Hi to us who've made it!! Officially post op and feeling great!

Ugh I can't wait til I'm in the onederland numbers. I still have so far to go and it is taking a long time mentally but in reality I know it is not bad at all. I started going to the gym this week for 90 mins of cardio and I do 50 mins of strength training with my trainer. I have manage to burn off more then what I eat every day which I think pushed me over my stall. THANK GOODNESS....I really don't seem to mentally handle the stalls very well. I know I should be patient cause I tell others to but man it is really annoying. I did take my monthly pics and I can not see the different but I def can feel the difference. I'm down three pant sizes and I can fit into old clothes but in the pic I just can not see a difference. I think that will be the best NSV for me when I can really see a difference. I'm super proud of everyone on this thread. I think we are all doing so well. A year ago I did not think I would ever see this weight again and I'm glad I finally decided to take my life back and break up with my addiction to food, Well, I'll always be addicted but now I have learned how to fight it!

@@Veronica Page Trust me when I say that you'll be the last to notice how much your body has changed. Body dysmorphia is common. One day you'll be 100 lbs lighter and finally say "That totally happened!" Last time I was at this weight I felt fat. Now I feel smaller which is great. Also swimming in my clothes. I'm still wearing them though so my brain hasn't quite caught up. I look at shirts that actually fit me now and it doesn't compute.

I know isn't it nuts....? When I was this weight last and noticed I was like ew what it is going on i'm gross. Which is weird cause I allowed myself to still gain an extra 50lbs. Now I feel so much but and my clothes do feel larger I just want to look in the mirror and say wow I really can see the difference. I will be patient and not even think about it anymore!

Here is a weird question if anyone can answer. I have this shirt that I love and could wear when I was 270 and couldn't at my start weight of 310....well now i'm 258 and it still does not fit.....is it cause I'm losing weight everywhere but my stomach? SO annoying!

I feel like I am losing no weight in my stomach area! My face, chest and arms look smaller. It is very annoying, I wore a 26/28 and now have fit into some 18/20 but I have these Capri pants size 22 that I can't fit into! Super annoying!!

@@Veronica Page Sounds to me like you're having water weight fluctuations. I hate trainers that do that, work youtill you can't move It's horrible for morale and almost guarantees a break in motivation. My stomach is also a slow loser. I'm usually an all over gainer/loser but this time my tummy has been stubborn. Has to do with it being a surgery site. Closet the scale. It's the only way.

Yea I have just once a week weigh in from the trainer and I'm not losing tummy wweight which is a bummer but I guess It will come off when it's suppose to. It is hard not to move after working out but I haven't used my muscles for so long there is not much that was going to prevent that.

I'm steady with moderate exercise ( yoga and brisk walking/jogging are my favs right now!) I eat clean ( healthy fats and a bite here and there of healthy carbs.) and as much protein as I can stomach in a day. I still struggle to get 60g. But I'm close! I stop eating as soon as I'm full ( 4-5bites normally.) and I'm losing at a healthy pace. Slow and steady. My tummy fat started losing high and is working down. Hips/ lower abs are my worst area for sure.

27lbs to surgeons goal - Love my sleeve!

look at you Miss Sexy with her goal so close insight! Way to go! I'm really tired but I'm still moving and trying to stay as healthy as I possibly can. I need to maybe try to work in some more healthy veggies but they still hurt my stomach a lot! losing weight steady now but every 10lb loss I get a stall! Wait and see right lol! Hope everyone else is still doing really well.

Good news: Traveled 2 weeks to see relatives and lost 3 pounds and finally moved off a stall.

Bad news: My hair has started to fall out. Slowly at first but it's starting to increase.

Great job everyone I'm loving my new sleeve too! I'm 40 pounds down since beginning of January. 232 and now 192! I have Costa Rica in 3 weeks and have goals to reach!!

That's some crazy good weightloss! Good for you!!

I've tried a little salad, but my restriction doesn't allow much. I avoid lettuce as there really is no nutritional value and your body doesn't digest it anyways. Kale or spinach are better. Veggies don't seem to bother my stomach greatly but I've stuck to small amounts and chew like crazy. I love salad and miss it sometimes.

Thank you! Its been a rough journey for me im finally feeling better though!Are your veggies cooked? Are you excercising? I havent started but want to just dont know what to start off with. Thx in advance :-)
