How are you feeling?

how did everyone do with the 4th of july weekend!? I did not do so great =/ had a few things I was not supposed to eat! The scale said i gained 4 pounds from Friday-Tuesday. I doubt that is actually possible. I guess I will see over the next couple days!. Ugh holidays suck now.

I did ok. I have found the key for me is activity. If I have no/little activity I lose very slowly. Once I increase my activity, it seems to fall off quickly. One would think that would be great motivation, but the morning rolls around and the last thing I want to do is get dressed and go for a walk. Have to find a better motivator!

4th of July didn't go so well for me, had a few chips and guacamole and a couple bites of a pupusa. Since my vacation a week ago I haven't lost. I'm up 1 lb from when I left but hoping it'll come off. It's weird bc I'm trying to get back on track today with my routine but I feel hungrier than I did before and it scares me.

I'm down between 75-80lbs. Been in a bit of a stall/slow down the past week. I think that this is because I ramped up my exercise and activity a bit and my body is re-adjusting. Increased time and resistance on elliptical and increased reps on weights. Also started painting my condo.

Wow is it only me or does it get harder and harder to lose as the weeks go on. I just hit 186 - only 36 more pounds to my goal, and 46 to my stretch goal. Is anyone else less than 50 pounds away from goal and having a tough time losing even only after 3 months? You think this is just a stall? Am I freaking out for no reason?

Same here.but no matter what,it averages about 3 lbs a week.

I still have about 68 lbs to go so I'm sure the less you weigh the slower you will lose

^{How is everyone doing? Just had my 4th monthly follow up with the programs APRN. We set a goal for me to be below 300lbs by my six month follow up with the surgeon.}

^{I'm super thrilled with my progress so far. Lots of little NSVs lately, fitting in chairs/cars way easier now, my thighs are starting to look noticeably smaller when sitting down. I had to add notches to my belts the other day.}

Sounds like you are doing great! Congrats on the NSVs!

I've had a few NSVs myself. I had been stalled for the past three weeks, but finally broke through earlier this week. I not only hit a total of 50 pounds down, but I'm now at my lowest weight since 2003!! It's feels great!

I also got a sleeve on Mon. the 28th. They did a revision on me from the band to the sleeve. I think I'm doing ok, I am also having trouble getting enough liquids in. I feel full so easily. Also, do you know if it is normal to feel chilled all the time unless I have a ton of blankets on. My incisions are not infected, they seem fine, I know that is a symptom of infection. I'm sore also, but nothing I can't tolerate. I can't bend over and pick up anything from the floor and I hate sleeping on my back, but it is too uncomfortable to even try. Each day I'm sure will get better...I hope!

I still get chilled from time to time i was sleeved on 4/5/16 and my body still gets cold.....its summertime but i need a light sweater in the evening or covers on me lol

I have become a freeze baby! I am always bringing a sweater with me because when I go into a/c I am freezing. Sometimes I go sit outside in the Texas heat to warm up. Mr laughs as he is sitting there sweating I am covered with a blanket. Asked a friend of mine whose husband had a sleeve done a couple of years ago. He does not feel hot like he used to - she is now the one asking for the a/c, not him! lol

I think it is that when we were heavier we were always hot because of the extra adipose tissue. Now that is going away and we are feeling colder. Less insulation now than we had before.

that is awesome!!!

Waiting to crack 190. I have been close but having a small stall. Got a new puppy (8 months old)and she is getting me out and walking every day - hoping that helps counteract the 3 grad school classes I am taking. I feel tied to a book or the computer. I know the exercise sure does help settle her down so I can do school work. Waiting to see if it helps me crack this mini-stall. I am 4 lbs from my halfway point.... Yay!!
