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

Super quick question for my fellow sleevers..........For breakfast I ate an entire container of yogurt (I was doing a bad thing, eating at my desk while I was working, so it was probably over a 20 minute period).......it seems like a lot at one setting (5 oz)........is that anyone's normal now, or is that a lot? I didn't feel full nor feel the restriction (I'm loving my sleeve....but miss the 2 or 3 month mark where you could only eat a bite or two LOL)

I had a little freak out this morning when I got on the scales, and it looked like I had gained 10 pounds........then I put my glasses on and everything is good except my eyesight LOL .....PHEW!

I eat a full container of yogurt with granola added in and have been for several months. Dr says it's fine. It's because it's a liquid like food and goes straight through the stomach.

Me too! I have no problem eating a whole container of yogurt. I get full very fast with dense protein though. I can only eat around 2-3 oz the most.

I usually eat a 6oz container 80 cal dannon Greek- with granola . Pretty full after that for a couple of hours

I to had my surgery on 8/21/13 I'm eating 900 to 1000 calories a day. Some days I will just go over some days I just care lol

How many calories is everyone eating. I had my surgery on 8/21/13. I am not sure if I'm eating to many calories.

Surgery was August 8th ,2013

CW HOLY CRAP I'm 157 lbs..

I havent been this weight since I was a teenager.

On a side note..

Everyones telling me 'Dont lose anymore weight you look perfect as you are"

BUT according to the stupid BMI I have to lose another 22lbs JUST to be at my absolute highest healthy weight. I find that a bit absurd.

I feel great at my current weight but figure I can lose 10-20 more lbs so I have a few lbs of wiggle room if I ever want another child..

How has everyone responded to YOUR weight loss??

Oh yes the "you have lost enough weight" friends, I think they are trying to complement us, but it comes off as if they know what would be a healthy weight for our bodies. Only we know what weight we feel good at.

I was sleeved 8/21/13, have lost 88 pounds and currently weigh 158. I would like to loose another 10-20 pounds too, but being in my 60's, I think maybe I need a little more padding just in case, if I should fall. But wow does it feel good to wear size 10 petite pants.

Ya, "you need to stop now", "HOW much more are you wanting to lose?", "you ARE still working with your surgeon?" I still have 4lbs until my highest healthy, and 13 until my goal, to give me a cushion/wiggle room. Dr. appraisingly looked at me, 2lbs ago, and stated I could be done (I think he lost his mind).

I'm 5'4", CW 149lbs, pre-op 236, SW 219.8 and a 38 year old mother of 4.

I had a great week lost 2 more pounds now down 95 pounds. I feel like a feather at 151. Just cleaned out my closet. 4 bags of big clothes to folks who need them. Woohoo. 100 pounds I am chasing you down. I don't know about anyone else but I stick to 700-1000 cals a day. My diet is very low carb except in veggies and fruit, and not really any oil except found in nuts and low fat cheese. I am listening to my sleeve more now than before. Still get full with more protein, and veggies than fruit and nuts.

I am closing in on the 100# mark as well, but still have a ways to go...currently at 221. The weight loss has REALLY slowed down, but it is still happening. I have been pretty sick with a fever for the last week and have no appetite at all. It just feels like I can't fit anything in that sleeve. Not sure if this is normal. I can barely get in a little protein and a string cheese, but that is better than junk.

I am loving the sleeve and still kicking myself for not doing it 10 years ago when I first looked into it! I am glad I came to my senses. Hope everyone else is enjoying the journey!
