I was sleeved on 4/10 also. Down 42 pounds. I need to start exercising. I'm trying to find a place with a pool that doesn't cost too much.

Hi all! I had surgery 4/18, and am down 32 pounds... I know we all lose differently, but I'm a little worried this is too slow. I'm losing 1-2 pounds a week at this point. Is this normal? Any suggestions on how I can get the scale to move a little faster??

8 weeks today and I am enjoying the beach with my daughter on our girls trip! Just finished bronzed grouper. Eating has been rocky but I love my sleeve. I'm a slow loser. When I left town I was down 22 lbs and sitting at 200.0 hoping for onderland when I get home! So happy! Best wishes to all the April sleevers!

I am a long way from onelander, BUT... I have to admit yesterday was the first day I got up, got dressed and really felt like I had lost weight. I mean, I just felt thinner. I am sitting at 285 and I know for those of you that are way less, you probably think...REALLY????? At 285!!!! But.... I came from a high weight of 368, so I really do feel thinner now. My arms hang closer to my sides. I can feel my lower leg bones, my collar bones, etc. My summer clothes are starting to hang on me, but I really don't want to buy clothes until winter. A new bra, that I think I will just have to break down and go buy maybe this weekend. I can officially say, I am no longer a DD.

Well, that is my victory for this week. I actually feel thinner....better....happy....in control of my food. Wow, those have all been a long time in coming. Cheers everyone and here is to a fab rest of the week and a wonderful weekend!

<p>Hello April sleevers I was sleeved on April 10th and I weighed in at 235 I am now 198 and feeling so much better about myself. I can practically eat anything. Its learning how to detect when I had enough or a certain type of food that just dont work. When ever that happens I dont throw up but I salivate like a dog for about 10 minutes. Terrible feeling especially if im out:(

I was sleeved April 18th. Started 275 pre op. 256 day of surgery. 215 today. Super happy. Everyone seems to be doing so well :-)

Sleeved here in Dallas Texas on 4/10 weighed in at 261 and now I am 220. Without my sleeve I would not have lost anything and prob gained more. Took a couple weeks to realize this is just a tool and not a miracle. Pisses me off when people say things like "just fourth one pounds" or "that's it".......trying to stay away from the haters.....

You definitely need to only surround yourself with those that have your best interest at heart. Honestly if you lost just one pound that's a celebration. As long as its going down!!! Keep up the good work!!!!
