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!!

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!

Beachplum-you rock!

May Sleevers in general we are 5 months out and we are redefining our normal! I'm about 20 lbs from my ideal weight but I couldn't be happier 65lbs down.

83lbs down. Amazing journey :-)

Down 50lbs. Wouldn't trade this journey for ANYTHING!!

Im down 76!!! Im so happy I did this!!!

Wedding day Oct 2014 168

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!

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.

I am hovering around 160, so down about 20 pounds from my last post. The lowest I can remember weighing in my adult life was 154, so I'm really trying to get to the 150's, and ideally I'd like to see the 140's... But really if I didn't lose another pound, I wouldn't complain, I'm very happy with my body the way it is right now. I am strong, I can run several miles without stopping, and I have very little loose skin to speak of. If only I could make the stretch marks on my tummy disappear!

As far as food intolerances, I still have problems with spicy foods. Some days are better than others. Occasionally a food that I previously tolerated will just randomly not agree with me, so that's been a bit of a struggle.

I do believe I've also said goodbye to bread and sandwiches forever, except for maybe the occasional small piece of toast here and there... un-toasted bread just sits like lead in my new stomach. And I did love bread. But I see that as a good thing, because if I could eat it, I would probably be more than likely to over-eat it again at some point. Better to just say it doesn't agree with me, and leave it at that.

Overall though, I am very happy with my decision. I do truly believe that surgery was the only way that I was going to be able to lose the weight, and hopefully keep it off. As I've said before; it was the best ten thousand dollars I ever have, and likely ever will spend!
