I am 5 days out and think the word only should be dropped. I'm proud of each of you! You have committed to a very difficult undertaking (if a say so myself :)and you are half way there so in 8-10 weeks if you keep with your current pace you will reach your goal. Congratulations! !

I'm with you the word ONLY must go, I'm 5 weeks out and I'm down 30lbs I would never say only because it's way more than I would have lost without the sleeve.......

Don't get discouraged. I have weeks I will loose 1 pound or 0 and then I have weeks I will loose 5..

I know on the weeks I don't loose that inches are coming off instead of pounds. We all have plateaus but that is a good thing.

I started out at 205 day of surgery 4-21-14

Today I am 168.. We can all do this together!!!!

Ok, I was sleeved on April 29th. I am down 38 lbs. that happened the first 4 weeks out. So it sounds like everyone has had roughly the same experience. I am a little worried I'm not feeling as full as fast as I did following surgery. What do you think ?

Hi,

I too don't get full as fast as before but I think it's because our tummies are finally healing. I still can't eat a lot but I don't feel as yucky when I eat now. I did increase my calories and I lost five pounds last week. Go figure. I started drinking bolthouse Protein Drinks and that has help with the Protein and the calorie increase. They have tons of carbs though, it is working for me. The good news is that I had Pasta last night and it didn't even bother me at all. Woo hoo.

I had a stall about 3 weeks out as well when I switched to mushy foods and had terrible reflex so wasn't getting much good in at all. After getting Prilosec and increasing my calories while keeping up my Protein I moved past it. I'm 4.5 weeks out and am down 26 lbs from my surgery weight. Still have a ways to go but am feeling great.

I am 8 weeks out today and down 53 LBS!!! I feel amazing, I look great, I still have a ways to go but it's awesome. I got myself a Fit Bit 1 and a Fit Bit Aria scale...the scale let's you have up to 8 other people on it, today I confused it with my weigh in, it was asking if I was my husband!! ha ha!! WOOO HOO to everyone here! I don't regret this change for a minute! I even got to officially "retire" clothes in my closet this weekend and boy did it feel good to say, wow those are WAY to big to fit me now :)

Great work everyone, keep walking, swimming, whatever it is you do to keep active!! Cheers to LIFE!

It is wonderful to hear about everyone's journey. I have been "forced" to clean out my closet, too. Lots of stuff is just hanging off. Finally had a few people notice. Amazing that I can lose more than my 2 1/2 year old's weight and still not be crazy different. I keep telling myself that I am ok with it going slowly, so my skin can shrink with it, but it gets tough sometimes not to see any movement on that darn scale. Starting weight pre-surgery =265. Surgery day weight = 251. Current weight =221. Surgery date was 4/21/14. Keep up the great work everyone!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
