Everyone is doing fantastic! It's been a little while since I checked it, but have been periodically checking posts. Things are going great! Starting weight 279, today I weight 219. I'm down an even 60lbs. Couldn't be happier and feel great! Hairloss is happening, but I'm not losing much. Way to go April sleevers!! I love reading everyone's progress.

checking in: sleeved april 20th and down 44lbs. i have started experiencing Hair loss, but so far it isn't noticable. reasons why could be lack of Protein, hormonal changes or something i'm unaware of. i'm very happy with my results so far!

Well, I went in for my three month visit and I have lost another 6. 4 lbs and I am now in 2 ville and I am so excited Praise God! So many years living in the land of the threes and in my surgeon's words spoken today and I quote " you won't see 300 anymore.

I have another new goal, which encourage me to push further to trying to achieve losing an additional 95 lbs.

I spoke with my surgeon and found that my inability to get in my Proteins from meat is not uncommon. Has anyone experienced the same issue please give me some ideas.

In addition to my 3 3-oz meals I drink 2 Protein Shakes a day now (took me a while but I finally realized the only shakes I can drink are soy) I usually drink these in between Breakfast and lunch and one between lunch and dinner. It helps me get in more Protein and liquid all at once! Can u not eat meat at all?

Hi ThisTimeisIt,

I can eat meat, but only so much an by the time I eat my pouch can only hold so much. i am going to try your eating regimen and drink my Protein Shakes one between breafast and lunch and

the second between lunch and dinner. perhaps this will help me. Thanks so much for direction and for such a quick response.

Hello April sleevers! July 19th will be 3 months and I'm down 50 pounds. I'm losing hair and stalling a lot. I have been at the same weight for over a week. But, the upside to that is I have gone from a size 24 to a size 18 and some 16. My friends keep telling me to stay at this size, but I want to get down to at least a 12 and will settle for 14. It feels so good to read all the wonderful success stories. April sleevers rock!!!!

The only thing I noticed is that you're not getting a whole lot of Protein and it seems a little high on carbs. At least 60 grams of protein. Always eat the protein first, then a bite or two of potato or corn. But 30 pounds is great.

I'm with RMS. I was told to count Protein and carbs....not calories. I get at least 60, but usually 80 grams of protein a day. Aim for less than 25 net carbs, but have wiggle room up to 50 net carbs a day.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
