I Had My Gastric Sleeve Surgery On _____, And So Far Have Lost _____.
claudia replied to sabrina140's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
I was sleeved mid-December 2010. I've lost 114 pounds so far. -
Well this is weird... and a little bit shocking!
claudia replied to LilMissDiva Irene's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I still have a lot of weight to lose, but I'm starting to notice more attention from men and also that women are much kinder to me now. Sometimes I miss the invisibility cloak of fat, and I'm a little apprehensive about getting more attention as I get smaller. Skeevy men are so offputting. I also feel uncomfortable with the attention/commentary I receive now. It's like you're up for grabs when you've lost weight: everyone feels entitled to advise and question you. Someone told me yesterday that 'OMG, you are totally smaller?! Where are you going?!' and then made this crazy gesture and looked behind me and all around like I wasn't really there. She said it really loudly in a shop and I just don't want to feel totally scrutinised and examined in public. It does depend on my mood though - some days the comments elevate me and some days I'm irritated by them. I get comments on my lunch, my clothes and my hair from my colleagues - it's like someone has taken a highlight pen and marked me now and I'm uber-visible. The poster who said earlier that she's paranoid she's got a button open or something - wow, that really resonated with me. I keep thinking things like that - checking my buttons and zippers to make sure I'm not exposed when people stare at me. Ahh, that's enough complaining for today! I do feel wonderful - it's just these conflicting feelings are overwhelming sometimes. It's nice to know this is a shared experience. -

JUST CURIOUS....6 months out!
claudia replied to hopeandfaith's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I've lost just over 80 pounds and i'm 6 months out. I've hit a rough patch this last few weeks - loss slowing right down. It's strange because I've been amping up the exercise. I have been on some medication lately that causes you to retain Water though so I'm hoping I don't slow down for long. Don't get discouraged - focus on the future and good luck -

...................Starting Wt.....Current.......Goal.......Lbs to Goal claudia...............242.................228.............218.............10 i had a stall last week and a one pound loss this week. TTOM and out of action with the flu. This week I'm going to smash it - I'm feeling fantastic and it feels good to be more than half way towards my final goal. I went for an hour long walk/run this morning and I actually started crying during it because I felt so overwhelmingly happy about how far I've come and how much energy I have now. All the best everyone. Great to read all the succeses in this thread. -

I was feeling down so I needed to do this...
claudia replied to LilMissDiva Irene's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
Irene, I hope you're feeling better now. When you have down days please remember you're an inspiration! Since I've joined this site I've seen your posts and been so impressed with your progress, positivity and how helpful you are to other posters. I've been having some down days lately - mainly because I feel so impatient - I want the weight gone now...! One of the things that helps me stay in check is reading posts from those further along on their journey such as yourself - so, thank you. Take care. -
