Recommended Posts

Ok my November Sleevers...we are gonna shake things up a bit. We have 3, count them 3 big holidays coming up and ending with the start of 2013. Now some of us are getting sleeved at the beginning of November while others are more towards the end of the month. Regardless of when we get it done, the point is we are. So that being said...here's my challenge for the November Sleevers, well 3 challenges really.

Challenge #1

November Challenge: ends on 11/22/12.

~ Surgery Date (SD):

~ Starting Weight (SW):

~ Current Weight (CW):

~ Goal Weight (GW):

* Bonus: Inches Lost.

* Just keep track of your measurements if you don't want to post them here. And just update how many inches you have lost on your weigh in dates. This will let you see your progress even if the damn scale isn't cooperating. LOL.

Challenge #2

I posted this for the November Sleevers so that we can keep in contact with each other and stay motivated. But I post one in the post-op folder too.

Ok my November Sleevers!! I know there are a few challenges out there already, but I thought it would be nice to have one rocking for those of us that had our sleeves done in November. This way we track with people on a closer timeline with our own. Feel free to use it or not. Totally up to you. Hugs to you my November Sleeve family. Happy holidays and happy losing!!

December Challenge: ends on 12/25/12.

~ Surgery Date (SD): 11/20/12

~ Starting Weight (SW): 320

~ Current Weight (CW): 297

~ Goal Weight (GW): 275, with an ultimate goal of 270 cuz it would be a nice belated birthday present for myself (birthday is 12/21).

* Bonus: Inches Lost. Haven't measured myself yet. Was waiting for my 1 week follow-up on 11/28 to do that.

Tally I am definitely in! Should we set up the criteria for the areas we should be measuring so we are all measuring the same areas? This will lead to less discrepancies...thoughts? Otherwise, I will post my stats shortly...

That sounds like a plan. I was gonna measure my upper arms, bust, waist, hips and thighs.

Ok...I haven't measured as yet, but wanted to post my stats nonetheless:

Surgery Date: 11/19/2012

Starting Weight Preop: 256

Weight on date of surgery: 240

Current Weight: 233.4

Goal Weight by January 1: 220

Goal Weight: 165

I'm at a stall already...no scale movement since 11/26/2012. My NSV is that I fit comfortably in a size 18! I honestly don't ever remember wearing size 18! I'm pleased so far! Best decision I ever made! Hope all of you are doing well!

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

      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
