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

How many lbs are you loosing a week ? Having a few hard weeks ... Same weight week 3 ...

1.8-2 is what I average. I tend to lose nothing for weeks and then lose 3-5 lbs all at once.

Woman me too! Exactly the same here. Kinda bound around a few pounds for a few weeks then lose 2-4 pounds then starts all over again Good to know I'm not alone.

Good thank you for the reply ! So atleast I know it's not just me

No it's not. The closer we get to goal the harder it will be for the weight to come off. I also learned at my local support group that months 6-7 we plateau or have a stall. Hang in there!

Hit that 5 1/2 month mark and wait loss went from 10-12 lbs a month down to 5ish, 10.4 lbs to goal, 1.4lbs until "normal" BMI...hoping for goal by June ;o)

Yup! Mine went to 5-6 no worries we will get there!

Congrats! You are doing awesome

Got on the scale today and 147 . 1 pound to go until 100 pounds gone. I am feeling hip, ribs,elbow bones that have been gone for so long I forgot what they felt like. I would like to ask what does one do to celebrate 100 pounds gone?

My go to is a new tattoo, lol!

I would definitely DO something though, what an awesome accomplishment!!!

LOL I am worried the tattoo might weigh too much and I hate needles. I just ate 735 cals,and 70 gms of protein, and carried on as usual. Thank you for the idea though.

Weigh too much? Lol!

Guess what? I HATE needles (injection, blood draw, IV) but tattooing is different, it is beauty. BUT I do understand they aren't everybody's cup of tea!

Have you figured out anything else (other than the meal)?

Sky diving? Dance classes? New jewelry?

;o) a really important milestone deserves a significant celebration, IMHO...

We have similar stats... my surgery 8/8/13.. HW 225 SW 213 CURRENT 145-148 Height 5'2

I couldn't be happier. . I think my body has settle and stopped losing at this point or maybe the weight loss has slowed down that I don't see a difference in the numbers for like 2 months but I'm not discontent I am actually happy at my current weight.. do you still want to lose more?

Same here, things are starting to slow down. I've lost 82lbs since surgery 8/26/13 but 103lbs total and down 55.5in. HW 291 SW 270 CW 188 and I'm 5'5. I try to stick to a healthy balanced diet about 5-6oz per meal and usually 2 snacks per day. I average about 1000-1200 cals/day. I workout 4-5 days/wk usually high intensity (running, insanity, bootcamp). Although I do have cheat meals and have encountered the occasional binge, I'm still learning and a work in progress. My next goal weight is 175 and then I'll re-evaluate to see where to go next. I think I'll end up around 160-165 and I would be totally happy with that! Looking into plastics, hopefully in December I can get my first surgery (breast lift & aug and arm lift) and 6wks later go back for an extended tummy tuck.
