June Sleevers!

[lauraellen80 854]

Seeing everyone else's success is a great help as I was feeling somewhat frustrated with not knowing if my weight loss was slow or typical.

June 16th surgery date in Mexico.

HW 325 SW 298 CW 234.

I feel great no more back or knee pain, stopped snoring so my wife is pleased and much better energy levels. ImageUploadedByBariatricPal1444660376.534792.jpg

You look great! My husband is sleeping better now, too, since I've stopped snoring.

What I've learned so far in this process is that there is no such thing as "typical" in WLS... everyone's experience varies so much, you really can't compare yourself to others.

What keeps all of you on track? Could use some people to chat with and stay motivated! Happy with my progress haven't needed to really try to hard up to this point been a natural weight loss a little slower than I would like but fairly easy so far...down 50 lbs total 60 to go need some partners!

Like @@DisneyDreaming, I use MyFitnessPal to keep track of everything I eat and drink. I also have my husband take photos of my progress each month (no glamour shots, just front, side, and back mug-shot pics, always wearing a black tank top and bike shorts) and write down my measurements each month also.

Hello all, I've been doing ok, Dr is happy with progress.

HW 307 4/1/15

SW 289 6/1/15

Last weight check 225 10/1/15

So, I'm 60% down from goal at 4 months. I would like to be goal by Christmas. Loss has slowed considerably, had a unrelated surgery, a month out and was just able to really excersise this past 3 weeks (that's when loss slowed). Anyone else loose less the more they do? Do I need more calories/protein? I get 60 to 70 a day.

Sleeved the same day, down 121. I just eat my Protein, and stick to under 20gtams of carbs a day. Usually under 10 grams. I also get allot of Water every day. I'm a teacher, so walking is a given, but haven't done any other exercise.

Sleeved June 10th officially down from 346. 2 to 277.2 on Friday , -79lbs since surgery, unofficially was at 388.0 in January and started prepping for surgeon visit, so -111lbs???

[Engteacher 158]

Checking in at 11 months post surgery. I'm down 90 pounds and have dropped from size 20 to size 10. Mostly I'm grateful to be able to move easily between desks in the classroom, to have energy all day long, and to feel comfortable in my own skin. I can bend down and pull weeds in the garden. Imagine that! I don't love the attention my new shape attracts. I know that people feel the need to say something, but I'm completely over the "You look great" and "What's your secret?" Especially from people who have never struggled with morbid obesity in their lives. Anyway, I feel great. How are you folks doing?

[grandmaofone 411]

I am down 98 pounds, and am struggling to get to 100 by my check up on June 16. I went from a size 24/22 to a size 10 and I actually went and bought a couple of pairs of shorts this weekend. I haven't worn shorts in 25 years!!!!
