Hey all just wanted to update you on what’s going on lately. I reached my first goal of 175. I struggled with a loooooonnnnnngggggg stall. So I went back to the basics. Protein shakes, yogurt, water. Now I’ve crushed my first goal and on to the final. 150! I am at 164 and so happy. Thanks for reading. Hw 289 Sw 243 Cw 164 Goal w 150

Hello. I’m a band to sleeve story. Here is my before and after pics. I was 298. Now 175.

Hey everyone!! Hope this finds us all doing good!! Here is my side by side so far!! Getting ready to start adding an exercise routine! God Bless!!

No, that doesn’t last any longer than a couple months. Then your hunger comes back, and food does settle in your stomach better.

Here’s my updated picks. Stalls sucks lol. I’m steady at 3 lbs a week, but have mini stalls.

Hey all!! It’s been a while. I started my journey off at 260. My surgery was November 13th. To date I am 185!! That is 75 pounds down!! Any doubters dont wait!! GET THE SLEEVE! It will change your life! Here is. A before and After. Once I get further down I will post full body!! #lovinglife

Brittney May I suggest you start using body butter NOW. Your def young and that will help tremendously! But body butter with coco butter and shea butter will be even better! I’m 46, not so young but taking it one day at a time. 254 to 209.....going to begin using the elliptical next week!! Good luck to you!

Your too cute and funny!! This made me giggle

Do the COBRA option. That’s what I have. It’s surprisingly simple to keep coverage and its just like your still working. Call them and get it set up! Dont loose out on the amazing journey!

Hey all! It’s been a great couple months for me! I had my surgery on November 15th with Dr. Bass in Naples Florida. This is the first time EVER I have been able to say I lost weight during the holidays! I started this journey with a weight of 254. Today I am at 209! I haven’t seen this weight since 2002! I’m starting to feel so much better! My knees, my back, my self esteem. I hope this finds all my fellow sleevers well!! Pictures will come once I’ve gotten below 200!!

I have found I need to weigh my food at all times so I don’t over eat! Right now it seems anything over 3-3.5 ounces is too much! I tried just eyeballing it and had a couple nights of tummy aches and nausea. Good luck to everyone.

I confess that I too modified the Puréed stage. I worry about how its going to go inn the next months. I haven’t lost as much as I want. I confess I am keeping pictures of me a secret so I can get a bigger effect from my family when I see them in June.

Hey all! I had my surgery November 15th. I started off at 254 before liquid pre op. To date I am 226. I am very happy I’m not dropping it too fast. I havent seen the 220’s in three years so I’m stoked. I tried to have a little smoked Gouda yesterday. No no no. My tummy did NOT like that. Nor does it like anything sweet. I am learning that I need to just stick to the plan. Lol. I am testing the waters I guess? And its just not happening. So my diet consists of cottage cheese, refried beans, yogurt, and protein shakes. I am not having any issues getting my water down. I am however very constipated. I mean BAD. Ive tried to add miralax to my water, but its almost like I can tell its there and its hard to drink it. Any suggestions? Anywho just wanted to update everyone. Hope I’m not the only one......
