Let's Check In November 2012 Sleevers!



Recommended Posts

Hello all you November sleevers! Has anyone really slowed down at this point? I have so much more to lose and at the rate I'm losing at now it will take a VERY long time to get there. I'm stressing because I hear that most weight is lost within the first year after surgery. I'm only losing 1-2 lbs per week (sometimes less) and still need to lose 60 more. Are any of you in this situation? Should I try to go back liquids for a bit or increase calories for a bit? I hear suggestions for both' date=' just don't know which works.[/quote']

That's what I'm losing a wk on average. I thought that was good. Is it not? I'm 16 lbs from what dr. Bell had said I would lose. I'm not sure how much I should lose for my height. Ugh going in next month and will discuss it eith him!

highest weight 224#<br />sx weight 212# (11/20/12)<br />current weight 166#(4/3)

We are very similar stats - I am not sure what I am losing a week but I am happy overall. I tend to stay at the same weight or even go up a pound and then suddenly I am down 2-3. I think our bodies are still in adjustment mode.

Highest weight & surgery weight: 224 (I was on prednisone which caused me to gain my preop weight back right before surgery - they almost cancelled it!)

Current weight: 164

I am not totally clear on what my doctor's goal weight for me is. I am going to nail him down on that at my 6 month follow-up. I know the BMI charts for me (I am 5'3") say 135. I can't ever imagine being that small. I would be fine at 150. We'll see.

Congrats everyone!

My weight is still coming off about the the same....I average 2-2-1/2 lbs. a week. I was sleeved 11/6/12. Starting weight 251, current weight 177. I'm 5'2". Haven't had any major stalls. It's just been slow and steady. Bought a fitbit device 10 days ago and have been doing 10,000 steps a day, which entails either a morning walk or an evening walk. I'm hoping that will result in a good loss when I weigh on Sat. Congrats to all.

Congrats on your weight loss! I'm 5'0" so I'm shorter. I don't think I could ever weigh 135# myself. I already had my family physician tell me that plastic sx is a must:-( I kind of figured that...so I'm guessing some weight will be lost there too. My mom had a Tummy Tuck and her back done and she lost 20-25# from the sx. So i have to consider dropping more weigh when i have my sx done. 150# is all my dr thinks I'm going to drop to but if I need to lose more I'm going to bust my butt to lose it!

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
