Hey all.

Here's my summary as to how I am feeling at the moment.

I was sleeved 11/26. its been 13 weeks. Ive been stalled for literally a month. I feel like ripping my hair out as I am currently @ 250 pounds. My surgeon told me my weight loss goal would be to hit 200. So I have 50 pounds to go. I wanted to hit 175.

Others who were sleeved around the same date as me have posted that they've lost upwards of 60+ pounds already. i know everyone loses differently and all that jazz, but it still bothers me to be stalled.

I took pictures back in June while I was still in the process of becoming sleeved. I had forgotten about them, and I am SO GLAD that I took them.

In June in these pics, I was at 307. on my surgery day, I weighed 302.5 so I know these pictures, though 5 months before, are still pretty accurate as far as how I looked.

Right this very second, I weigh 247. Thank god that the scale looks like its moving

In 13 weeks, I have lost 55 pounds. I am not one of those amazing losers,I eat on average between 600-800 calories a day. I hit at least 50 grams of Protein a day which is low, and my Water intake is not that great either. I have lost an average of 4 pounds a week. Which is fine with me, hopefully it gives my skin enough time to make a come back.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE:

take pics pre-op. full body. all sides, naked or with a tight top on.

I have been depressed about my weight until I saw these pics. and looking through, I don't even recognize that girl anymore. and sadly enough, I never thought I was that big...

Stay positive, and Enjoy!
