*September Sleevers Check In*

[littlebitsy 72]

Surgery- September 10

HW- 270

DOS- 232

CW- 203

Was really hoping to be under the 200lb mark by New Year's but not really optimistic at this point. I was doing good for a month getting to the gym but my work schedule has prevented it for the past month. I'm hoping once I get past the holiday's I can get back into my groove again. I really want to run a 5K this Spring.

My surgery was Sept 12th. I'm doing pretty well . I'm hoping to make it to 210 by New Years. At 3 months I lost 51% of excess weight & 65 pounds.

Surgery Weight: 278.4

Current Weight: 213

HW 275

SW 250

CW 192 (83 down, 42 or 52 to go!)

I can't say how life-changing and wonderful this surgery has been. I too don't think I'm getting enough variety. But I travel internationally for work and in the 13 weeks since my surgery, I've been on the road 8 of those weeks in India, NZ, China, and Kenya). So just making sure I'm eating "right" and getting my Protein has been enough of a challenge. I never eat raw fruits and vegetables in Asia or Africa, so I'm looking forward to trying some out when I get home for Christmas. Ha! All I want for Christmas is some salad and a hot shower!

Hey everyone,

Just wanted to check in. I had my surgery on 09/25/13 SW 282 today I'm at 236 Total loss 46lbs hoping to make 55lb loss by my 3 month check up on 12/26. Yesterday I just started the C25k running program. Woohoo so excited. Congratulations to everyone who had the surgery, and decided to change your lives.

[Chelsi 107]

[2ndchanceadict 33]

I was sleeved 09.27.2013. Starting weight 410 Current weight 337 73 pounds gone

I was sleeved 9/25/13. Starting weight 292 surgery weight 263 current weight 249. I'm stuck. Admittedly not eating the greatest and have strayed. Even though I can only eat a little at a time, I am finding it hard during the holidays. What are your secrets?

[Jenna1977 7]

Congratulations Everyone: I'm also having a hard time getting Protein in. I take1 bite and am full. Protein drinks I am not able to drink. I know I'm suppose to take in 60 grams a day, but it's so hard, I'm no where near that! I know if you get a good amount though and drink Water it helps with the weight loss, I wonder why that is?. My 3 month appt is next week. I was hoping to be at a 40-45% loss of my excess weight. I lost another 2 lbs this week so I'm hopeful to hit my goal I set for myself. Keep up the good work everyone!

Motivation-I can't wait to get to Onederland

[2ndchanceadict 33]

I use great Protein Shake bits pre-made. Premiere Protein. I get it from BJs but I know costco has it too. I bring to work and just sip for an hour and I get it down. It tastes good too. My boyfriend drinks them as a snack filler. I too and wishing for Onederland. Good luck everyone
