I am 4'11" and was sleeved on 2/7/2012. My start weight was 208. My current weight in 110-108. I have a small complication of extreme pain caused gas due to stomach acid that developed at the 9 month mark but that was resolved with medication. Very happy now that everything is normal. Best decision I ever made!

Your awesome!! I'm 5'0 I would be happy at 135!

How's everyone doing? I'm down another 6lbs since my dec 29th post. Little frustrated to only lose 6lbs in a month when I see so many people with big numbers. And being back at work have a co-worker get gastric bypass 2wks before my sleeve and she's down 45 and I'm down 23.

Gonna start the gym next week with a personal trainer, doctor says in free and clear with no restrictions.

I can see how that can be discouraging. But look at it this way. You chose this surgery for a reason. And it still isn't good to lose super super fast regardless if you have surgery or not. So take your loses and work on a better body. We don't just lose pounds we lose inches as well. And with your slower loses verses your coworkers steady loses, you have the time you need to sculpt your body. I'm hoping for great result as far as the numbers go too but I'm more focused on not having saggy skin and sculpting my body. So it's okay you got this and you are doing great it's still 20 plus pounds less the. When you started.

I hate going by what others have lost! I feel like I don't add up or maybe I've done more than others. It's a weird feeling. I did have a TOTAL NSV today. I had to go buy a new dress for dinner tonight since all of mine were too big. Well- I bought a new dress and it is a wait for it- size 12! What?! This girl in a 12!!! Woo hoo!

I have stalls (real ones, which by definition are 3 weeks at least with no weight loss) long ones! So my losses are slower than most people you see here and I am assuming, as I get closer to goal they'll get ever slower, but I'm down 50 from the start and happy about that. I'm also shooting for about 110 as my goal (I maintained 108 for over ten years, 8 years ago). I'm down to an 8 when I was in a 16 and I have found that a few of them are getting too big rather quickly given how slowly I lose weight dang it. I actually took a dress on vacation I bought two weeks ago and felt was tight...and it was too lose to wear LOL I'm wondering if at 137 I'm a size 8 pushing 6, what the heck will I be at 110 LOL I think sizes have changed since I was last thin.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
