Hello all! I was soo happy to see this thread. I have found several of the conversation very helpful. I was sleeved Dec. 28' date='2011. I have lost 24lbs since my pre-op liquid diet. I would love to continue to connect with other AA sleevers.[/quote']

Hey ladies' date=' and gents, can any ladies that started near my stats give me your stats? I'm 5'6 currently 280, hoping to be 260 by surgery (July.) So anyone from 260-280 can you tell me how much you have lost, your goal size, your current size and how many months out you are. If you have before an after photos that would be nice too. Also can you tell me about your excess skin? Thanks.[/quote']

Hey Kiki, I started out at 287 when I started this journey and by surgery day(12/13/11) I got to 260.8 lbs. I'm 5'5 and 30 y.o. I'm 3months out and currently weigh 200lbs so since surgery I've lost 60 lbs. I started out wearing a Lane Bryant 24W, surgery day I wore a LB 20W. And as of right now I'm wearing a misses out of Macy's 16 which is actually kinda loose in the waist

But fits my calfs snugly (I naturally have curvaceous legs). And yes I do have some lower abdominal loose skin which is gross but I'm trying to exercise it out. Good Luck with your surgery and rock your sleeve to the max. Btw I don't eat any carbs at all, just lean meats, Beans and veggies.

Thanks for the response. I'm eating very little carbs now. I started about a week ago. I want to focus on high Vitamin enriched greens. I had asparagus for the first time yesterday. Very delicious. I'm a vegeterian, so my diet consist of soy foods, and now more veggies. So let's see how this goes. I'm getting a bike soon so I can get some exercise. I love bicycling. I'm currently a 22 in LB jeans, and a 22/24 top. My button down from them is a 26. I got big boobies. What is your goal? I'd love to get to 125, but I'm okay with 130-145.

Oh ok that's cool I've been thinking about transitioning to being a vegetarian but I wonder about getting my Protein in now easily. Keep us posted after you get sleeved to know what your eating and how's it goes please and thank you. As far as my goal ultimately I would like to be at 150 and even there I think my frame is too large to weigh that little but we shall see.

At the beginning stage I'm sure it will be shakes etc. But unless I lose appetite for particular things my diet will probably stay the same. I eat eggs, and dairy, etc. You can check out my youtube watchmeloseit2012.

Good Morning everyone! This is the day that the Lord has made. I WILL rejoice and be glad in it! God has blessed me with the resources necessary to pay for my sleeve. I am so thankful that I will be traveling into Mexico this morning to have my sleeve done. I'm thanking my Heavenly Father for safe travel, compentant doctors and hospital staff, a swift recovery and last but certainly not least, weight loss that will motivate myself as well as others. I am thankful for the improvements in my health and to my self esteem. I am thankful that the quality of life for myself and my family can only get better than it already is. I love You Lord! I am so thankful!

I do not own a scale, so I rarely weigh myself. I stepped on the scale at my Mom's house...and I've lost 10 more lbs! Yay! That's a total of 43 lbs in 5 weeks! I keep pinching myself...I never thought I could lose weight and I feel as if I am living a dream! I will be so glad when my physical therapist releases me to exercise, so I can really get active :)

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
