I will admit that its been a rough couple of months. I had a difficult time adjusting. But now that Im better I love my sleeve!! I feel like I have so much more power now!! Like before I was a slave and now I have control. And I love that feeling!!

I was sleeved 2 month ago (Jan 24th) and in that time I have lost 53 lbs and counting!!!! It feels great and I cant wait to lose more. Im hoping to at least lose 100 lbs by June b/c I have a wedding to go to.

I still have times where I think Im eating too much or I doubt if this is going to work but I try to just focus and enjoy the journey.

WOW! You have lost 53 pounds since january? That is awesome! It makes me feel a little better since my surgery has been delayed a few weeks. My brother in law's wedding is coming up in October and it's going to be at Disney. I'm soooo looking forward to feeling like a new girl by then.

Congrats to you, the sleeve is working its magic and so are you.

Thank you!!

That's fantastic well done I wish mine would start to move ,,,,,,,I have lost 35 and I am going away in June

I would love to lose at least 20 more pounds before then , but I seem to have stopped losing ?????

Are you eating loads , I seem to have about 400 cals a day my doctor said that's fine and no need to eat any more but it dunt seem enough ????

Most people eat 700/800 a day

Can you put an average days food on here so I can see how much I need to eat

Thank you .:0))) Ann xxx

Hey Annis53!! Congrats on your weight loss!! And actually I eat between 800-1000 calories a day. I usually eat only 3 meals with no snacks but sometime I will throw a little one in there. My thing is I dont do "diet" food. I eat full fat cheeses and real eggs. I use EVOO or butter in my cooking but in moderation and I only get the best. Now that I can consume so little quality is very important. I have been transitioning to a mostly organic lifestyle slowly with only a small amount of processed food.

Here is a sample

B - Plain yogurt with granola and berries mixed in or 1 egg with sauteed veggies and sausage/bacon

L - Usually leftovers or meat and cheese rollups. I like Turkey, Swiss and Avocado rollups. Or some kind of salad.

D - Varies greatly but I have had chili, casseroles, chicken with asparagus. Tonight I am making crab stuffed portobella mushrooms.

For fluids I try to do mosly water. I stopped drinking Crystal Light b/c of the aspartame. I will occasionly have a glass of OJ especially if I need a calorie boost. I drink organic 2% milk. I use myfitnesspal.com to track my calories. I try to eat as whole and natural as possible.

IMO I think 400 cals is too little. Maybe try increasing and see if you lose?? I dont do low carb but I dont eat a lot of bread/pasta/ crackers either so when Im over on carbs its usually from "healthy" sources. I stay in between 75-100 gms of carbs 40-50 gms of fat but again these are from EVOO and other natural food sources. I do not usually meet my protein requirements and thats b/c I dont do shakes. My labs are fine though and I am finding ways to increase this.

I agree 400 calories is too low. Your body is probably in starvation mode and hanging onto everything.

Woohoo many congrats and cheers to your continued success ! ! !

Thank you Tiffykins!! You are actually one of my biggest inspirations!! You look amazing and I starting out about 30 lbs more than you. If I saw you on the street I would not know you were ever overweight. I've always been big and I cant imagine myself smaller than a 18 but you make me think that its possible!! Congrats on all your milestones and your "surprise"!!! lol.

Congrats! I am two months out as well and down 45 lbs. I don't keep up with calories but I just make sure I eat over 30 min and stop when I am full. I don't usually snack either. Even though I feel like my weight loss is slow sometimes I bought a size 16 from a 22/24 so I Praise God for the Sleeve!!

Wow...Congrats! Im two months out and I've only lost 20 pounds. Im losing slowly!!! I wanted to have lost 30-40 pounds by now. I started working out last week and I increased my protein, so maybe this will help! Again congrats.

Yes mbridgeman27, it will help. I currently work out five days a week, so I have to continue ways to change up my rountine. Thanks girl and you can do it!
