Hi December sleevers! Let's chime in on our progress. It's been 9 months and I'm down to some 14-16 dresses from a size 24. My weight loss has slowed, but I'm happy with my progress. Can't wait to get to onederland! I have 32 more pounds to get under 200#. Still getting a handle on vitamins and I'm living with no regrets! Rocking my sleeve!

Congrats to us all! We're making great progess. Can't wait to see where we'll be on our Surgiversaries!

I use Celebrate caramel, berry, and chocolate calcium citrate chews. Very tasty!

I'm down 66 pounds post-op and 94 pounds in all, but I'm still considered obese! So, I have some work to do...to the tune of 60-80 more pounds to lose! My weight will then be normal to overweight... Anyway, I'm quite happy with my progress.????

Enjoy the size 6! Congrats!

2 smart water 33 oz. bottles a day work for me. I start my day with vitamins and water (right next to my bed) and find myself being successful when I finish one bottle by noon each day. If I finish by 10 am, I can get almost 3 bottles in and move the scale! It just happened this week after a 2-month stall. Don't underestimate the power of the right amount of water. Good luck!

Will have to try...sounds delish.

Thanks for the advice! Getting in my water too!

I've been in a 2-month stall since 6 months out, but I'm staying focused. Just added more exercise and more Protein (in my coffee and through out the day) and I'm seeing some progress. Down a couple pounds this week. Just walked in the park and played tennis with family and friends. I'm spoiled by the 5-7 # a week losses I had in the beginning. I need to lose another 50-60# to get to goal and I hope to get there by December. Still happy I'm almost down 100#. HW:324 SW:296 CW:234 Goal:180

I've lost 85# altogether, 57# since surgery. I quickly moved to the slow loser category after the first 2 months. But slow and steady should mean not too much loose skin. I'm increasing my water and protein intake. I read that makes a difference. We'll see. Anyway, I'm glad we have this site to encourage each other.

Same problem here except I was sleeved in December. I have slowed down on exercise, but I plan to increase that this summer. I'm still getting praise for losing so much weight. Hopefully, we'll continue to lose over the next year as many others have said on here...the 18 month mark seems to be where the weight loss stops for lots of people with stalls along the way.

Awesome!

I ordered chewable calcium citrate from Celebrate vitamins. They have sugar-free berry, chocolate, and caramel flavors. The berry is my favorite. Tastes like candy!

Try Power Crunch bars. They are like sugar wafers and are low sugar (5-6 grams), around 200 calories and 13-14 grams of protein. I love them!

I've increased my exercising, but need to do more... Anyway, I'm 52 pounds down since 12/19! It's quite hard to believe. ????????

Takingcontrol that was a creative post!

I'm traveling and I don't need a seatbelt extender!

How motivating! You look great!

I'm 6 weeks and 2 days out and just did Zumba for 40 min and cycling for 20 min. I burned off all the calories I ate today. So, I'm going to have dinner now. Not sure what yet... I'm down 20 pounds since surgery and I'm now incorporating exercise, so I'm really hoping to see more toning and weight loss over the next few months...heck...weeks.

I'm down 24# since 12/19 and loving it!

I'm grateful for my sleeve! It's a tool that helped me lose 24 pounds since 12/19/12. Looking forward to losing even more!

Thanks for sharing your awesome story! You look great! You're truly motivating to those of us who just started our sleeve journey to healthier and more fulfilling lives!

Same here...I'm 4 weeks out today and can have a 5.3 oz of Dannon light & fit Greek yogurt, but it takes me a while to eat 2-3 oz of turkey deli meat with light ranch dressing.
