Any February 2014 Sleevers?



Recommended Posts

I suck ???? only 78 lbs down since HW and 58 down since surgery. My Dr just put me on thyroid medicine so I'm hoping that will help. I'm discouraged but I also haven't had much time to work out lately so I'm sure that is some of it.

You don't suck! 78lbs is fantastic! I've only lost 70 but i know I would've still been almost 300lbs last year. At least you know why (so do I) the weight loss has stalled and how to fix it! Good luck and keep at it!

Hello my fellow sleevers I pray all is well with you. Today is one year exactly that I had my sleeve done, and it has been an interesting adventure to say the least . I am down 136 lbs and my shirt measurements went from 4Xl shirts to XL my waist went from 52" to 38". I was declared non diabetic no more meds. I have accomplished a minor milestone and ran my first 3K last Sunday, in 38 minutes. All in all I am blessed and my only regret is that I didn't do it sooner. Don't give up hang in there my Doc says I'll still continue loosing for another 6-8 months. Almost to my goal weight 30 lbs away so I'll have to focus and hit it hard. Reward yourself on small accomplishments and above all continue to love yourself. Welcome to you new life!✌️????

Hello it's been a very long time. I need to get back into thinks. I'm not as focused on my weight loss not being involved here or wearing my pedometer. I've not lost in a while. Hit 100 lbs gone & gained 2 back. Need a good kick in the butt. Anyone in my shoes? Could use a good talk in' to.

I've been on a plateau for amidst a year now, ever since I had my gall bladder removed I have only lost s few more lbs. very frustrating but I know a lot of it has to do with an unfortunate popcorn and chip addiction that I have exiled out of my life a few weeks back. Stupid salty crunchy stuff!!!

So, after a well earned tongue lashing from my nut, and some encouraging words from my doc, I think I'll break the cycle and start losing again.

Just remember that you have lost 100# and that is something to be proud of! It took a lot of hard work and dedication to do that and you are continually improving yourself with every choice you make that leads in the direction you want to go. We are aloud to Detour, let's both find that path again!

Hi ladies! I am there too!! I have gained 4 lbs. so here are some steps I am going to try to take to get back on track.

1. Start excercizing regularly!

2. Stop snacking, and drink more Water or Protein Shakes between meals.

3. Go to a support group monthly.

You know... All the things we all already know! Just gotta get back to basics!

Wish me luck! I know you can do it! Good job on coming this far. Cheers to a healthy life! ????

I guess I will make an appt with the nutritionist. Some time just opened up for me to exercise. I was my dads caregiver and he passed last month. But I'm depressed and don't want to do anything ????

I'm having knee replacement on Dec 11th. Praying I can get back on track with my eating and hopefully be back to exercising.

Haven't even been on here in a while. How is everyone doing? I'm down to the smallest I've been in my adult life but still not to goal. Weighing between 168-174 lbs depending on the day. Down almost 100 lbs total. Developed diverticulosis due to not being regular which is miserable. But overall I am still happy with where I am and I don't believe my journey will end here. Wearing about a size 10 now and can't wait for the true 8. I still keep up my Protein intake like I should, don't exercise much (horrible I know) and indulge myself once in a while. So...how are you all faring???

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
