Sleeved 2/20/13 I'm down 48.2 pounds since surgery day

That's pretty awesome!! I wish I had that number. I was sleeved on 2/19/13 and am down 21lbs since surgery 38lbs over all. Would like it to be higher but at least I'm still losing.

You are still doing great. I finally hit my stall where I haven't lost a pound in a week. It saddens me.

I'm in the same boat as you. I will be six weeks post-op tomorrow, and have lost 25 lbs,.. 35 lbs total. You may think it's slow, but what diet allows us to lose 4 lbs a week steadily?! Hang in there. Mix in some exercise when you can...which is my plan.

I believe the bigger you are, the more weight comes off in the beginning. I started out

79 lbs heavier than you. You're doing great!

Sleeved 02/04 down 55 lbs as of Easter Sunday.

That is inspiring!! Holy cow, we have similar stats/ SW 265 CW 241 5"7 SD 2-27 and you are def passing me up. Whats your secret?

I was a little discouraged, the fancy schmancy new scale I bought, says I weigh more than both my Drs office scales! So I am back to the old faithful scale in the downstairs bathroom. It has the same numbers as DR office and I am feeling a little more encouraged after finding that I weigh less ( hey plus or minus 4 or 5 pounds at this point makes a BIG difference) I I feel like I have had had a stall at 2 weeks, 3 weeks, and now I am entering my 6th and my weight loss is starting to drop more like a drip from a leaky faucet. I get up and weigh myself every morning with the anticipation of a 6 year old looking for their Easter basket on Easter morning..lol..I wish I could restrain myself and weigh just weekly or ideally once a month. I heard another poster say that he weighed just once a month and never had a stall..clever.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
