Come in all Nov sleevers and share your progress, updates, whatever! I was sleeved on Nov 4th. My ups are my pain only lasted a few days. Im able to eat and drink just fine. Sometimes I feel I can eat a lil too much. My downs at this point are I have lost 14 pounds since surgery. So share how its been for you so far!

Hi guys, I had surgery Nov 4, and am down to 221!! I have been hanging out at 225 and then 223 for a few weeks. Pre Op: 255, Surg Wt: 243. I just got home from a week at my parents for xmas and I ate so much crap. Back home and back on track. I cannot have things like carmel corn, xmas Cookies and candy around. I will try to eat it, even if it makes me sick. I really proved to myself that I don't get as much restriction if I don't do dense Protein first. It was a good lesson and I still lost 2 lbs. Go figure. My theory is that the body loses better if it gets varied calories. Like some days around 5-600, and some 1000-1200. I always notice losses after variations like this. This is very unscientific and just my experience, but--there it is.

Remember, there is no such thing as a 'slow loser' or a 'stall'. Stop buying into this negative garbage. Make good choices, stay off the scale everyday, and enjoy the journey.

Hello everyone, Merry belated Christmas and Happy New Year, hope everyone is well. Here go my stats... sw295lbs/size 22 tight, pre-op diet 272, while in hospital 277 (iv fluids), current weight 248lbs/size 18-16, 8weeks out. And yes, I can see my who-ha. Thank you to all November sleevers for sharing and checking in; continued health & weight loss. Xoxox

6 weeks out and 27 pounds down surgery weight 220 now 193

Hey everyone! Its quiet in here! Where is everyone from November? I am 9 weeks post op now and down 32 pounds. I am happy with my weight loss. I need ideas though of what everyone is eating. I was never good with putting healthy meals together. Any ideas are appreciated! And keep up with the updates good or bad! Were here to support each other!

I am 6 weeks out and down 68lbs!!! Still getting tiny random stomach pains and numbness but other than that all is well!

Hi everyone!

I am 42 years old and weighed 319 on surgery day, Nov 26th. I went for my six week checkup and am 271 today! Down 48 pounds!!

My surgeon is so happy with my progress and assures me it is because I get 80 grams of protein per day and drink close to 100 oz water. I also limit my carb intake to 50g per day. I feel better than I have since I was in my 20s!! As a physician, I work sometimes 90 hours per week, so it is difficult to get exercise in every day, but I am trying. I'm so excited about the way my body is changing!

Everyone's progress is so great! I'm at 9 weeks tomorrow and am down 30 lbs post op. I'm eating very little still, trying to get in my protein and water daily. I'd also love some recipe ideas!

I'm out seven weeks down 30 from surgery.

Keep up great work !

Happy New Year everyone!

I'm 8.5 weeks out from my 11/11 surgery and down 28-30 lbs from that day (177 this morning). My body fat percentage has decreased from 41% to 35%, which makes me content with my not-remarkably-fast weight loss. Huge news is that my cholesterol is down from 220 before surgery to 150! Last, a few people have started noticing my loss, which has been fun. it seems like I started getting a few comments when I hit 30 lbs down from pre-op (about 3-5 lbs ago).

My morale is good and I have only 1-2 "hungry days" every 10 days or so.

November 18th surgery down 47 pounds. I don't walk as often as I should but still 2 to 3 times per week. One thing I've noticed is that in the last week my old psychological food issues have started to peek out, wanting to eat when I'm not really hungry, wanting to eat larger portions than the 5 ounces I can currently fit.

I'm going to have to continue to work on my demons!

Surgery 11/11 down from 237 to 193 today. I eat egg custard, fried eggs, cottage cheese with fruit, deli meat with cheese, protein rich cereal, skim milk, protein shakes, cheeses and jerky as well as chicken, sliced beef and avacado

Surgery November 21st. Down 30 lbs. today!

2 months post op. HW 245, SW 232, DOS 221, CW 194. 5'7".

I had my surgery nov 19 and lost total of exactly 50 lbs.
