January Sleevers Check-In

Just curious to see how my fellow January sleevers are doing. I had a very rough first week and prolonged hospital stay, but doing much better and every day gets a little bit easier. When I started my 2 week pre-op diet I was 336. Got down to 318 day of surgery and as of this morning am down to 298. That makes it around 38 lbs lost in 5 weeks. I'll take it! :D

Hope everyone else is doing well!

  • Sleeve on 1/25 and down 42.7, still in disbelief. Started at 360, never thought I'd be this close to under 300 again.

Glad to see everyone doing well! :D

Things have slowed down yet again, but the weight is still coming off. Weighed in at 264 this morning. My first big goal is to get down to 250. I haven't weighed that since I was probably in middle school, so we're talking damn near 30 years ago. Haven't been able to get to the gym much lately but still getting my walking in. Hoping that once I get back to the weights it'll help things get going again.

Keep up the great work everyone!

Pre-op 307

Last weigh in 249

Sleeved 1/16/17

No scale at home just weigh at appointments.

Don't won't to drive myself crazy with the scale!

Hey all!! Sleeved 1/30 and doing pretty well. Feel fortunate I haven't had any stalls yet. I lose each week sometimes only 2lbs but I've lost up to 5 in a week. I'm female 5' 5" and my goal weight is 145lbs.
SW: 315
Current: 248
Total lost: 67lbs!!
Hit my 3 month goal of 250. Next goal is to be under 220 which I haven't seen in over 10 years...then I'm full steam ahead to onederland!!


Hi all! So I'm at that stall that I've been reading others have had and it's so frustrating! A year ago I stopped weighing myself when I hit 295. I'm pretty sure by last July i was around 310 based on my clothes. I knew I had to do something before I died from all my health problems (uncontrolled diabetes even on insulin and 2 different pills, high cholesterol, severe sleep apnea, liver problems and blood pressure increasing). I kept putting off my final clearance for surgery because I was afraid. I managed to loose and get back down to 280. But that was not helping my health issues. So I went ahead and decided to get it done. My pre op weight was 272 and down to 262 the day of surgery 1/16. I'm now at 226 which I know is great but I've only lost 4 pounds in the last 4 weeks! I'm so frustrated and feel like I'm loosing this battle ☹️.


Hi Jackie my weight loss is slowing down too, in the last month I only lost 5 pounds. I can eat more now and I regularly hit 1200 calories per day and often more. Don't give up! Slow loss is still loss :) I am starting exercising more to make up for the increased calories intake.

Hi Criolelaie! Thank you, it's good to know you are not alone on an island!!! You are so right, slow loss is better than no loss, I just have to keep telling myself that. I've started swimming to help with exercise so hopefully that will start some more loss. Thanks again and keep up the great work! [emoji4]

You are losing! Going in the right direction!! Great job! I'm eating more calories (1000-1200), particularly on work out days. Before pre-op diet 236, SW 226 (Sleeved 1/12/17), CW 180.


My weight loss has slowed in the last month but I think it's just a stair step before the next big drop. *Fingers crossed*

Surgery: 1/20/17

H: 5'8"

SW: 275

CW: 240

Down 45lbs, 3 dress sizes and a TON of inches!!
