Hi Everyone,

I would like to introduce myself to this forum. I'm from the UK mother of 4 working full time. I've struggled with my weight since I've had the children and tried numerous diets it's always the same old thing lose some and gain twice as much back. Then I started to look into WLS and wanted to have the band but with the band there are a lot of complications after which i read up on and decided to have the Sleeve.

On the 24/03/2009 I had the sleeve in Czech Republic through Cosmetic Bliss as in the UK you have to go through a company to have surgery because you could not go direct to a surgeon.

Any way so far I'm doing good I have been doing regular exercise as well and managed to lose 42 pounds since.

My weigh loss has slowed down now and I don't know if that is normal or not. I am happy with the results so far there would be no way i could have done this on any diets.

Anyway thanks for reading and if you have any questions or advice for me please let me know. I'll be more than happy to reply.

Take care.

I think for most people weight loss is very fast in the very beginning and it slows down with solids. We also get a little more comfortable with food as time goes by. Your weight loss is great!

What kind of exercise are you doing? Cardio? Weight training?

I hope I can get to the target weight I want. I'm still in my early days and I'm working hard, watching what I'm eating and doing my exercise on regular basis.

I'm doing a bit of both cardio and weight training because I want to tone up as well.

You are right, you are in the early days of being sleeved. This is a great thing! Your stomach is as small as it is every going to be. Take full advantage of this time and really push the low white carb and tons of exercise. Right now weight loss will be as easy as it will ever be. Take advantage and lose well!

Thank you for sharing your story. My weight loss slowed for a few weeks even though I was eating right. That passed and now I am steadily losing.

Hi Elisabethew,

It looks like you had the sleeve after me so how much weight are you loosing each week.

I think I worry too much because I have tried so many diets and failed.

I'm just scared of not reaching my target weight.

I know I should be positive but I just want to get to my target weight.

Anyway keep me posted of your weight loss.

Take care.

My doctor's scale says I have lost 35 pounds and my scale says 25. I'm working with a trainer and love that my clothes are too big and the inches are coming off. You're doing great!
