    I'm still hovering in the 196-199 range, which I am cool with. I am getting better at finding the right size/portion for off-plan stuff that allows me to partake, but not overdo it. And I'm getting pretty good at matching days of being off-plan (a slice of pizza with the family, for instance) with meals where I am very much on plan (boiled chicken for lunch the next day). I still weigh myself everyday and I make adjustments as needed.
    The only rough day I've had lately was Saturday, when we went to shake Shack before a concert. The line was so long that when we got our food, we had just a few minutes to eat. Even though I'd chosen a veggie burger (and theirs are small anyway) to stay on plan, wolfing it down in a hurry made me VERY queasy.
    Other than that, I've been doing good. Most of my meals are still the stuff I ate when I was trying to lose: Protein Shakes, tuna, lean grilled meats, raw veggies. I still skip most sweets and have small portions. I still eat Protein first.

    Hey all I got Sleeved 8/25/2017, started my journey exactly a year ago today weighing 357 on 5/31/2017 ...a year later I am 210 and feel amazing however I will say it is very easy to go astray if you dont work at it every day. Best thing to do is if you slip just get right back going good luck to all of you. It aint easy.

    I've been in a 5 month stall gaining and losing the same 3 lbs. I joke and tell everyone I've lost 50 pounds since January...but it's been the same 3 lbs over and over and over.
    Surgery was 14 Aug 2017.
    I've started back on my walking weekday morning. I'm up to over 3 miles. Try to get it done before the sun comes up and makes it 500 degrees in South Texas.

    Had my annual physical with my primary this past week and for once the conversation didn't focus on being overweight! He was extremely happy with the progress I've made and we were able to talk about other issues that I needed to talk about (my ADD) which was a nice change of pace. The best moment was when the PA looked at my chart and said, "do you know what you weighed last year when you came in for your physical?" and it was 2lb more than what I've been counting my starting weight at.

    Today is my weekly weigh in and I finally broke my 3 week stall and lost 4.4lb! I'm now the lowest I've been in my entire adult life. I haven't been this weight since my husband and I were dating and I had anorexia. However, I still have some body issues with clothes. By habit (and because its snowing...still...here in Massachusetts...in April), I put on a sweater that was 1x and it looks like I'm wearing a trash bag.

    My operation was on 8/21. I had a staple line leak and my BP kept dropping. I had internal bleeding, I was dehydrated and I passed out each time I stood up. It was super scary. The hospital staff was prepping me to go back into the OR when my surgeon decided on a different course of action, which was to stop the anticoagulants and let my body clot naturally and it worked! The whole first day I was in bed unable to move. Since I was unable to move, I had a gas bubble settle in my back under my ribs and the pain was second to child birth. I was given morphine and had a terrible reaction to, so that was a hard pass. I was given a pint of blood to recover what was lost internally. By day 3, I was ready to go home as long as I could tolerate my diet which felt next to impossible! Trying to get down 4oz of Protein Shake was harder than I thought.
    Now, I'm back to my FTJ as of last week and I'm down 26lb! I was given the ok to eat Cereal and soft meats yesterday. While this is great, I'm super scared that I'm going to gain weight and not lose anymore. Any suggestions?

    Nice to meet you Stace66! We are almost the same! I was 247lb before the pre-op diet, 236lb the day of surgery and I'm down to 170 as of my personal weigh in day this past Tuesday. I have 30lb to reach my goal.

    Greetings to my fellow August sleevers! I'm new here and have been following (stalking) you all for the past month.
    You all are doing fantastic! I'm losing pretty slow but am still happy to be losing. My heaviest weight was 232. My weight the day decision was made for sleeve was 222, and my weight the day of surgery (8/2/17) was 217.
    7 months post op, I'm at 174. 34# left to get to my goal.
    I look forward to learn from, find support, be supportive, and get to know all of you.

    Last week has been rough as far as keeping in my calorie range. I'm still tracking everything I eat and drinking Water. I'm getting so tired of drinking so much water. Is anyone else having this struggle? What are you trying to help over come it?

    Hey everyone!
    I've been stressed this week. At my full time job, we are in the middle of end of year and it is enough to make me pull what little hair I have left (yes, I lost hair but only enough to thin my pony tail. I had thick hair anyway). Well, prior to the surgery, I would have eaten anything that wasn't nailed down to help sooth the stress. Now, I can't/won't do that. I didn't put myself through this (and almost die - yes, I almost died. I had internal bleeding after surgery) just so I can fall into bad habits. But I gotta tell you what I want so I can get it out of my system. I want deep fried, salted, buttery, chocolate coated crappy goodness. I want bacon with buttermilk pancakes with oodles of maple Syrup with a side of home fries and eggs where the syrup just gets every where and when you are eating it you think that Buddy the Elf was really on to something. Please tell me I'm not the only one who has been there?
    What I'm going to actually do is drink my Water then get my yogurt and know that I currently feel better than I did in my 20's and this feeling of wanting to binge is going to pass and I will not have guilt for indulging the feeling.
    Thanks for listening!

    Overall, I'm pretty happy though. 111 pounds down so far. My wife posted a pic of me today with our kid. It was the first time there'd really been a picture of me on FB where you could see what I look like anymore. People were very nice. Here's another one I took just now.
