Yogurt. The vanilla coconut is delicious, only 80 calories and high protein. I've tried salmon and shrimp. Maybe I'm eating too fast odd. Love my sleeve! I started to work out this past week. I can't wait to get to onederland!

I am 1 week post-op and feel pretty good! SW 255, CW 245.5. Seem to get all supplements in everyday, but struggle with water at times. Already feel like i have caved just today having a few chocolate chips

Surgery was 3 weeks ago today and down 11.2lbs. I've got reminders in my phone for eating, vitamins, calcium & gall stone meds! I don't mind the alarms all day, because I feel fantastic! Loving my new sleeved life!

I understand that, I set reminders in my phone. It helps!
doing good, feeling great!

I'm 55. I've done great. My biggest problem is that I'm totally uninterested in food. I have to remind myself to eat.

I am 3 weeks post op and -20 pounds since surgery. Before surgery I lost 14 pounds. I am excited to be able to eat some foods again! And have way more energy now that I am on soft foods. Glad to be getting thru this process successfully! How is everyone else?

Well, tomorrow is my big day. I can't wait to join you all on the other side. I am so proud of myself on the liquid diet. I have lost 8 pounds and I am ready for the next step.

I'm done! I did it!! Had the surgery 9/21. Feel sore, but so glad I did this. Awesome feeling of accomplishment! Now, if I could just eat this jello.....

Finally getting to closer. Got INS approval today. Pre op visit next Thursday. Come on surgery date! Lol/ by the way, gonna be an October sleeved but always a September sleeved girl! ????

I went home the same day. So far so good. No gas. No nausea. I've been walking around the house and drinking liquid. I think I will stop pain meds tomorrow. On a 1-10 scale my pain is at a 2. I feel so blessed right now.

Surgery tomorrow at 1030am

Pushed back a full day. On my way now. Not as nervous after this delay. Here we go!!!!!

Going home today. For those of you that hadn't had your surgery.... make sure you walk walk walk!!! The nurse staff here have been amazed at how much walking I've been doing. When they say walking helps with gas and pain its the truth.
