June 8th sleevers?

How is everyone doing? I have had some challenges, but couldn't be happier with my decision! Water is my one issue, it is hard to get my 64.

Height: 5'10"

Highest weight: 374.4lb

Weight day of surgery: 327lb

Weight today: 312.2lb

My average is 2.5lb everyday. I am never hungry, but my stomach does growl?? I am still cooking dinner for my husband, but I love to cook. I just usually take something from his meal and puree it with water. If that won't work, I go for fat free refried Beans and cheese or turkey chili. All still pureed with water, but still better than the Soups the Dr suggested. My salt meter is always going off. It feels like everything is drowned in salt!

So how is everyone doing?

  • June 8th for me as well. Doing pretty good. Only lost 8 lbs on 2 week preop. Came home 2 days after surgery and had gained it all back due to the fluid. I felt like Humpty Dumpty because I was so bloa

    Hey there! I am a June 8th sleeved as well. Its going good. I have found that getting water down has been the hardest, still not teaching water or protein goals yet. Pain is much better. Almost gone n

A 100 pounds and a new son? Whoa, you must be on cloud nine! Congratulations, I hope both journeys bring you much joy and happiness. I'm not sure where you started, but 100 pounds in less than 4 months is wild! Yeah for you!

I started at 351. Yes, this journey has now gotten more involved, but I couldn't be happier! I just have to remember to still get my protein

@@Hisbrowneyedgirl You are looking amazing! I am also a June 8th sleever. I started at 205 and am now at 168. Wish my loss was faster, definately a slower loser but feel fantastic The bionic has really helped and my hair is thicker than before!

How is everyone doing? HW 374 CW 240

Has anyone got a stall yet? I've been on one for 3 weeks bow. Utah. I know it will pass. The good news isotherm my hair is shedding less.

I definitely have had some stalls, especially after I went back to rigorous exercise and weight lifting with trainer. Frustrating, but I luckily haven't had loose skin yet! ????

My hair is falling out in clumps!! Any suggestions?

Starting wt 304, cw 235.

Ps The stalls have been at prior known "plateau weights" I've just increased my Water and Protein intake, make sure I'm getting enough calories, and I've gotten past them.

I have been in a stall for longer than I can say.... 8 weeks.... not really sure how to get myself back on track... its very scary to think about. ... I am going back to the basics and hoping for the best

Going back to basics is a good idea. I am only weighing in twice a month. Any more and I get obsessed with the scale. I hit 128 lbs lost Friday. Very happy with my numbers, but the hair loss is depressing.

You are such an inspiration!!! The hair loss is killing me too! I'm finally down 80#.

How did Thanksgiving go for everyone?

Not terrible but I did eat a lot. Also replaced protein with pie one day! Already back on track overeating just feels terrible so I do t do it. Also I'm enjoying the scale moving down so I stay on course more often than not. Hopefully I will do the same for Christmas!

Also in the midst of hair loss! I wear a lot of wide headbands. I'm at goal. Down a total of 60 lbs. I'm off all of my diabetes meds. Couldn't be happier!

Congratulations to all you June 8 losers! I started at 205 and am now at 160. I am definitely a slow loser but feel better than ever! I play tennis 4 days a week and go to spin class, zumba and have a personal trainer. Becoming a 62 year old monster!

All I needed was a referral from my primary doctor to Dr. Ren . Once Dr. Ren received his faxed referral I was good to go.

Not bad, I made a spicy rubbed turkey. Recently, spicy food is my life. It sends nothing is spicy enough for me. I'm sure it's a phase.
