May Sleever Roll Call

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.

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

My surgery was on May 12th. Pre-surgery, on my own diet, I went from 244 at Christmas down to 202 on the day of surgery. I'm now at 185. My weight loss was slow to non-existent in the first month after surgery. But the last two weeks have been great. I'm also experiencing incredible improvements in my health. Diabetes and HBP are gone. I can walk upstairs without getting winded, and I now ride my bike to work.

May 7. Down 45 lbs currently 198 yes thats a 1. Off 1 Diabetic med, 1/2 of other. 1/2 of HB meds. Getting there! Have a lot more energy.

May 29 surgery date. SW 250, HW 270, CW 232 so down 18 pounds in the month since surgery.

NSV: off of my bp med, down from size 20 to 16 - 18 (goodbye plus sizes forever!), and yesterday my husband told me how good I looked and he warned me not to lose so much that I "disappear". Bless his heart.

May 21st - sleeved - current weight loss -27 (almost 28 lbs) . Had borderline high blood pressure (pre-hypertension) before hand, Last time I was low/normal blood pressure.

Congrats on reaching ONEderland!

As my surgery was in Mexico I didn't have an aftercare service offered as I'm in New Zealand. I'm down 25 lbs since surgery on 03 may 2014. I have been in stall mode for past 4 weeks. I'm not sure why or how. I'm definitely changing shape and have dropped 2 sizes in clothing. I don't know how to get this baby kick started back in to action. Any comments will be greatly appreciated. I wasn't super heavy to start with but was on all the meds. Am off my bp meds and cholesterol has dropped significantly. So am still very positive, just feel a bit lost right now xx

I was sleeved on Cinco de Mayo (that's the 5th of May if your Spanish is rusty)! Some people Celebrate with a taco and a margarita, I had surgery. LOL. I started at 312, got down to 294 pre surgery and am currently sitting at 267. My highest weight ever was 335.

Hi there all you May sleevers. Sounds like everyone is doing very well. I was sleeved May 6th and am down 36 pounds since then. I am feeling great! Some people have noticed, others have not said anything. It has changed my life so far. I can walk without pain in my lower back and without being out of breath. My doctor has already lowered the pressure in my CPAP and eventually I will be off it. food is not my main thought throughout the day. I am actually living life. I am so glad I did this! I hope everyone can start enjoying life again!!

How hungry are any of you who got sleeved in may

Checking in... Sleeved 5/24, weighing 265...Stalled on week 3. :unsure: Down to 234 as of yesterday's weigh in! :D Several inches gone too... Started this journey at size 22. Bought a 16 today!

Surgery date 5/29/14 weight 314..today I am 289

Surgery date was May 1, SW 223, CW 185 38 lbs gone forever! Along with my cholesterol med and HBP med! Love my sleeve!

I was sleeved on May 6th, and am down a total of 37 pounds. Am definitely seeing changes to my body shape, and love seeing my clothes get looser!

@boccob81- I have just started feeling hunger in the last week or two. Usually starts 4-5 hours after my last meal, and more often than not, feels like heartburn. I have also noticed that I can eat much more than I used to - still way less than a pre-op meal, however, so I'm good with it... for instance, I just ate a "normal" portion of canned chili, whereas before I would have eaten the whole can, and probably half a dozen saltines, now I am satisfied, and even full on just the 1 cup portion (no crackers).

Everyone is doing so well. It's great to see the success one can have in one month. As for hunger. ..I'm hungry all the time! Every 2-3 hours I must eat...I just make the right food decisions. Going for my 6wk check Tuesday and off I go to continue the journey.

I was sleeved May 15...HW 310 (my first visit to the bariatric office), SW 285, CW 253. Down a total of 57 lbs.
