August sleevers progress

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 :)

Wow you look amazing!!! Wow!!!!

Thanks, cloud! You sound like you're doing pretty darn well yourself! I almost picked up the Jay Robb protein yesterday but got cold feet haha. How is the taste compared to whey?

It tastes really good (to me). I got the vanilla flavor.

Less froth as compared to the whey isolate powder. I can finally drink shakes again thanks to that stuff!

Jay Robb has a 100% money back guarantee. So if you don't like it they will take it back. If you try it let me know what you think!

Happy Sleevuary!

I started at 315 and now weigh 268. Most of it was lost in the first 8 weeks. I've only lost 3 pounds since Nov. I'm feeling very discouraged.

Wow Hannah that is 47 pounds gone! Congratulations! :)

Butterthebean has a link in his auto signature to an excellent article about stalls:

Wooo hoooo Go Lissette! Would you mind sharing with me about your workouts? What are you doing and how do you feel when doing them? Im walking (on treadmill due to frigid weather) and some yoga but not real aggressive workout. Makes me lightheaded still even though I take in a lot of water and eat the right things. Congratulations on your success!!!!!

-sure!

Currently I'm swimming 3 times a weeks for 30-35 min . And biking for 15-20 at high intensity. Still very hard though. My weight loss has slowed down to about 2 lbs a week with continuous exercise . And I'm very happy with my sleeve:) my body is tightening up a bit and I'm trying not I have excess skin so my workouts are targeting whole body and stomach area. Hopefully this helps you - so far so good .

Way to go everyone!! I'm so happy I had my sleeve done!

SURGERY DATE 8/8/13

I've lost a total of 69lbs and still loosing :) My goal is to be at 145lbs and I will be happy and think that's a healthy weight for my height 5'2. I know my doc says 125 but I really don't want to look like a tooth pick and or look sick I want to be and look healthy.

Nice Job! Our Goals are similar, and surgery was just 2 days apart.....I'm not quite 5'2, and my dr's goal is 127....I've lost 80 so far.....wieght loss stalled from December to mid January.....but I went down 2 sizes during that time....have gotten back on schedule and losing again.

I used to weigh 110-112 in my teens/early 20's, so I'm not sure how I feel about 127 as a goal.....but compared to where I was, I'm feeling damn good---

Hey congrats 80 lbs it's a big deal! I would never change my decision of doing this it ha been by far the Best decision I have ever made and I'm pretty sure u feel the same. What is your goal? Do u want to hit the weight when u were a teen ir your surgeons goals?? U see I was never that thin I was always a thick girl the smallest I've been was 145 but I thought and still think I looked pretty healthy and good.. The doctor always told me I had heavy bones but I'm not sure how true that is lol

So....we are all approaching the 6 month mark! Although it seems our weight loss has slowed, we have all been doing great. How has your sleeve changed your life? What are you doing to keep the weight loss going? How many sizes/pounds have you lost? What is your exercise regimen? I know I slipped into some old routines over the holidays, but am back on track and working out more than ever. I signed up for a 5K in April and am hitting the gym pretty hard for training. That is something I NEVER would have dreamed of 6 months ago. My surgery was just over 5 months ago and I still keep asking myself why I didn't do it sooner. I am looking forward to hearing the 6 month success stories!
