Way to go! It's funny I just thought about setting some goals too because I have been hovering around 233 (down 61 pounds ) for the past month. It's sure easy to become complacent and unfocused. I want to be under 200 for my birthday - which is Dec 26. I think it's doable 11 pounds a month for the next 3 months. Thanks May sleevers for posting! Let's keep each other motivated!

My dr told me that the next three months most people will see great results but then after it slows down a lot. I asked why he said not sure but he just wanted me to know what he seen so if I can lose 30 in 3 months but me in the 250 area I can live with that when it drops to 4 pounds a month . But I think there is exception to it and I hope to be one ! :)

Checking in.....sleeved may 22 and today down 77lbs. Feel like I've been hovering in the 70's for awhile now tho. No gains, so thankful for that! Only complaint I really have is that I'm still not tolerating meat....of any kind, shape, form or fashion. Havent been on here in awhile so not sure if others have had this problem. My staples seem to be my shakes, yogurt, nuts, and any Soup not containing Pasta or potatoes. Getting all my Vitamins in, and diligent on the Iron since the meat is a no-go. I am having dreaded Hair loss but I've been taking 10, 000 mcg of Biotin daily since a mth before surgery to prepare myself for that. So not too bad. Getting all fluids, bored with my menu, but otherwise feeling and looking GREAT :)

Awesome - so glad to see this thread!

I'm leveling, moving beyond target. My stomach is still funny about certain things and carbs are a no so....loss continues but it's slower.

Frankly, I'm sick of people's comments on the loss. Never, ever thought I'd say that. Really.

Great to see everyone checking in.congrats to all!

I'm down 60lbs- 183! So happy, I never thought this was possible. I feel great. I eat whatever I want just a bite or two and mostly focus on Protein. I graze on beef Jerky all the time. I have wine after dinner (even though it isn't advised) half a glass is all I can take. My husband says I'm a cheap date, lol.

Keep up the good work all my May sleevers!

I'm glad to see my fellow May sleevers checking in. I'm happy to be among a great group of losers. I think that my decision to have the VSG was one of the best in my life. Compared to how I was at the beginning of this year, my life is so improved. At this point I have lost a total of 91 lbs, 52 of them since the surgery. My ultimate goal is looking more and more possible, although my short term goal of reaching 150 by my birthday next week probably won't happen. I'm very happy with my results.

Checking in again. I'm down to 226. So 86 lbs from my program start weight (well over 100 from my all time high). My goal is to lose 27 by new years eve. So I can be in Onederland once 2015 begins. I think I can lose it faster. But I don't want to get cocky. LOL!

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
