Hello everyone! Just curious to find out how my fellow December sleevers are doing on weight loss. If you could post the day you were sleeved, how much you have lost, & any other info you want to share. Will be nice to see how everyone's doing. I guess I will start. I was sleeved December 10. I got home from the hospital weighing 255lbs. Today I'm at 233lbs.

I go thru weeks where I am stuck too last week has been one of them... I was 255 starting weight now 203.4 this morning.

My surgery was 12/19. I started at 285 and am down to 221. That is 64lbs. I am a stair step loser. I will go a week with nothing then I will lose 5 or more lbs and then I will stop and then start again.

Make sure you are logging your food, drinking your Water and eating your Protein. Get on myfitnesspal, it is free and there are many people on their that have had this surgery. A lot of the successful losers are eating 600-800 calories per day, less than 40 g of carbs, and getting in 80 -100 grams of protein.

Also if you haven't, take your measurements. The scale does not always tell the whole picture. You can lose inches and not see anything on the scale.

Everyone is going to lose at a different pace so don't compare. Also I am not going to suggest that you don't weigh yourself because I do every morning but don't keep weighing all day. Your weight is going to fluctuate, weigh at the same time and with the same weight of close or (no clothes).

I am almost six months out and I am really beginning to feel much better! More normal! I have been very restrictive on myself Nd I am starting to get a little more adventurous with my food! I am addicted to beef jerkey! It's my weapon to get my protein in but not the fat and carbs! Those were the three things my doctor told me to watch! I do track with my fitness pal and I have had heat results! My starting weight was 296 and today I am down to 203.5! I am hoping by the actual six month mark that I can be at least at 200! My goal was 100 pounds in six months bug I have come very close with only a week to go!

Everyone has done so well. Congratulations to you.

I was sleeved Dec. 4, 2012 at 285 lbs. Today, 6 months post, I am only at 257 lbs. Granted, I can't exercise due to an injury, but I thought that the weight would sneak away a little quicker than it has. I have a check up in one month and I know I am not going to want to hear what is said. I have not put any weight on. Hopefully, when I am on holidays in 2 weeks, I will be able to get to the pool more than I have. I wonder if Tylenol - 4000mg/day - has a negative effect on weight loss?

Still I will continue to stay on the path, I need to and even more, I want to.
