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

Sleeved 8/28

Start of the program I was 231

Pre-op I was 221.

This morning I was 200! WooHoo!. So I'm averaging about 3 lbs per week

Next week this time I should break the 200 mark.

Also My BMI is 39 which means I am no longer Morbidly Obese. I'll take it., That's a victory in my book.

Doing better with foods. Some days are better than others. Fluids is my challenge. If I can get 40oz , I'm having a good day

I'm having trouble with liquids also. Somewhere on here a gal actually wrote her Water or "liquid" schedule down....she had it to an art. My problem is remembering to drink at the appropriate times. Then suddenly its time to eat and I have to wait again....only to forget again! Silly but important because we don't want to become dehydrated..

Btw... my surgery was 8/21

So... 2 months since surgery

Surgery weight 296

Weight today 253

Total loss to date 43 pounds gone forever!

I downloaded this app called Waterlogged. Has helped me tremendously keep track of my water intake. I'm a freak and ridiculously competitive (with myself) that it forces me to hit my 100% goal everyday LOL. Good luck!

Ok so those are my before surgery early in the year, (feb) then the 3 pic is before surgery 1 month out then 2 months out and the last pic is my 1 month vs 2 and 1/2 months out.. I'm actually pretty shocked that my 2 month and 2 and 1/2 months out pics look so different.. In general it's crazy to see such change! But exciting too!!

Started at 292 in February this year started seeing the nutritionist in late feb. did all the requirements for Aetna and had surgery 8/12/13. Day of surgery weight was 264 and today I weigh 237.5 ( those half pounds count!)

Inches melt away faster than lbs! I'm really happy with my results so far and looking forward to continued success
