I made a group called "December 2016 Sleevers!" I would love for everyone who has a surgery date in December to join! lets be a great support system for each other and go on this journey to a better us with great friends. Share our success and failures along the way, cheer each other on, wether you already have support from your family and friends or from nobody at all like I've unfortunately seen from some, lets make sure we definitely have each other to lean on! btw they say you normally gain weight around the holidays, are we crazy?! haha

December 29th. Can I join?

I was glad to read that some others are hitting that stall! I am a month out and the first 20 went fairly quickly, but in the last week....nothing! I do agree that the inches do still seem to be moving, so that is good.

I was dec 5th...

I'm down 16kgs since 2 week pre op or 13 kgs down since op dec 5th.. I have had a slight stall week 3 to week 4.5.

I'm also a low BMI'er so I started at around 84kgs now I'm 68.

I don't do calories and wouldn't have a clue how much I eat but I do eat Protein at every meal and keep my fats up and carbs down to very little.

eggs are a major food in my plan as well as cottage cheese , cream cheese and any cheese really lol..

I eat chicken and beef mince and tuna

Cauliflower, carrot and zucchini mostly

Protein powder is sometimes added as well to different dishes ..

avocado is a huge part of what i eat as well

You are doing great. I started pre op weight at 242 lbs. ... surgery day weight was 219 lbs.. weight now is 191 lbs. so , 6 weeks with 26 lb weightloss but 51 lbs overall. I eat tuna, grilled chicken breast, squash, carrots, Protein shakes, boiled eggs, refried Beans, Greek yogurt and sugar free Jello. Spoke with nutritionist today and she said I am making great food choices and to give my body time to adjust and then lose. My doc said I am tracking on point as well today. I only have 40 lbs to go until I'm at goal but he said I may lose more due to he doesn't expect me to stop until June that is when I may plateau. My BMI is 30 now and it was 39.4 to start. So I thank God for blessing me with this opportunity. I'm staying optimistic and gonna keep on my elliptical until I get to where I want to be.

I'm December 5th too! *high fives*

Me tooo!

I have a weird question. Does anyone else feel like they have BO more often now than before surgery? I cannot go more than a day without showering and when I exercise, forget it! I was not like this before . Anyone else???

Yes I do ..... before I could literally go without deodorant ( not that I did lol)

Now I find I need more or an extra shower. And at the gym I'm like omg lol...

Maybe has something to do with ketosis or that extra Protein.. cause remembering back to when I stared body building I had the same thing

@@erica_ozzy73 I only have three wounds one to the right of my belly one to my left and one below my sternum as well- the one below my sternum was where the liver retractor was- at least that's what my dr told me so nearly everyone should have that one because it's where the liver is lifted for the procedure

It's been a month since my surgery 12/20/16, I think I'm doing pretty good especially with inches, my lbs are kinda at a steady pace. I started out at 267 before surgery I weighed 258 now I'm stuck at 242...
