Hi I wanted to post this so the August ppl can log our success and weight lost so far..

My Surgery date 8/8/2013

highest weight was 220, surgery weight 213, current weight 195

All in all I've lost a total of 25 pounds and so happy I lost 7 pounds on my two week preop than the rest the first week post op.. I was stuck at 196-200 until yesterday and now I have lost another pound and that makes me happy to know that the scale started moving back the right direction again!!

I would live to hear from other August sleevers

Hi there! I do exercise about 5 days a week. I was pretty lucky and got cleared for exercise after 1 week. I also try to vary my calories from day to day (600 on Monday' date=' 750 on Tuesday, 850 on Wednesday, 675 on Thursday, etc.). Not sure if that is helping, but I have convinced myself it is haha![/quote']

Hi! Yes I workout all week... I eat around 600-700 calories a day but I burn between 450-550 calories also... Maybe I should try more calories on other days like you do... Have u hit any stalls?

I go from losing 1-2 pounds then stop for a week or so to even gaining a pound sometimes... Not sure if my body is just adjusting hmmmm...

I had surgery August 2nd. Counting pre-op, I've lost 34 lbs in 12 weeks. That's with a 12 day stall once, and currently have been stuck for 11 days today with no signs of a let up. I have to remind myself that even if I stall, at least I'm not putting ON weight like the old days.

My 3 week stall has been broken !!! Thank goodness !!! Surgery date 8/20

Thanks ! Feeling a little better - I'm also averaging 2lbs a week !

^{My average is about 1.8 a week so far with one stall at 3 weeks out. surg was 8/5 I am down to 233 as of this morning. Starting weight 265, I am just excited to be wearing things I haven't in years!! Shopping in my own closet! I am losing in weird places but I am not complaining, seems that my spare tire is holding on for dear life!!! and my legs have become skinny!}

I think that's a great rate especially while working out hopefully it helps with skin sagging!! I think you're doing great!! Keep up the good work!!

I haven't been taking a ppi anymore' date=' my hunger isn't an actual stomach pain its more boredom, but I have been considering going back on the ppi[/quote']

Proton Pump Inhibitor or a fancy name for things like Prevacid, Zegrid, Prilosec, Omaprazole, etc.

I have lost 13 kg since surgery, August 7th. That's about 29 lbs. I have had no stalls, just regular 1 - 2 kg per week losses. Walk the dog every day and go for a bike ride a couple of times a week - mainly to have my half a cup of cappuccino with the "normal" people! Have not yet managed to eat 600 cals in one day, still trying though. Usually get around 40 g of protein a day though. I spend a lot of my day feeling nauseous or just plain ghastly so although I like the consistent weight loss, I am not yet "loving" my sleeve.

Hey all.. Great work by all so far.. I had a surgery date of August 28.. My weight before the pre op diet was 222, surgery day I was down to 215, and now I am at 180.

Don't get me wrong I am SUPER happy with the weight that is gone.. I am just starting to get discouraged because the scale hasn't moved in like two weeks! I don't weight everyday.. I know that will drive me crazy.. I way twice a week! So that makes it more discouraging for me.. I guess I'm just in need of some encouragement and some good jue jue to get me out of this darn stall.

Just so you can see how well you are doing. I was 222 on DOS which was Aug 2nd for me so I'm almost 3.5 weeks ahead of you. And I'm only down to 195 today. I have followed all the rules, never cheated once and try to stay active Despite that I've had two stalls, once for 12 days and once for 11 days. So you're doing extremely well. Give your body time to catch up.
