How's everyone doing? Getting in your H2o, Protein, walking and dealing with random stalls?

I just returned from vacation in Aruba and it was great but the eating part sucked! There was so much good food that my family enjoyed. I'd have two bites and have to run to the bathroom to throw up. I know I was eating too fast, I'm sure but it was so hard. All the waiters kept asking if everything was ok. I hadn't weighed myself for the week and I was walking so much that I was sure I'd get home and find that I lost 10lbs. Wrong! I gained a lb! Guess I wasn't eating enough.

Even now that I'm home, I'm finding it hard to keep my dinner down. Anyone else having this problem at 7 weeks out?

My biggest problem is getting my water in. Have never had to throw up, but eating to much or to fast is uncomfortable and has made me consider throwing up.

Sleeved May 29 and down 34 pounds since surgery, 54 total. Had a stall week 3 and now another one this week. Same weight every day for a week. I limit my carbs to under 30 per day, get in at least 60 grams of Protein and drink Water constantly. Ive lost inches and like wearing normal clothes. Right now I'm shopping in my own closet and having fun finding old/new clothes again.

I don't think I'll hit onderland by my vacstion but hope to be there by the time I get home. A week of walking on the beach, snorkeling and eating fresh fish has to help! It will be weird not to weigh myself every day while I'm gone.

I hit -50 today and had my co worker take my picture. In feeling motivated again. Looking forward to my next milestone -75. Bring on a lighter life!

Looking good

I'm excited to report that I have also hit another mini goal if mine...

Surgery was 5/12/14 & I'm down 45 lbs. Yay! So happy I did this. Haven't had any issues with any food I've tried. Saw my surgeon yesterday & she's happy with my progress. Tossed out all my 3x shirts but still wearing my size 24 pants but they are getting baggy. Washed all my old size 22 & 20 pants so I have pants to wear. I'm retired so I don't have to worry about work outfits. That helps with the clothing budget.

Onward & downward everyone.

Hi May Sleevers! Wanted to check in with everyone and see your progress. I feel great, been taking ballet classes (childhood pastime) and clothes fit great. Finally wearing a size 12. I really do t mean to complain but I have been the. Same weight for over a month. Anyone else experience this? Just wondering if the weight loss is over.

i stalled for a month then darted losing again weight loss is not over if we do what we are suppose to do. I am learning patience.

I was sleeved may 5th and am down 75lbs. I did stall for about 3 weeks, but I'm back on track now. Almost out of my 12s and headed for my next goal of fitting into my wedding dress I wore 14 years ago! I don't regret a day and I'm enjoying my new found energy and active life!

I feel like I'm stalled too bit try to focus on what's important and not get too stuck on the numbers on the scale. I guess we didn't gain it over night either. So I'm hovering around 58 pounds right now. It's hard to think maybe this is it. I'm not even half way to my goal. Hang in there May sleevers. Lots of reasons to celebrate!

I was sleeved May 20th and am down 55lbs. I've been at a stalling point for about 3 weeks. I just keep eating my protein and working out. I even bought a treadmill It can be defeating at times-like I thought maybe the weight would come off faster and easier-but this is marathon not a race. I'm down to a size 16 (4 sizes!!) and love how much more energy I have. I struggle getting in all my fluids daily as well, but I'm trying my best as am sure all of you are! Great job everyone and congrats on all of your successes ( scale and non scale)!!

Howdy!

I used to literally hate, and don't hate me for it, but hate how people referred to this decision as the best decision ever. I guess it all is about life's experiences. Now, don't get me wrong, I don't feel that way, but I get it May-ers! This summer has been awesome! I never realized how few pictures I took until I started allowing myself to be in more. We'd go to shows and be invited on stage and I said, hey why not. Would not have happened before! I've just been living differently, same person, but a little louder I suppose.

For reference (not comparison, please), female, 5'10," and about a size 10. The doctor asked me to be in his commercial (I'll never be that loud - not happening), but it was a feel good moment. No doubt, the surgery did more than help, but I exercise like a nut so I sometimes allow myself to be happy not for this medical procedure but also for what I did with it.

Let's keep it going!

Sleeved May 28th an down 65lbs!! I have been stalked for about 2 weeks, but so happy with progress so far;)

Even though the scale isn't moving.. I'm dropping inches!!

Congrats keep it up
