FEBRUARY SLEEVERS 2013....how you doing after you've been Sleeved



Recommended Posts

Ahh, someone like me....I was taking weekly pix and not seeing any difference and getting discouraged with what I saw. Weight was coming off (slowly) and inches were moving around and coming off...but the pix weren't showing the progress so I quit taking pix for the last month or so. It's probably time to take another I guess and see because I am looking at your pix and I can see a difference. YOU LOOK GOOD! I think for those of us that were at 300 or so it's just a different kind of progress.

I was wearing snug 24's at my highest (295) and even though I am still working my way through my "fat clothes" sizes 24, 22, 20...I just bought some 18's and even got some workout pants that are 14's (admittedly they are snug) but it's progress....we CAN do this!

we started at about the same place, I was 294. I was wearing 28 bottoms & 26/28 tops. Discouraged that my bottoms aren't coming down too fast, I am in a 24, but my tops have really changed, I am in an 18/20. We all lose differently!

Thanks! I wanted 100 lbs by 4 mo- then I realized- for me- that wasn't gonna happen-- so I strived for 100 by 6 mo-- that's 30 lbs this month.... I don't know if that's possible being that I'm consistent w 10 a month-- we will see!!

I average 10lbs a month. Totally healthy loss and grateful that it's 10 lbs down and not up each month.

I'm currently down 96 and my highest was 315. I also stopped taking pictures because I wasn't noticing a difference. All of. Sudden I had a huge shift in my body. My size has jumped way down. I've been hanging out in 22s and yesterday I went to buy 18s. Imagine my shock when 16s fit. Once you get into those sizes there going to go down even faster. This is the part I wasn't looking forward to. I've spent a lot trying to get clothes that fit. I've officially ran out of my "skinny girl" clothes. ( well only a lot because I finally had to replace my $80 Spanx with a couple new pairs) i

10 a month has been my average now and at 1st I was not happy with it but now I realize it's a healthy loss. Hubby lost his faster and now he is getting his gallbladder out. So 10 lbs a month works just fine for me- I am not interested in having my gallbladder out now, lol.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
