Thanks- after the leak, the weight loss has been pretty constant which is great- I had worried how it would go with the complications. So I am pleased with the results and proud that I have worked so hard to optimise the outcome - my measure of this is based on my fitness more than the scale though- I still don't own a scale at home, just weigh at work (I work in a hospital) so it helps me resist focusing too much on the scale as opposed to other things but for me, the vital thing after 2 1/2 months in hospital was strength, stamina and fitness

Good morning friends!!

Everyone is quiet here so I hope that's a good sign that we are all doing well and being successful. I'm just trucking along. Nothing new to add. I'm maintaining my weight but I know I should make healthier food choices. I stay at a good calorie count but just not with healthy stuff. I even ate 5 pieces of bacon yesterday!!!! Ouch!!!

Yummy but not good for me. ????

abby, thank you and i am no inspiration i feel like i failed.

green thank you for the support, but its hopeless for me right now. i am starting my complete cleanse tomoorrow we shall see if i start losing again

A fortune cookie for you! I lost 75lbs on my own and (like often happens) regained it all again. That's what brought me to this point of pursuing a sleeve. I lost the battle but I'm not done fighting this war. And unless you and I give up we are not hopeless, we are not failures. We are fighters. You are taking a step to help yourself. You can do it! You've lost 60lbs and kept most of it off for 6 months. You have not lost too much ground and you can do it!

Morning!! I'm also maintaining but I'm stuck....need to loose more and it's making me angry that the weight lost has stopped. Other than that I'm doing!!

Hi all- I ham still going okay- the weight loss has reduced to about 0.5kg (about 1 pound) per week. I am exercising 5-6 times per week- running or doing ballet- who would have thought!!! I have about 30 pounds to go still though and I have trouble with excess skin on my upper arms. I have lost about 200 pounds though since September 2013 - so I am lucky that my tummy is okay and it's just my arms.

Here's a comparison shot cheers Liss

Wow Lissa S you're looking good!

Maybe a typo error though? 200 pounds since September 2013? I wish, hehe!

Sleeve op was on 09/18 and since then have lost 33 pounds. I have a long way to go but I hope I look as good as you!

Well done on your journey!

Haven't logged on for some time now. I see this site has combined with another site. I was so glad not to have list all if you guys.

I hope everyone is doing great!!!

Hi all…

I haven't been on in a long time either. Would like to know how everyone is doing. I'm doing well…except for the fact that I seem to be loosing and gaining the same 2 lbs for the last 6 weeks!!!!!!!! It's frustrating!!!!!

[greenfamily004 172]

Friends.... How are you? How is everyone doing? I miss hearing from you guys so please keep posting. We must keep fighting the fight. I'm doing ok. I haven't done a great job lately at logging my food journal. I'm trying hard to not get off track. I know it's Holiday time and we are all able to eat anything we want. I'm trying to keep tracking my calories. I don't always choose the healthiest food but I do track the calories. I'm logging about 1200-1300 a day. How are you all doing???

[jeepermom 14]

I am not doing great and I have grand ideas of changing everything overnight and then when I fail at doing it ALL I get really upset with myself. So this week, I decided to pick two things and just focus on those. Entering my food in my fitness pal is the first and back to no sweet tea/limiting my coffee suger is the 2nd one.

I have gained about 15 pounds back from the lowest I got and that is just not acceptable to me...so, back to basics...

We can do this!
