A nurse by profession and engaged but no kids. With my history of PCOS kids will come after I drop the weight. Starting weight: 280lbs Current Weight: 275 and losing everyday!!

Well, my date was Wed the 9th, but I was moved up to Monday the 7th. Will be sleeved this Monday October 7th

I'm admin with Gigi of fb secret group for October sleevers . It's much easier to comment navigate and we can each create our surg events for the group to see who's coming up . If you want in send me your email and u will be invited to join . It's private and your fb friends don't see the group !

Sleeved 10/25/12 @ 300. Today bounce between 218-221

Hope to get to 190....eventually! I'm stuck at this wt for about 3 mos now.

F/51

5'10"

Started at size 22/24 now in 16/L

I've been stalled also (205-209 lbs) for about 5 months. I joined Weight Watchers yesterday and will be attending meetings every week. I've been counting calories for the past 3 months and I've only been maintaining but it may be because I'm getting the wrong calorie totals on MFP. I'm looking forward to having face to face group support. There are plenty of people like us but they don't seem to post anymore :/

I was sleeved 10/22/12. I started at 302. Now at 188. I stall every once in awhile but I work out almost every day and keep my calories under 1200. It seems to help.

Minky and Brandy, keep up the good work! Us 2012'ers have to hang in there and hang tough!!! BTW I have not exercised at all due to my bad back. I'd hoped to be one of those that lost the hunger sensation, but as soon as I healed it came back. Ugh. So difficult! I'm either stuffed or starving all the time.

Me too! I always feel hungry. And I feel like I need to stuff myself so it will last awhile. I have to really watch myself.

Coming up on my one year 10/11 I have lost 123 pounds. I hit my first goal 155 but decided I wanted to go down to 150 to have a bounce between 150 and 155. I have added 10 plus pounds of muscle since April. So very happy!!!

So happy for you, SueJersey!!!! "You look MARVELOUS!!" When's your next cruise?!? I just got home from Hawaii :-)

I'm 51 weeks out & have been stalled at 70-75 lbs lost since June. But I also added alcohol & sweet tea back into my diet about that same time. It's been a great ride & a fun summer but I'm hoping to get it kick-started again soon with a 2-week liquid (Optifast) diet. But even if I don't then I'm a happy camper right here at 5'6", ~175lbs, size M/L & 14/16 !!!!!!

Hi Susan - luck you....HAWAII!

No vacations on the horizon for this girl, unfortunately!

Hubby had a serious car accident a month and a half ago so it has been a bit crazy around here doing both mom and dad duties. He is on the mend, but out on disability and getting bored.

I want to lose about 5 more pounds and am also working on building muscle. I go to the gym 4 days a week (it's a love/hate relationship) and am going back to the doctor next week for my one year check up. Hoping to find out exactly how I go about MAINTAINING. I think that is what I am stressed about, being able to maintain.

I have definitely made habit changes and Protein is always number one but I do enjoy some dessert here and there.

If you are happy where you are and can lose whatever else you want to slowly, then by all means, don't deprive yourself. I don't want to obsess about being thin like I obsessed about being fat, either way is a bondage that I don't want. So everything in moderation and enjoy your health and HAPPINESS! We rock!!!!!

Well, my date was Wed the 9th, but I was moved up to Monday the 7th. Will be sleeved this Monday October 7th

Praying all goes well for you today!! You will do great!

Was sleeved yesterday, feeling so so today. In a decent amount of discomfort, but will all be worth it it in long run. Will keep updated. Off for leak test.

Sleeved on October 7th, 2013
