Hi there May sleevers 2013! I was sleeved on the 11th of May and I have lost 25 pounds in basically 2 weeks! excited but worried...is it too much too fast? how are you guys doing?

HW 278 (size 18)

SW 263

CW varies between 222 and 217 - in ANOTHER stall

I feel like such a slow loser!! My body has changed, but nothing really drastic! My pants are baggy, but I am still wearing a size 16 and can barely squeeze into a 14! When I read how well everyone else is doing and see these dramatic pictures where some of yall look completely different (although I am very happy for each one of you) I get so depressed. I have seen people that I have not seen in several months and no one notices a difference. Not sure what I am doing wrong. I feel like I am destined to be fat forever.

MystiGal - You are NOT destined to be fat forever! You have a taken a huge step toward your health and your sleeve is doing its work. I am fairly slow at losing too, but I know it will come for both of us. Don't lose faith, friend!

4 months down 64 total size 18/20 to a 10.

Miss Lady - you look fantastic! This is such an encouragement for the slower loses like me!

I was sleeved on 5/15

SW 242

Current weight 198

I feel like I am losing slow as well. It is discouraging. But one thing about the slow weight loss is no baggy skin

Have dr's apt next week, gonna ask him if I am on track or not, so I can stop worrying

Miss Lady - you look fantastic! This is such an encouragement for the slower loses like me!

TY. Just keep doing it. A steady loss is better than a fast gain any day. You will get there.

The difference in photo 52 lb since 5 May till now

Julie G T - Look at you! You are beautiful in both pix but you look so much younger in the newer one. At my age' date=' that is a huge compliment! Congratulations![/quote']

Thank you

I understand how you feel...my experience has been similar, as you can see on my ticker...I am also in a stall at 217...I had very much hoped to be in Onederland by my 6-month surgiversary...I am one month away and don't think there is any chance I will lose 17 lbs in a month...but I am focusing on the positives--one being that I have lost 50 lbs and the other that my blood glucose levels have been much lower, and I am almost completely off my diabetes meds

hang in there and don't get too discouraged!

I was sleeved May 20th..... Down 57lbs since surgery! Started my journey a size 22/24 but now happily wearing a size 14! Only about 43 lbs till my end goal and it feels amazing

Updated picture of my sister, my sister in law and me. May 9th (day before surgery) and today. I think we look pretty darn good! So happy that we went through this together!

You all look great. So nice you've had close support since day 1 who know what you're going through!
