Hey everyone. I decided it was time for us to set up a post op section for the August folks. there are a lot of yu guys on here and I would like to be able to see how you are progressing. Any changes? Concerns? We can help one another.

I am day 9 post op and all is well with me. Trying to stay hydrated and sipping on the portein shakes. I am able to sip more now, thank goodness. I feel thirsty all the time. Even if I wake up in the middle of the night, I am sipping. My fisrt post op visirt is on the 8th and hopefully eveything will be good.

Later Losers!

August 22 here! Hit ONEderland a couple of weeks ago, and am now down 40lbs! I feel like I'm finally getting into the "groove" of things as far as eating and exercise. For now, walking 5 days a week is working for me, but I may join a gym if my weight loss stalls or slows down considerably in the near future. Still have very good restriction, and I am very good at reading my "full" signal and stopping. 50lbs to go until goal! Onward and downward!

Posted this las week So today pulled out a size 16 pair of Alfred Dunner slacks I bought a month ago at the GW w/o trying them on.. They FIT! A NSV! I guess my 'gut' is shrinking after all..

Does anyone else just HATE how different brands' sizes are different? Size 16 Alfred Dunner, Size 18 Gloria Vanderbuilts and still size 20 L.B. Venizia jeans... grrrrrr....

My upper stomach waist area has shrink some. But not the lower part... Lol!

Today is a weigh in day at the PCP office. I hope I will in the 240s and my bp is down. I will post later. And my top part of my tummy is still hanging on to me. It is not ready to depart lol.

Later losers!

Hope all goes well but I don't know if its me but my scale and my doctors scale says two different things. I try to wear the lightest pieces of clothes (lol). Later.

Great job!!!!

Highest weight 213

Surgery day weight 206

Current weight 167

Goal weight 143

I'm down 46 pounds and feel terrific. I love fitting in to Old favorites and the compliments from family and friends. My bp is normal and my glucose is normal. I feel like I have been given a new life.

I put protein first and stop eating when I'm satisfied. The hardest part is not drinking when I eat. But I wouldn't trade the results for anything.

Great job guys! The August sleevers are rocking it.

The hardest part is the drinking and eating too.

I am very excited to read/hear all the success stories for everyone, but I must agree - the August sleevers ROCK! You all are doing very well.

I was sleeved August 19th.

Highest weight - 289

Pre-op weight - 279

Current weight - 220.5

Goal weight - 150-180 fits my body frame - LOL

I must say I feel awesome! It really feels nice to reach into the back of the closet and put on something that's WAYYYYYYYYY too BIG from 2-months ago and slide into something that you've been dying to get back into......

I say keep up the great work to everyone!!!!

Let's WALK this weight off....

Everyone have a safe and Happy Thanksgiving!

4grands, you are almost at your goal weight. That is awesome! I actually tried on an XL shirt and I still cannot believe it. Not too long ago I couldn't put one arm in a shirt like that. I am not ready to comfortably wear it yet because of the stomach issue. But I am still excited that I can even wear it if I choose to. I had spanx, I would definitely wear it though. I am very blessed, We are very blessed. Let's keep rocking it out and keep it off August people!

Later losers!

So excited... I finally broke my 10 week stall!!! I've been at 196 for forever. Last week I weighed in at 195.6 and today I'm at 193.7! Thank God. I was getting pretty frustrated.

Here's the interesting thing, the last 2 weeks have been filled with treats. Not every day, but I'd say 6of the last 14 days have had a dessert. Do you think that means I need to up my calories a bit? Certainly not with pie!

I had the SAME issue. Stuck at the same weight for 3-4 weeks, then ate some not so healthy foods (mainly crackers and sweet tea) and I dropped 3 pounds! WTF is that???

Congrats to everyone. I think am down about 30lbs since surgery. I have my 3 months visit this coming Monday. I am down from size 18 surgery date to size 14 in pants and dresses. My goal is to be a size 10 in clothes. That is what I used to be. I bought myself a size 10 jeans online yesterday. Lol.... My weight loss is noticeable and everyone is asking what I am doing. I feel very, very good with everything. I will post on Monday after my visit. Good luck to all

Way to go Galaxy Girl! You are so close to your goal size. I look forward to hearing about your Monday appointment.

Later Loser!

Hi August Sleevers-

Everything's been going great--especially the past month. Weight loss has been steady, but is now picking up speed (strength training the past two months is really showing some major toning results, too). For me, it appears the "magic" combo is VSG surgery and Jazzercise!

Highest weight: 200

Surgery weight: 196 (August 13th)

Current weight: 130

Goal weight: 120

Congrats to everyone's progress!
