January 7th down 49 lbs 6 lbs to get to Dr.'s original goal 16 lbs to get to my original goal 26 lbs to get to our new agreed upon goal

HW 237 SW 234 Jan 7, 2013 CW 194 GW 170 43 lbs down 24 to go. YAY!!!

I know I should not compare my loss to anyone else, but you guys are doing great and I am barely doing okay. HW 12/10/13 237 SW 01/7/13 230 CW 2/04/13 203 I'm down only 27 pounds in 2 months. I think maybe I need to up may calories since most days I fall short of the 800 my nut said i should consume. I always get my protein in mostly through shakes and usually get in my 60 of water. The slow pace is allowing my skin to kind of rebound, but I was hoping for a bigger loss at the two month mark. Also, outside of a little walking I have not begun to exercise (having some issues with arthritis in my knees) but I begin physical therapy for my knees this week, hopefully that will ease some of the discomfort and allow me to exercise on a regular basis.

In the hospital I was on clear liquids, but was only able to take in 1 medicine cup of broth or 1 cube of jello.

I was one week pureed and then solids. I'm 3 weeks out and down 20 pounds.....yay!

I had surgery on Jan 7th and happy to say I went from 230 and now weigh 213 that's 17 pounds down YAY. I have had a few issues but overall this was a wonderful experience. Congrats to all January Sleevers

I am still in the hospital and have yet to try anything so far. I must admit I have seen some improvements since last night. The walking must be helping!

Im okay with the water sip, sip, sip which makes me feel full.....yay....until you experience it for yourself, it is hard to explain! However, the gas is what has me floored. How do you pass it?

Hello Fellow Sleevers, I was sleeved on the 7th, and am still in the hospital and I feel amazing already. Since I am still on the liquid diet, I was amazed that I became full after eating 3 spoons of jello. In all honesty food is not on my mind at all. I am happy to be in the losers bench!!

Congrats

January 7th.......... Yay. I cannot wait for the weekend to be over. :-)

Congrats Jennie and Tara. I'm hoping for 1st week of January. See you both on the losers bench.
