June 2013 Sleevers GROUP

[Corky6984 134]

I had surgery 6/17 and I am down 102 lbs and am now in a 11/12 from a 24 pants size and am in M shirts from XXXL! Never thought that would happen! My weight loss is slowing some, but I am also still losing. I am contributing mine to this special project that has been going on at work. Have only been able to do gym once a week vs my normal 3 times due to pulling 12-15 hour shifts. It will be over soon and I will be getting back to my 3 days, but I am not complaining at all! Only thing is that now, I guess I had a bony butt, but never knew until now and I feel my butt bone. LMAO!!! Keep up the great work everyone!!!

I guess I will update too. I am down 76 total and 52 since surgery on 6/26. I am down to a size 10 pant size and medium shirt (started in a 18 and XXL). Feeling really good and noticing I am getting a lot of self confidence back. My weight loss has slowed down dramatically, but I was told that the last 20 lbs are the the hardest. I am 8 lbs away from being in a normal bmi range but would like to lose 10-15 more for my personal goal. Glad everyone is doing so well!

Thanks! I have no idea. I have just done all that I should have. Protein shakes, Vitamins, Water, going to gym, etc. I sometimes still can't wrap my head around the fact that I have lost that much! It is a great feeling, though!

Wow that's amazing. Any suggestions for the rest of us?

Just do what you should be doing. Get your Protein in, drink your Water, go to the gym (or do whatever exercises). I did the C25K app and finished the 8 weeks today. Like I said, due to the special project at work and working 12-15 hour shifts, I can only go to gym on weekend, so it took me a little over the 8 weeks to do it, but I stuck to it. If you can't run all of it, walk some, then run some. Pace yourself and do what you can and know it is okay to repeat some of the days until you think you can do more. I love the app and it is free!

I was sleeved 6/25. My starting weight was 247 and 5'11 , day of the surgery it was 211 and I am now 150. I feel happy

[kae21879 50]

Surgery date was 6/25, starting weight was 282. I am currently 172. I am lighter then my hubby for once. He has always been the trim one so i am loving it. We are same height and frame size. I am hoping to reach 135-140, with a little luck. I have been fighting plateaus more then before this month though. I am working out on my lunch bark when ever possible. Hopefully that will jump start me. Plus I am hopefully rebuilding the muscle mass I lost from this. How are my other fellow June sleevers doing?

[onsummit 117]

Was 284 at the beginning of June. Today 183 so 100 pounds at 36 weeks. Have donated a closetful of 3X clothes and am finding size 14 getting too large but not ready for a 12. Can see the difference in myself finally but feel exactly the same. All belly and hips

Hello my fellow June 2013 Sleevers! I'm so happy to see so much success on this thread...isn't absolutely amazing?! I started my journey with the sleeve at 249 pounds, size 18/20, XXL tops. Today I am 157 pounds, size 8/10, small/medium tops. 20 pounds were dropped pre-op, 70 post-op and I am 12 pounds away from my goal weight if 145. Weight loss has slowed to about 3-4 pounds a month...this month might be less (however, I attribute that to less gym time due to my hectic schedule this past month), but I am not complaining. The sleeve has changed my life and I feel lighter (both physically and spiritually), happier, and just enjoy life with a greater quality. Did I mention how great it is to cross my legs at the thighs without a second thought, or bend over to tie my shoe, run, jump, climb stairs, go shopping and EVERYTHING fits??? Ha! Loving my sleeved life! Congrats fellow June Sleevers!!!!!!

That's great congrats on your success! Feels awesome!

Hi everybody! I was sleeved June 19th and its been an awesome journey. My highest weight was 298 size 22. Day of surgery 270. Today I'm 198, and wearing size 14. My loss has slowed but that's ok. I track everything on My Fitness Pal and walk regularly. Sometimes I get bored with the food I eat but my sleeve keeps me on track. It's been a major motivation.

Congrats to everyone on their success and keep going!
