Current weight 252 obviously I have more weight to lose. Anyone want to start a private group that will check in daily and not be embarrased to share their struggles and the journey to get below 200?

I started at 255 and am down to 229. I lost some of it during the pre op and the rest in the 3 1/2 weeks after surg. YAY

Well unbesleevable looks like its just u and me.

Since 2 week pre op I weighed 229. That was 6 weeks ago today I am at 207.

Hi, I would like to have ppl to talk,

Did you start the group?

I started at 263 and now 1 wk out an at 245. Looking forward to being under 200.

Nope didn't start the group didn't look. Like there was much interest. I will join if someone starts it. I am 255 with a long way to go and struggling right now. Could use some consistent chats with folks in the same situation

How are u doing with the holidays? I am not. Doing well. Managing to maintain when I really want to be losing. Will focus again when 2014 gets me back on a normal eating schedule.

Hi I'm 9 days PO, and just wanted to know if there is any support out here. I'm doing it all alone and needed some encouragement. The lbs are falling off as I'd hope or at the rapid weight as must sleevers in the beginning. Any suggestions?

Hello, I had the sleeve done on Dec 18th and I feel great. I started my journey at 373 over a year and a half ago and just couldn't seem to lose the weight. I got down to 339 and then moved. I started therapy and she suggested looking into weight loss surgery. That was in October 2013. I decided to do it. I quit smoking and saw the Dr. At ky 2 week pre-op on Dec 5 I weighed in at 356. I lost 23lbs pre-op and as of today I weighed in at 309. I did almost nothing the first 2 wks but walk about 20 min a day. At my 3 week check up I was cleared to start doing exercises just not any abdominal yet. I have been in the gym 5-6 days a week. I did my new personal best on the treadmill for the mile yesterday of 19:10. Before sirgery it would take me nearly 30 min and I would have to take breaks. I feel fantastic. I also do about 3 miles on the incumbant bike and do weight training as well. I am so excoted to be startong ky new life. I am 44 and wish I had done this years ago. I did not grow up overweight but have been carrying this weight for over 20 years since having 4 children and a horrible accident after my first 2 were born. I have major issues with my leg from the accident so losing this weigjt is a god send for me. I have had no issues this far with neausia or vomiting. I can swallow my vitamins with no issues and i shoot for 80-100 grams of protein and get all my water intake in. I wish all of you out there doing this a safe, happy and life changing journey.

I would like to join in.. i was sleeved 19 th nov,2013 i weight 330 lbs and now weigh 279lbs. My first goal is to hit 200lbs then work down to 180.. if i lose more that will be awesome

I started at 251. surgery on 11/4/13 at 221 now 12 weeks out at 182. So Very happy!

I had my surgery 12/11/13 I was 288 pounds. I have battle multiple hospital admission due to dehydration and nausea. Also had problems with starvation acidosis. Ended up finally be dilated due to the narrow from surgery. I need some support having doubts but I look at my son and realize the reason I did this was to be around for my eleven year old. Today I'm currently at 228 pounds at 6 weeks out am I still losing much to soon.....
