How long did it take you?! When did u start exercising?

Hi everyone!! I was sleeved oct 24th of last year im a couple days shy of three months out! At my highest weight I was a whopping 352.6 lbs. On surgery day I was 336. Im so happy to report that almost three months out I am at 285.3 and still loosing! I must admit.. I need to get back to eating better! But generally I do real well. I'm super happy w my results and don't regret getting my sleeve at all. I worry about stretching my sleeve tho .. Someone I think I drink to fast or if I do t chew we'll enough. Other the. That I'm doing really well! Any other sleevers that where sleeved around my time and my size .. What are ur stats?! I was wondering if in ahead of the game behind or what! I know everyone's different but I can't help but wanting know how I'm doing!!!

Stalls ate super frustrating.. My order stall was at three weeks and from what I heard it was fairly common that it happens then the dreaded "week three stall" mine lasted like 3 weeks but then the scale was on the go again!!! I hope that the scale starts moving along for you too! Don't get discouraged keep eating right and drinking lots of water!!

.... Oh! As far as the them trying to feed you!! Just simply tell them that u have come to far to let a piece of cake take u back!! && if they say "oh one piece won't hurt" tell then last time u ha a couple cheat bits that it made u super sick because ur stomach isn't used to it anymore and u don't want to cross that bridge again!

I'm just a little over a month out and I have lost 45 lbs since my highest weight. So people notice! && like you i did not tell anyone.. When they ask me what I have done or am doing I simply reply that I have change my lifestyle and I'm on a major diet! I stress how hard it it but my result have been worth it && Im excited! I explain that I'm not eating fast food no sugar no carbs!! No drinks but water and ice tea! Very strict and I have been exercising like crazy! I only eating protein and veggies for lunch/dinner and a couple eggs and bananas for breakfast. I go on to tell them that since I was eating so crappy and much that when I cut it all out of my life it was t hard for me too lose it ... But the loosig has slowed down a bit And people think its great! The awesome part is that not one lick of it is a lie I just leave out the part about the sleeve ???????????????? hehe! I hope this helps!

At 4 days I was only eating broth and maybe jello! Water intake was harder but just take sips allday long. Just take ur time ad eventually you will be able to get a little more down!! I wasn't on soft foods till like 2 weeks after surgery! GoodLuck!

So it's my best friends birthday in a week.. Say if I were to have a couple glasses of champagne... Will I die?! Calling all nurses! ...surgery was 10/24/2012 ...

Puréed watermelon!? Is about the only thing that hasent been hurting my tummy. Is watermelon ok u think?

Yeah I cut down on it for that reason.. It's just so weird my taste buds have changed! Things I used to love I just can't stomach anymore! Sometimes the thought makes me ughhhh! Lol

I like your style Liz! Hahaha I'm scared the old party girl in me wants to!! But idk! I migh wait for news years and just be DD for the birthday! Lol not the New Years is far away! But it's still a couple extra weeks! I'm doing really good and I need out of this stall so I'm prob gonna wait but who knows!! Ill let you guys know on what I decide! Hehe thanks you Guys!

Pre op 352 Dos 336 10/24 Current 307.6 Want to be 295 Christmas morning!! I think I'm finally coming out of a stall.. Those are so annoying. Omg! But I have faith that things are moving along and I can those this!! Happy goal reaching my friends!!

I'm gonna lose it! I haven't lost anything I actually Gained a pound. Wthhhhhhhh

Honestly this isn't the wasy way out and no one can understand until they are in our shoes! This WLs is way harder then it seems and it isn't an easy fix! I did it and don't regret a moment of it! Remind him "for better or for worst"

Thanks!! Ya I have noticed the se thing so hopefully I am shedding inches!! I moved a couple pounds but then it went right back and I'm still not moving along like I would of likes! Def not going to make my thanksgiving day challenge :/

Pre op:352 Op day:336 .... 10/24/12 Now: 309.6 Coming out of a 9 days stall ... But I want to be 299 by thanksgiving! ) wish me luck .. Down 42 pounds from the start!

I haven't been taking this viteman but all my other ones could this have anything to do w my 8 days stall?

I keep hearing that you can loose inches a d not pounds! I don't understand it but they say that is possible. So I'm keeping my half way Sane telling my self inches are falling! But I hope some weightloss comes soon I'm now where near my thanksgiving goal.. And it's sneaking up on me!

How long does this last I'm pissed!! It's very discouraging and it makes me feel not so good. Ur right it's like damn why all the sacrifice and I almost had a piece of toast buuuut I stayed focused! But I better start loosing again or idk hehe

It's gets better!! First week gas pain is horrid! Just walk a lot a lot a lot!! && try to get ur water in. Slowly but surely even a sip at a time!

I was sleeves on 10/24 && I have been losing like crazy but the past 4 or 5 days I haven't lost anything. Is this normal?! It driving me insane GAHHHHHHHH!!!!! In only two and a half weeks post op shouldn't i still be dropping even if its slowly?! I am having trouble eating I don't eat right because I'm over purée foods and I don't feel hungry

What do u use?! Does it/did it work?! Help!

Yeah it worked for me but I use it a couple times a day instead of the instructed once per day. My stretch marks aren't to bad but the ones I have I want gone! Lol I think it's help to moisturize everyday! I have always been good w my skin so I truly believe that's why I don't have more because at my highest weight I was 352 and I should be a road map or stretch marks! Lol I use jergans ultra healing but I'm going to switch to the firming one!

I think that's what it is not eating enough ... But why I eat I feel like I'm not gonna lose like I'm cheating :/ && the other thing is I have been tracking my weight daily and it does make me crazy when I don't go down.. And my dad asks me everyday u lose another two? How much u down today? I know he is just trying to be encouraging but it adds to my insanity! Thanks you guys for your words!! I'm going to try getting back to eating every 4 hours! && drinking way more water!

I have been using mederma on my scars and its only been a few days but I can't tell the redness has gone away!! But the stretch marks are killing me!

Wow! That's so awesome keep up the great work!
