I notice that must sleeves are in the high 200's but is there anyone who started higher. My weight day off was 362 give or take a pound....my doctor told me the most common procedure for my weight was the bypass but the long term results are very much the same. Im 5'7" but I definitely strated off way bigger than some posts I see...just curious to know I'd I'm alone lol

That's amazing! Congratulations. I'm praying/hoping that I can be that successful my first few months. I'm 2 weeks preop to date.

Sleeved 2/25/13

HW:319

Now: 171

Im 338 and my surgery date is june 18th im wanting to lose 200

My starting weight was 448lbs. I was not required to lose any weight pre-op as I see many folks talking about. I am two years post-op and my current weight is 314lbs. My goal weight is 248lbs. Just as you have said I also see many people starting at my goal weight. Possibly when I reach my goal I will make a new goal.

Good luck sweetie.

I was sleeved Sept 27, 2013.

Pre op weight 410

Surgery weight 385

Current weight 295

Hit a major stall these last 6 or 8 weeks.

But not giving up!!

Yes I have hit a stall too. But you have to re-evaluate what you are doing. I come to the forums for motivation because living every day life can throw you off track. I know what I can be doing differently. I'm trying to be honest with myself. We can break this stall!

349 hw...301 sw....cw 202 and in a stall for 2 months now...will make my year on June 18th and wanted to be under 200 but it is what it is...I'm happy with all my hard work and the many mini goals I did complete...

Our starting stats are nearly identical. I'm just 3 months out. I've lost 71 (28 of that preop) and a little overwhelmed with how far I have to go (although pleased with my progress). THANK YOU for sharing! I have to remember it's a marathon, not a sprint. Any advice on how you kept it coming off once it slowed down (assuming it slowed)? Did you have to decrease calories, do 5:2, increase exercise?

I was sleeved yesterday... little nausea sharp gas pain....sinuses are draining and it hurts to cough. I am very thirsty and tired..."remember" sip sip sip

4 months out today !

Starting to slow down already only lost 1lb in the last 2 weeks need to adjust my eating and maybe do some more shake only meals again

Here are my current and preop pics

I am a lil over 16 months post-sleeve

Left was pre at 319 Right 3 are current-within the past month at about 170ish-- finally hit 166.4 today!

I started at 347. Lost 62 since my surgery in January! Lost 107 pounds total as of this morning! Best thing I've ever did for myself!!! Go for it!!!

My advice. .. don't do 5:2 or similar as part of weight loss phase. When my losses slowed down around 8 months post op I started reducing carbs, eliminating protein bars and then changed workouts to high intensity interval training. My losses went from 2 a month back to 10.
