feb 2013 sleevers weigh in



Recommended Posts

Sleeved 2/12/13..down 56 pounds..been in a bit of weird stall the last three weeks..I bounce up and down the same two pounds. But the clothes I bought a month ago are too big now so there is that.

I am also changing my diet up to incorporate more calories as well as fruits and vegetables too.

Same here Maharet. Down 55 lbs and started juicing a few days a week to get in whole food nutrients.

I am having your same experience as I write this. I have done the two step in a two-pound range for about two weeks now. I was told that I would have to increase my activity and increase my Protein. I'm amazed at those who get in 80 and 90 grams of Protein daily. i don't know how they do it. Of course, it is more difficult for me since I don't care for meat that much. I think these stalls are a good time to take out pictures of ourselves and see the progress we have made. If you are like I am, I still feel like a fatty because I'm only halfway to my goal. Doing more of what we know we are supposed to do is really our only option. I'm hanging in there too. Frustrating!

I'm down more than 50 lbs since surgery and more than 70 lbs total (including the six-month pre-op diet)! Surgery on 2/5/13. I am doing the 5:2 Mosley fast and it's really getting the scale moving again. I feel good on it, too.

I can't get my scale to move, I think it's time to try liquids for a few days to get everything moving again. I hit 100lb loss (21 from pre op) and now I'm at 99. It's been a couple weeks. I'm really hoping to get 16 off by November.

I wanted to update. Sleeved 2-4-13 and the scale is moving again. It's defiantly slower than it was before but I'm happy it's moving. In pretty sure the honeymoon is over :(

It took about 20 days for it to budge.

I haven't logged in in over 4 weeks because I stopped losing weight and I stopped weighing myself since I reached my 130lb goal 6 weeks ago. I created a new goal of 120. I am now 125. Losing weight very slowly but I am trying to add more workouts. I love it when people don't even recognize me. I feel like I have a new lease on life.

      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!!
