Any updates for 4 months out sleevers?

[AllyJonesVSG 184]

Hey, May sleevers! How are you doing? Any updates? Progress? Frustrations? Successes?

I'm at 58 # down now (48 since surgery) and feeling amazing. So healthy! Trying on new clothes makes me happy! Frustrated sometimes that I can still eat very little at a time, but that's the whole point, so I tell myself to chill.

How is everyone else?

Congrats on your loss!

I am a late April sleever, so almost May if that counts! April 27 so 4.5 months out. I am doing well except the GERD and random bouts of exhaustion. I am down 78 pounds since surgery and 152 from my highest. Have 50 more to go to get to my personal goal, happy to be so close but I know these last 50 won't be as easy. Hoping to squeeze everything I can out of the last month and a half of the "honeymoon" period.

i'm not losing as fast as i'd like, so I think i'm going to pull back on my diet a bit. other than that I feel good.

I feel great!

So many small victories, too many to mention but I will never regret having this surgery, it has saved my life.

I have gone from a size uk 26 to an 18! really chuffed with that and even better, a friend of mine has just given me a load of brand new size 18 clothes which look fab on me, for my holiday to Greece next week

Hello! Hope everyone is doing well :) I am down a whopping 59lbs since surgery which is nice! I am feeling great. It appears I’ve stalled for the past 3 weeks right at 201.3 which is sooooo frustrating! I just want to hit wonderland 😭 but I’ll get there eventually.

I am comfortably wearing size 14s though which is freaking amazeballs though.

So how’s everyone doing with their eating? I made mini cupcakes over the weekend for a party and learned others are 100% right that sugar makes you crave more sugar. I nipped that in the bud real quick.

I started the process for VSG in December, weighing in at 241. On the day of surgery, I was 229. Today, five months later, I am 184. I am officially "over weight", instead of "morbidly obese". At a height of 5'6 and pretty athletic, the doctors want me at a weight of 160. I will consider myself successful once I hit 170, but the weight has stalled lately. I knew I was due for a long stall, but it sucks that it happens when I am getting so close to my goal weight. Anyhow...that is my update. [emoji3]

Congrats!! I'm going for a weight over my doctor's idea, too. I was 150 during most of my pre-kids adult life. I figure I can add 10 lbs for each kid I had,LOL, and be good at 170. I'm 5'11" and 170 is a size 10, so I can't wait!! fingers crossed for us both.

[Kaylee.char 20]

Congrats everyone! We are all doing great it seems like!

Down 58! Super excited, even though i thought i was losing slow!

Struggling with low energy and motivation to exercise! Whats everyone else doing right now for their exercise routine?

Oh wow, you are tall! I am glad to see you are going for a weight that you are comfortable with too. The smallest I've ever been is 169, but I carry my weight in the lower body. I had a tiny waist, wore small tops too, but fit in a size 10 jean. LoL it may sound vain, but I dont want to lose my curves, and that is why I will settle with 160-170.

Hi all!

I really enjoyed reading everyone's successes! I was sleeved May 22nd, at a starting weight of 238. Today, I'm 170 (total loss of 68 pounds). My ideal/goal weight is about 120/125ish as I am 5'4, so I am a little over halfway to my goal! I workout 4-5 times a week for about an hour to an hour and a half of cardio and on the days I am feeling really strong maybe even an extra 30 minutes of weight lifting. I'm wearing both medium shirts and shorts and looking better than I ever have. I still get a bit frustrated when something doesn't taste as good as it once did but my new and improved lifestyle is the best thing I have ever done for myself. Can't wait to hear more about y'alls journeys!

I hate going to the gym so I started taking much longer walks every morning.

I thought I was losing slow too, till my doctor told me I lost 10 more pounds than my predicted weight loss. He said at this rate I will reach goal weight sooner than expected
