Let's Check In November 2012 Sleevers!



Recommended Posts

I am 11 pounds away from goal of 140. Starting weight 240. 5 more pounds will put me into a size 8 pant. I am very happy right here at a 10 but Dr. wants me to go all the way so I have some wiggle room when I get on a maintenance plan. Which is hard for me to imagine eating any more than I do now. I get full fast, or don't feel well. I too will need a Tummy Tuck and MY ARMS. I have about 3" of ugly skin hanging. I am saving my $ for that, next year.

Everyone is looking great!! If you feel half as good as I do about the weight loss, we are one happy group of people. Happiness brings peace, right?

Hello everyone!!! It's been awhile since I posted anything on here. Things didn't go like I imagined they would.... had a lot of problems , but now finally on the mend. To date I have lost a total of 77 lbs , went from a size 22 to a comfortable 14.... Not at the size I was hoping for being 7 months out , but I'll take it!!! Just now able to tolerate food. I'm taking in 600 calories a day , which got me is good . Glad everyone is doing so well.

Thanks!!!!! Feels good to be somewhat back to myself. I got really depressed for awhile .... I gave a new meaning to " buyers remorse" . I still have some trouble eating , take it day by day , but am glad of the decision I made!!!

Not at all.... My new tummy wouldn't tolerate any food or liquid for that matter. My Gerd became extremely worse, no meds would help. I stayed dehydrated.... In and out of the hospital getting I.V's . My surgeon said that I was in a cycle that he referred to as 'Marianne" syndrome.... It starts with not being able to hydrate yourself and continually vomiting . I'm doing some better, can take in 600 calories on a good day. Finally have the right acid meds... thank God for Protonix!!!!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
