Recommended Posts

I'm 5'8 and I wear a ladies 10 and juniors 13 bottom. Tops S/M.

Thanks. I'm 5'7" and 173. Still wearing a 16 on bottom but I've lost my boobs. Guess I just have a big ole butt :). I haven't been in a junior size since college.

Don't think I have been in juniors since the early 80s. Sadly my boobs and butt have gone south. But I will take it.

hi Tigerbelle! Glad to hear you are well. On hair loss: yes, I began losing drastically last month. While being thinner is a boost, my scalp showing is a bummer and makes me look and feel older. Certainly worth it, but still disheartening. My friend recommended "Toppik Hair Fibers" available at Sally Beauty online and in store. I haven't yet tried it but am def going to. It is pricey but really works according to my friend and her hair stylist. If you try it, please let me know your thoughts.

Wanted to let all my May sleevers who are losing hair know that 'Toppik' hair fibers really do make a difference in the appearance of thin hair. Also using Follicure Shampoo and conditioner. All available at Sally Beauty and Amazon. So glad to have a product that masks the thinning of my hair. Had to share!

I just realized that today is my 6-month surgiversary...I am sort of neutral right now--not displeased but not truly pleased either...my surgery weight was 268....this morning the scale read 212, so that means a 56 pound weight loss...I have been a slow loser and don't exercise the way I had planned (very low energy), so I am not displeased with the weight loss so far in total--as some other May sleevers recently posted, though, most of my weight loss was in the first 3 months...these last two months have been extremely slow in weight loss, making me fear that this is just about it for me...I still have a lot of weight to lose to reach my goal or close to it (I set one year out as my time frame)...if I thought I would lose another 56 pounds over the next 6 months, I would be hopeful...I would be at about 155 lbs at May 9, 2014--perhaps I can do it if I an gather the energy to begin a consistent work-out routine, which is definitely my goal between now and the beginning of 2014...wish me well, fellow May sleever friends :)

Hello May Sleevers... ;) I was sleeved on May 13, 2013. I have lost 60 lbs. I have been reading posts on here for months but this is my first post. About 3 weeks ago I hit my first stall. I was steadily losing every week - even a little bit until 3 weeks ago. Now I go back and forth within 2 lbs. I have read that several people experience stalls and I was wondering if any of my fellow May sleevers have any suggestions on how to beat the stall. I have not changed my eating...I do not track my Protein but try to eat all Protein first before I eat anything else. I just kicked up my exercise and try to exercise at least 30 minutes 4 times a week. Any other suggestions? :)

I've lost 69 lbs so far and just came off a 2 month stall. What helped was exercise and making sure I don't graze. It's too easy to snack and take in too many calories. I went on vacation and spent about 8 hours walking one day and 3 hours the next. The next week I dropped 5 lbs. So now I try to get in at least an hour a day of walking or biking as well as doing strength exercises 3 days a week. I hope not to stall like that again.

My surgery was 5/28. As of today, I am down 89lbs from SW of 293 to CW of 204 and am off all my meds.

Had a very slow progression for exercise as have had a lot of dizziness from low blood pressure but have steadily lost weight by pretty much sticking to the diet. Know that need to get the strength training going over the winter.

Doc has never given me a goal weight but would love to get to a BMI of 25 which would be 175lbs for me.

      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!!
