How much weight have you lost thus far?

.

55 lbs down

Good job!!!

Hey Yall, I am at almost 7 months post op and I have stalled. I know inches have been falling off. I am now in Med clothing from a 2xl. Thanks to everyone for posting. its a constant reminder that we can all do this.

It's been a long time, but I had to come back for an update.

Pre surgery: 266.6

Day of: 251

Current: 172

Best part is that pre surgery I had shrunk to 5'5.5", but now I am back to 5'7". Feels great.

Hey Fellow December sleevers... I've fallen off the site... back in school... post graduate stuff... (am I psycho or what?? lol) anyway... I have a NSV to share...

I remember a day when I could barely walk down a flight of stairs without being totally winded... when I got off work yesterday, the elevator to the parking deck was out... me... parked on level 10... I walked up like a champ... got to work this morning... elevator still out ... walked down 9 flights and back up after work...I am soooo elated to be able to be this physical and energetic! My niece saw me in a pair of jeans and a t-shirt that fit (size 22 down from a 32W) and almost walked past me... she said she did not readily recognize me! Loving my sleeve!!

I too have fallen off the wagon, sometime ago. I try to analyze what went wrong, and I think during my second very long stall, I became discouraged. This led to old eating habits coming along, more carbs that I should eat; Hence, no weightloss. so the circle of nothingless begins. No wt loss = non compliance=no wt. loss.

I have my check up on July 19th, and I have not lost a pound in 3 months. This scares me into compliance.

Does anyone else obsess over food like me. I use myfitnesspal to track my eating, even the bad stuff.

I need a kick in the a**. Feel free to do it for me. I welcome the critisism (spelling?).

Thanks for letting me vent. VSG 12/17/12

I track on myfitnesspal too! feel free to add me... same name...

I'm on My Fitness pal, too. Add me! tboosrn

Thanks guys, I'm rhodieridge13 on Myfitnesspal. I've sent the requests.

I am down 102 and counting! Sleeved Dec. 5th 2012 I have dropped down from a size 22 to a 14. No regrets!

My six month mark was 6/30 - down 85! Averageing about 10lbs a month. Hopefully it keeps up. Only 32lbs until i can apply for Air Force and 38 to my personal goal of 180. Id technically fall into the overweight BMI but i dont care. The BMI chart says for the HIGHEST normal BMI id need to weigh 168. That sounds gross skinny for someone my build.

I am right where you are at sister. We just have to start with the basics Protein, water, protein, water, protein, water!!! It sounds easy but once you have exposed yourself to carbs and old eating habits it is def not EASY! I keep saying i am going to do the 5 day pouch test (In our case, sleeve test). It will rid us of the "NEED" for carbs and make it easier to say "no".Not to mention, jumpstart our weight loss!

Girl pull up those big girl panties and get it into gear! There is no reason you can not jump back on that wagon and start again. Every day is a new day even better than that every hour is a new hour. If you eat one thing bad, dont let that ruin your day just eat better the rest of the day.

so i wanted to get everyones input on what they are eating now that we are about 7 months out.

favorite meals, snacks, proteins all that good stuff.

ive only met with a nutritionist once and it was 6 months before my surgery and have had no help what so ever with my meal planning.

my surgeon has seen me 2 times since surgery and doesnt plan to see me again until my 1 year visit.

i feel like im eating too much and not of the right things. so any advice would help! thanks
