Welcome! And best of luck with your pre-surgery diet and upcoming surgery. It figures your husband has lost more weight than you, doesn't it? My husband and I did WW together a few years ago. He lost 40 lbs and I only lost 7 lbs! Aaaaaarrrrggghhhh!!!! LOL! Now I'm getting close to his weight (I'm 6'1", an inch taller than he is ) and he has been eating everything I leave behind. I am looking forward to the day I weigh less than he does!

I realized this morning that I weigh less than my husband for the first time in 27 years. He's 6'2" and I'm 5'4"! It feels really good, too :)

I've been stuck at 97 lbs for three weeks now. Not sure what I can do to make it to 100lbs since I've been very disciplined since I had surgery.

Hello 50's Sleevers! I was sleeved LAST year 10/25/12. Wt loss slower than i'd hoped but i'll take it. Sometimes I see new pic or when wearing new outfit, and wonder WHO is this person?!?! Never been this small. Almost no wt loss for over 4 months now. So frustrating! But, Need to get back on track and drink Water, etc. hair still falls out from time to time.

No regrets! Hope to get in the 190's eventually.

F/51 5'10

I was sleeved sept 10 this year. I'm really getting out and about again, walking, and just feel good. Starting weight 188 today 168 not much but it's okay I know what I need to do to lose better, walk way more and bring my bike back to my room. I've got 35 lbs to go I'm 5'3".

Next week I am going on my very first cruise I am really excited. I wish I were already sleeved and well on my way to my goal weight. I would love to look good but that didn't happen so I will go on my cruise enjoy my family and vacation and the food. When I get back I will prepare for my surgery which is scheduled for the 25th of November. This is a very exciting time in my life.

I am getting ready to go on a cruise and I was sleeved 5/15. But this definately is not my first one

I am just gonna eat meat and take a couple Protein Bars with me (just in case) and a bag of Jerky

I will be having one bite of the deserts at night.

And I am taking my workout clothes, gonna do the walk or the treadmill.

And maybe try a little alcohol.

Have fun it is your vacation

Hello everyone' date=' I am getting sleeved 3/14. I was wondering if my energy level will come back. I am 51 5'6 and weigh 254. I am tired all the time. Anyone?[/quote']our stats were almost identical. It took a good six months till I felt way stronger than pre op. I have a ton more stamina now, but I don't think I'll ever have the stamina I had in my 20s and 30s again. I was thin and fit and could go like a mad woman.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
