Today is my 8 week mark since surgery and I have lost 32 pounds. I have 43 more to go..

These post are inspiring

Where are you from in Texas?

Great job! Congrats!

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!
