Was sleeved on august 18 and I'm down 55 pounds! I've never felt so good! It's so crazy how your body feels and how much confidence u gain within yourself! I'm so glad I made this lifestyle change and anyone who struggles with weight loss I definitely tell them to consider this surgery![emoji16][emoji1376]

Yesss[emoji1376][emoji1377][emoji1377][emoji16]

Lol the person banned for lieing about there weight loss and creating loads of different profiles is an inspiration lol? She's not even the person in her profile picture lol. And she had the same weightloss signature on two of her other accounts lol.

Unfortunately, its not as simple as CICO (cals in, cals out). Without going into my complaints, for some, it's become A LOT more complicated than just cutting calories, trust me when I say that. For some, the weight just pours off and it DOES seem like it's as simple as CICO. But for others, many others (me included), just cutting calories isn't doing jack. Constant 'stalls', as some call it, or just no movement on the scale no matter how closely one sticks to the diet plan and exercise regimen given to them by their team. So, just be careful with judgement. WLS doesn't work the same for everyone and every body doesn't take to WLS like one thinks it should.

Hi all! The official challenge begins tomorrow! I'll post in the morning with the spreadsheet and everyone's stats who have posted them here.

My surgery is tomorrow Nov 6 at Northwestern Hosp. I live in the city - but always good to talk to local sleeved and talk thru things that come up!!

Today is my 12 week surgiversary...I'm feeling pretty good...my energy is returning and my body is getting stronger.

do you really need to carry on still about her? if the moderator took care of it then stop trash talking her and move forward. whats done is done cant go back and change any of it.

Oh thank God!!!!!!!!

Congratulations on your NSV.

Yesterday I went out in public in skinny jeans. Size 14 skinny jeans which were honestly a bit loose*.

For context here, I am the person who, even in my 20's wore mom-jeans. Big and loose, size 18/20s with a waistband over my bellybutton. Truly sexy, I know. I have a stitchfix subscription and one of my notes on things I want/don't want is "NEVER SEND ME SKINNY JEANS - It is never going to happen."
I feel like I'm having an identity crisis! I went from hiding everything to going out in jeans which are clinging tightly to me and making my butt look fantastic. I sent my husband a text when I went out yesterday that said: "I AM WEARING SKINNY JEANS IN PUBLIC WILLINGLY. I DON'T KNOW WHO I AM ANYMORE."
His reply was "A skinny mini with self confidence. "
Anyway, this is a big deal for me. My scale has been saying 200.00 for the past week, but my NSV seemed almost as wonderful as entering Onederland!



*I bought them last week. I went in thinking "maybe a 16 will work" and 14 did. 14 might be loose but I didn't want to press my luck and ruin my happy mood!

@Jenn1 - Whoa whoa whoa, let's not put words in my mouth!

Superseding a goal is always good!! YES!!

Thanks for this- I think 10 pounds is reasonable and would put me in the middle of none and some I'm OK with that.
I'll go home tonight, weigh myself and post....

Just try something doable go for 2# a week but don't get hung up on a number..u may lose inches and not pounds...u may supersede ur goal and that's a bonus

I like mine. He has a great reputation and is clearly knowledgeable. It doesn't hurt that he is also gorgeous.
