I was sleeved on July 18th....Starting weight: 254lbs, 5"2........I'm now 224 lbs so I'm down 30lbs but I've been in a stall for almost 3 weeks!! It's frustrating!!! Anyways I hope the scale will start moving again sooon!! Besides that my experience so far has been life changing. It was rough in the beginning but I would do it all over again... It is soooo worth it! I cannot waiiit to get below 200.....it's been sooo many years since I've seen those numbers lol....anyways--tell me your story :-) Good luck to everyone! Xoxo

I was 273@ surgery, and at 5'4", I am now 243/240...depending on what scale I want to believe! While I am excited about the 30lb weight loss, I thought it would be more (Oh, I was sleeved July 3rd). I have however, lost lots of inches, and given away LOTS of clothes. Like you, I have been experiencing a protracted stall. Even with consistent, strenuous exercise at a boot camp...these pounds are so stubborn! I actually think I am not eating enough, and I know my Protein intake is not up to par. Good luck to us all!

A little more info, I'm 5'5", sleeved 7/23. Previous weigh in was about 3 weeks ago, and I'm down 11 lbs since that one.

I'm not sure about anyone one else but for me, I drink two cans of Pure Protein from trader joes everyday. I drink the one with 35 grams of protein. This way i have no doubt that I get my protein in.

Sleeved July 6 - down 55lb. Probably another 30 to go. Although, I'm feeling great! I can see how it would be easy to fall back into the old ways. I have to watch myself - eat properly and drink all the Water. But - it is still coming off.

      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!!
