October 2018 Sleever Hit Goal Just shy of 6 months

  • Popular Post

Hey everybody!

I wanted to post in celebration of hitting my weight loss goal just shy of my 6 month mark (5 months and 26 days). I am now 175lbs!

I was as thin as a rail in high school and weighed 155 consistently all 4 years. I never thought I'd be this close to my high school weight so quickly. My new goal (which I never thought was possible) is to hit 155 and be done, for my height, I don't want to weigh any less and I don't want to lose my curves.

It can be done. Use this tool to change your life and your health!

Don't get discouraged or beat yourself up. You can do it. If I can do it, you can do it!!!! I work from home and have led a very sedentary life, just walking and taking the stairs instead of an elevator, parking far across the parking lot at Target...it all adds up and helps!

I went from 3-4x Top and bottoms (size 24) to an XL top and L bottoms (size 12) and bra size 42F to 36DDD.

I hope if anyone reading this and feels discouraged or has any questions, you can reach out to me and I'm happy to help in any way I can...even if it's just talking it out.

I wish everyone nothing but the best and hope you're all happy and healthy!!!

My weight on the day of surgery was 264. I lost nearly 30lbs on the 2 week liquid preop diet my doctor had me do to shrink my liver. So since surgery I have lost 89lbs :) you go girl!!! You can do it, whatever makes you happiest, I lose inches when the scale isn't moving...how are you feeling 3 weeks out? I felt like the first 2 weeks were the hardest.

I'm definitely feeling better the 3rd week. I was really scared at first. I'm struggling to eat and drink but I'm feeling better now!

It gets better, I promise! I'm glad you're feeling better...you got this!

This is so encouraging. I’m 2.5 weeks out and on the full liquid diet. I’ve lost 27 lbs since my surgery. But my weight loss stopped 3 days ago. Now I’m worried what will happen next week when I transition to purées foods. ?

Don't you worry at all. Stalls are part of this journey. I went nearly a month without losing or gaining a pound. It was beyond frustrating. Your body is in total shock, and it can take some time for it to snap back into losing. When that scale stops, start measuring your tummy, thighs, neck, etc. I always felt like I looked thinner during my stalls...I was losing inches but not LB's! It's a real thing, I promise! LOL You will be fine and you will get to start enjoying more "normal" food again, yay!!!! :)
