May Sleever Roll Call

[getnhealthyintx 281]

I was sleeved on May 7th. I began this journey at 242 I was about 226/7 on sleeve day and now I weigh 184. I have been 184 for 2 weeks now. Not a stall it's because I have gained a 12 year-old son during this last month and it is hard to eat right. My adjustment problem not him. So this summer has been an adventure filled one that's for sure. I need to workout more, I am full of excuses as to why I don't but I will be working on that.

Sweet 285 is my official weight it looks like so from may 30 surgery day 357 weigh in to oct 7 weigh in at 285. I was hoping for 275 but still a great birthday present for me so my total weight loss to this date is 72 pounds very excited . Hoping by jan I will be 250 zone

I was 328 before pre-op diet for 3 weeks. 305 day of surgery May 15, 2014. Today I am 227. I have lost a total of 101 pounds - and 78 of them have been since surgery. I am beyond proud, beyond excited.....every day is so much easier. I can move and bend and do all of the things you can't do when you have an extra 100 pounds on you! My goal is 150, so I still have a way to go, but size 16 in jeans sure beats size 24-26!!! This is by far the best thing I have ever done for myself! I got my life back!

Hi all! I was sleeved 5/14/14. HW 235. SW 220. Current weight 162! But have been stuck for 7 weeks now. Very frustrating. I fell off the fitness pal wagon. Getting back on this morning. It does help! Do total lost poundage is 73 pounds and counting!

[GENNYOSKINNY 78]

Im curious about my own progress, but also wanted to give others a place to "brag" about their progress. We all lose at our own pace but to know that you're in a range doing well is another level of motivation I could use right now. I've stalled more often then not it seems like. It will

So I will go first: May 22 surgery; down 28 lbs and 2 of 3 blood pressure meds!!

I've stalled for a while in the 160s but I'm not complaining THIS TIME. Im thrilles with where I am for the first time in life so weight loss is now stress free. I'm not to goal but I've found something greater. ..peace and happiness.

This thread has been mostly inactive for a while, but I would like to hear about the progress of the class of May 2014. Please check in and give an update on how you are doing.

My own progress has been surprised me. I reached my surgeon's goal (135) at just shy of seven months post-op.

I have noticed that I am hungrier than I was a couple of months ago, and stay full for a shorter period of time. I have no food intolerances. Has anyone else noticed similar changes?

My honeymoon phase over may be over. If so, that's ok. I believe that I will be able to continue to follow the program anyway. Although I reached my surgeon's goal, I know that I still have five to ten more lbs to lose before I am at my healthiest weight.

I'm still losing weight. At a slower pace. About 9 or 10 lbs a month. I'm down 100 lbs from surgery weight and 120 plus from all time high.

No real food intolerance. Just red wine. Sometimes if I eat to fast I'll vomit. So I need to work on that. I don't notice any more hunger than I had when hunger initially came back. I can eat more, but I'm not more hungry than I was at one month out.

food schedule wise, I eat every couple hours. I'm not sure if that makes a difference. But I'm eating tiny Snacks frequently to abate any hunger I may have rather than going 5 or 6 hours between meals whenever possible.
