May sleevers results so far!



Recommended Posts

Thanks to all the slow losers posting. I welcomed the encouragement. Feels good to know we're not alone.

I do however encourage all the slow losers to keep posting so we can band together or maybe even start a new thread to keep encouraging each other! It's great that everyone's losing and I hope everyone keeps their chins up.

To infinity and beyond!

I was sleeved on may 20. Down 36 lbs. I too get discouraged when I see people posting that they are down over 50 lbs.... But I agree that I haven't been 182 in YEARS!! I hope the road ahead continues to go down for all of us!!!

Well done on losing 36lbs great job! I've just managed to crawl to 40 lost lol! We may be tilting our sleeve rather than rocking it but it's great to lose weight no matter how and lets face it it's still a lot faster than we could have done without surgery ! GO SLOW LOSERS!!

I was sleeved on May 8th.

HW: 237

SW: 229

CW: 182 (4 months out) Down 55 lbs from HW & 47 lbs down from SW. I'm also so excited to be so close to 170 lbs which is the weight listed on my Drivers license. O_O I look forward to the day that I can say I weigh less than what my license states. :))

GW: 130 (52 lbs away) :))

I workout 6 days a week. I have a Protein shake in the morning almost daily and I also drink my 64 oz of Water daily. I go on runs 3-4 times a week. I go to the gym the days I don't go for runs. I do feel like I am losing a little slower than others but I'll take any weight loss. I have stalled before but I try not to let it get to me. I just keep pushing harder. Remember it's always better to be a "slow" loser. It'll give you time to work on toning your body. Keep up the great work May Sleeevers!! Remember we have come a long way.

In down 60 pounds since May 20 th, but I got a strep virus in my lungs and had double pneumonia followed by a fractured rib. I was in ICU for 3 days and in the hospital for 8. I didn't eat much for a month because it hurt too much to swallow. So I would take slow weight loss over the pneumonia any day! The good news is I'm feeling much better now, except that fractured ribs likes to bug me when I am working out.

I feel the same way. It sometimes gets very discouraging to read all of the really awesome results others have had...though I am SO happy for them all. :) I was sleeved on May 22, and I am down 35 pounds. Not a lot, but I know it's way more than I could have done on my own. I'm currently in the midst of a stall, but I'm hopeful that it will end soon and I will see the scale going down once again.

When I went and saw my BS for my 3 month, he said you are doing way better than most people! You've lost 50lbs, that's incredible, you are eating well, exercising and look great, I can't ask for anything more. I asked him why I was losing so much slower than people on the threads, he said with some people they either have more to lose, so lose it faster, or didn't have good eating habits before. He said you didn't eat bad, you just ate too much. It made me feel better, and made me remember that we are all different and I shouldn't get so discouraged. Just thought I'd share.

I saw my BS yesterday and they pretty much told me the same thing too. I still suffer from "fat brain" and they were trying to convince me that I will keep losing weight and I'm going well. They even wanted to print out my weight loss graph to keep me happy by looking at the downward trend! I told them I think I need another op. they said why. I said because I need brain surgery to remove my fat brain! They laughed. Hang on this is serious!

Funny about the fat brain. I get it though. I have medium long hair and alway wear it down. I was at the gym Tuesday and put it in a ponytail and for some reason I stopped at the mirror and when I looked at myself for a second I didn't recognize myself. It was freaked out. People tell me I look different but I never really believe them, but now I do.

It was a good moment. But a as you probably know the moments go back and forth. Today I was sulking about how big my stomach still is. It's hard to not always focus on the things wrong with my body, but I am getting better.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
