Hello all! If interested, I started us a June 2013 Sleevers group so that we can all go through this process together! Hope you will all join and let's lift each other up.

Thanks,

Ok! Am I on the right track? Started at 203 and down to 140. I have been stalled for about three weeks. I try to eat between 800 and 1200 calories a day. I am not complaining. Extremely happy with my progress. Just curious if anyone started around my weight. I'm short, 5'1. Started with a 20 pant size. Down to an 8. My goal is 126.

June 15th

Wow....finally found yall again....glad to be back home...:-)

I finally dropped 2 pounds! Down to 138!! I did protein shakes for two days and it got the stall moving!

Sounds about right! Was 203 your surgery weight or your high weight? I started at 212 in April and was at 188 when I was sleeved on June 26. I am down to 139 and I am 5'0. I am down to a size 10, so it sounds like you are doing great!

6 month check up today! Down to 188 pounds size 10 jeans! February I was 271, 6 months ago I was 254 and now I'm 188.

Congratulations!!

I am exactly in the same boat with you, same exact stats but sadly, I do not ever think I will be in a size 10 jean! I guess my body shape is such that I am still in size 16 pants. Don't know where I have lost all the additional weight but I wish it would come off of my stomach or behind instead of my face! Still very happy for you and me!

What I learned at my appointment on Friday is that I'm above average with losing 60% of my excess body fat, my BMI went from a 42 to 30.7 and I have lost 80 pounds. I just hope I can keep up the great work and lose 100% of my excess body fat!

Since surgery (6/17/13) I went from a 45 to a 29 BMI and I'm down 98lbs, but since I started this whole process last June (6/22/12) I have gone from a 50 to a 29! It is definitely amazing and feels wonderful! Keep up the great work!!!

I had my 6 month 5 December. All went great. I am down 98 lbs since June 5 as of last Thursday. My biggest dilemma is how everybody wants to talk about what I eat

Just checking in! Sleeved June 19 down 60 pounds from day of surgery but down 87 since 1/1/13 which was when I started meeting with my surgeon. Today was a day of a couple nice NSVs. I went shopping with some Christmas money and bought a couple pairs of size 14 jeans from NY and Co, so that made me feel good. Then went shoe shopping and discovered my foot has shrank to a size 10 from a size 11 (still huge feet but I'm 5'10"). For tops I'm still in an XL because I'm still pretty busty but that's ok. I'm still 35-45 pounds from goal so we will see. It just felt so awesome to go into a regular store and buy regular sizes and have stuff look good. That certainly hasn't been my experience in the past.

Wow....finally found yall again....glad to be back home...:-)

Update....doing ok...at 218 ...surgery weigh 301 and highest weight 349....did eat a "little" of this and that during the holidays but back on track...

It's been a while, but I love to read all of your successes! So, I'll share mine: I'm down 82 pounds from my highest weight, 65 from my surgery weight on June 18th. Today I went shopping for a dress and I bought a size 8!!!

Congrats everyone!!!

Hello....since everyone is updating, I will too. Feeling great, more active than I have been in 20 years, just got off scale and have lost 86lbs since surgery on June 24th, fitting into size 14 jeans and XL shirts....most importantly at my 6 month checkup, my Vitamin levels, Iron levels and overall "health" related stuff came back wonderful. My BMI is down to 33 from a high of 52. I can finally see the difference in how I look too...mostly in pictures, not in the mirror yet. If have no doubts anymore that I will get to goal and will stay there...still HARD work but I am confident....that is saying a mouthful...confident !!! Glad to hear all my fellow June sleevers are doing well and can't wait to see where we are at our surgiversary.

Guess I should update myself as well. I have lost 82 pounds since surgery which was June 7th. I was wearing a 22/24 and now I am a 14 and L or XL in the tops. I am very happy with how things have turned out and looking forward to reaching my goal. I have noticed that the weight loss has slowed down a little but hasn't stopped. I am positive that I will reach my goal. Anyone else notice a slow down with the weight loss?

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!!!
