March/April 2012 Sleevers

Checking in with those sleeved in March/April 2012. I have had a relatively smooth trip down this path, but am faced with a 2 month stall. Not stressed about it, as I can feel my body redistributing itself, but I would love to see the scale move a few ounces at least.

Start Weight: 298

Surgery Weight: 248

Current Weight: 188

Goal Weight: 148

I am with you! My surgery date was 4/24/12. I started at 297 preop and am now 187. It has been slow going lately with only 6 lb last month. I am just happy I am still loosing! I have about 27 left or so and am a size 12. I am 5'8".

My weight has come off slowly but it's coming off. I still want to lose about 35 more pounds. This past week I have not followed the plan and it shows on the scale. But I refuse to be discouraged like I have been before the sleeve. I am giving my self a pep talk to get it back together. I didn't know how easy it would be to slip back into old habits but I see now that if you try hard enough you can fail.

Surgery 3 April, 70lb down and 30lb to go. It is slow but sure - no movement in Dec but I think tht could be my fault, too much snacking. I'm going to get back down to business on New Years day. This thread makes me feel normal as when I read other threads where people say they have lost 100lb in 3 months etc I get that little nagging beast in my brain saying "well you haven't done as well as them". It happens less now because I have told that "beast" that this is my journey and my body WILL lose the weight but it will take all the time it needs. I did think before surgery that my journey would take 1 year but it looks more like 15 months now but I'm OK with that.

Sleeved April 10th. My weightless has been slow and I have experienced many stall. I'm just now getting back the motivation to workout and track again. Maybe the new year will bring about something new.

Just checking in. It's been 18 months and I'm 3lbs from my next goal. Hope all you March/April 2012 sleevers are doing well.

Pre-op 260 lbs

Surgery day- 251lbs

Current- 148 lbs

Goal- 145 lbs

Still here, 90lb down now, just 10 to go. Slow but sure.

I'm using the 5:2 method as my weightloss had come to a complete standstill. You eat 'normally' on 5 days of the week and for the other 2 you stick to 500 calories. It's working.

Congrats to you and hope you get to your goal soon.
