It WAS really steady, 8-12lbs a month till I hit 6months. I've been eating low carb, totally on my plan...but I'm just stuck. Actually stuck at 234 for 2 months. It's so frustrating! I know I need to do more workouts/weight training.

Wow! Linzlou2000! We have similar start weight and body shape. I am just starting this journey (although docs are expecting an Oct surgery date) and I hope to be as successful as you. What was the rate of loss for you? Start slow or fast? Any major stalls? Any funky stuff you want to share about the Sleeve?

I'm still considering bypass or sleeve.

Thanks!

I did lose some before surgery. Here is what I keep in my phone and you can see my rate. Another member shared her progress and laid it out like this and I loved it. Progress:

October (252) - November (232): -20

November (232) - December (222): -10

December (222) - January (214): -8

January (214) - February (203): -11

February (203) - March (191): -12

March (191) - April (183): -8

April (183) - May (175): -8

I track from the 19-18 of each month since that was my surgery date.

I have had stalls and it stresses me out. However, when you look at the month as a whole I've been pretty steady. Things are getting harder. I track and work out 2-4 times a week. I have had ZERO problems with the Sleeve. If anything, I wish I had a little more restriction. It is a huge mental game, but I'm going to win. I started at a 22-24. I now fit comfortable in 14 and am starting to buy 12's.

I work out 2-4 days a week. Usually the treadmill or elliptical with some strength/weights. I also try to attend one work out class a week.

I'm 5'5.

Best wishes. I'm so glad I did this!

Jenetts,

Keep us posted on your progress! How are you doing with the pre-op diet? What's your program? Are you doing sleeve or bypass?

Here is an old picture of me from 2008. I am 2 lbs away from this weight. Its been a great week of receiving compliments. Ive had so many people tell me how beautiful I am and tell me that they see that Ive lost weight. When I was this weight, I didnt get a whole lot of compliments but now this time around... I am. It really feels nice getting compliments. Im not a person that seeks attention nor will I ever be but was always the beautiful "heavy" friend that everyone loved. Now, Im the beautiful friend that everyone compliments. It's a great feeling. I will post a current picture when I have someone to take a pic of me. Im horrible at selfies. Im 40 lbs from meeting my goal weight!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
