Hi all, my surgery is on Tuesday 3/25. How are all the other March sleevers doing?

Edited March 23, 201412 yr by kimpossible80

My weight loss has slowed to about a pound a week. Very frustrating. On Monday I started a 30 day paleo challenge and I'm down 4 pounds. I'm hoping to keep that pace up. I have 120 more lbs to go until goal.

I was sleeved 3/7 and I've lost 50lbs since surgery. I have been stuck for about 3 weeks at the same weight and I too have notice major hair loss. I'm taking biotin, idk if it helps or not. These stuck weeks are hard kind of gets you down in about the process. Trying to stay positive though, maybe need to increase exercise or change foods around. I eat a lot of pinto beans and peanuts. Lol well a lot for me now. ????

I was sleeved 3/26 and have lost 70 lbs since surgery. My intake is around 800 calories per day. I've had stalls but I just keep my head down and carry on. Best wishes to all.

My sleeve was on 3/13, I'm still currently losing 1.5 to 2 lbs per week, 50+ since surgery date. I can go days with no movement in the scale, then drop more than a lb overnight. My lifestyle is very sedate and I target 800 calories and 60 grams protein. I have some days up to 1,000 calories. I did aqua-aerobics for a month and had better results. I've had some hair loss, but I started with a bit to spare. 5,000 units of Biotin are taken with my daily Flintstones vitamins.

Hi Fellow March sleevers - 18th march 2014. Down 30.9 Kilograms (68.12 pounds approx).

I am thinking maybe it is time we all posted our 3-4 month pics or changed our profile pictures. I will go first here is my three month pic ... I have just started really losing the hair, I am ok with this as I know it is only temporary.

Sleeved March 20th. 49 lbs lost

My hair is falling out like crazy. I bought some 5000mcg biotin pills that I am going to start taking and I am going to buy some re growth shampoo. I've lost at least 50% of my thickness!

Here's progress pics at 90 lbs lost

You are looking awesome sleevie wonder.

So I had my first stall this last week. I weigh in every Friday and the past 2 Fridays I have had no weight loss. I usually average about 2-3 lbs a week but this past week was nothing. I am down 64lbs since surgery and 74lbs from my highest. I was sleeved on 3/28/2014. I am very happy with my progress but looking forward to seeing 220 on the scale. Haven't seen that number on the scale since I was a sophomore in college. Hope this stall ends soon. Good luck all.

You are looking awesome sleevie wonder.

Thank you

Is anyone else experiencing moments of light headedness when they get up from sitting or laying in bed? I'm afraid I may pass out one of these times. Any thoughts on the causes?

I am experiencing that yess. It has been scaring me alil. I have my 4 month appointment next month so I am gonna ask about it then. I also have an appointment today with my pcp so I will bringit up then. I have no idea why that happens. It is very scary how dizzy and light headed I have been getting. I will let you know what I find out.

Yeah, let me know! I too have an appointment next week so hopefully it's nothing too serious.

Oh yes. I've gotten very close to blacking out a couple times. Gotta be real careful that I get up out of my seat reallll slow and wait for a couple seconds before I start walking and then it doesn't happen.

I was getting a little dizzy upon standing a little while back. I am under a PCP's care for blood pressure. Since he have cut me to half dose on my BP meds, I have not had any dizziness upon standing. Do either of y'all have known blood pressure issues?
