Hello,

I have been on here in awhile but I was sleeved on September 23rd and I'm done 60lbs. I'm so excited about my new body and the love of exercising. I have about 35 lbs to go until I'm under 200.

Hey Everyone! I was sleeved September 11th and down 75lbs. I have hit a stall the past three weeks and have even gained two lbs. in the past week. Not sure what's going on but I hope I can't get it back together and keep up the weight lose. I still have about 100lbs to lose.

Hi there! My husband and I were sleeved on the 11th also. We see our surgeon for our 6 month follow up next Friday. My husband has reached goal, but I've got about 85 to go.

He must be so excited! I am glad for my loss but now that I am stalling it's kind of scaring me. I don't see my surgeon again until the middle of April but when I saw him in the middle of January he was impressed with my weight loss. He says with gastric sleeve I should only be losing 8-10 lbs a month.

He is, lol. He started at 253 and is down to 163, which is in the "normal" bmi range for his height. I started at 320 and am aiming for 140. I'm at 224 right now, so I've lost 96 total. However, I've really slowed down since about the beginning of January. Some weeks I don't lose anything, then I'll lose a pound or maybe two, then I'll go a couple more without losing. I figure as long as I stick to plan, I'll get there eventually!

It's been a while since I've posted here. I like reading how everyone is doing. I've lost 70 pds so far I think I had a little bit of a stall but since I've only been weight at the Drs. office I still had a weight lose. Went 2 months with out being weighted and still just lost 10 pds when I was losing about 10 pds a month. I'm still happy with that. I have 51 pds to go. I been walking after work and at lunch need to get to the gym more I know that will help. Glad the weather is warming up though we didn't have much of a winter I live in Reno, NV I'm not a cold weather person. I've been glad to getting into clothes that I've had for a long time and give away the ones that are to big for me now. Great job everyone for loosing the weight.

Sleeved 9/18, down 74.4 lbs. as of today, just a little under 1lb from what was my personal targeted 6 mth goal. My f/u is on the 20th and I'm hoping to hit it by then. I still have a long way to go, but I'm moving in the right direction.

Sleeved September 18th and down 70lb since surgery and 98lb over all. Have also had slower weight loss recently - only lost about 6lb over the past month. However, I'm getting a lot more exercise now and feel so much better so I'm happy. Will have my 6 month check up on Friday and hope the hospital is happy too.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
