I think we should all look into the 5 day pouch test lol maybe it will get us all started fresh again I am going to Google it to see what I come up with for you guys okay

Oh and by the way you appear to be doing great yourself I think as long as we stay focused we will all see our goal.

Wow thank you so much for your words of encouragement they mean a lot to me since I am UNDERCOVER lol.. And to be honest it feels great but nothing beats seeing the photo results if it wasn't for photos I would never believe what I look like. I wish you well on your journey. And again I thank you.

In 3 days i will hit my 6 months.. I had my surgery December 6th 2012 and I am so happy I did this I am down 78 pounds and counting. I still feel serious restriction even though I have no food intake limits. I just know to stay focused and continue to do what I have been doing I was really looking forward to being 80 pounds down by the 6th but my body just wont work with me lol..So I except my 78 and will continue to fight for the last few pounds to drop. Maybe in 3 days I can take off the last 2 pounds we will see..

I just wanted to come back in and say I'm 100% back on track and proud to say the 3 pounds I put back on are now off with an extra pound. I know from time to time we will slip up but it cant be everyday. Carbs are the devil! Say no to carbs and things will work in your favor or so it least it seems lol

Hey man I wish you luck with the air force you can do it man, I believe in you! December sleevers we can do this!

Don't beat yourself up I think we get cocky so to speak, we lost all this weight and folks give us complements and then we feel like well this must be good enough but we all know we all have a way to go before we are truly satisfied with our surgeries progress lets all hold each other down and support one another in our time of need. We can do this guys. Strength in numbers!

I wish you luck, we are human but we have to want it no matter how hard it is. And this is hard we have a tool and we need to use it wisely or we all did this for nothing.

Yes love I will but only because I refuse not to.. =-)

So today I decided to go back to my 2-3 month basics since the changes I have made over the last few weeks have been working against me I have been up and down for the last 2 weeks and its my own fault I have been grazing and increasing my calories and including carbs and since I see thats not working it time to go back to what was working. this would be okay if I was at goal but since I am not and I want to continue to loose weight i need to stick to the plan that worked. I now know how to maintain the weight once I get to goal but this lesson is not meant for now so i need to get back on track so as of today I am making changes to get these last few pounds off before I mess my own progress up. *Taking my own advice* Wish me luck sleevers! I WILL REACH GOAL EVEN IF IT KILLS ME!

Just a little suggestion to the slow looser. If there is any bread, rice, pasta, or heavy carbs in your diet remove them 100% focus on just the fish/chicken and veggies make sure you get in at least 64 ounces of water replace a meal with a protein shake replace a heavy calorie meal with a fat free greek yogurt. You can't claim your a slow looser if you still have heavy carbs in your diet, your making yourself a slow looser because you still want the foods that caused you to be heavy in the first place. remove them and you will be fine. Just a suggestion. This is your journey and its up to you to really want it! Trust me I crave carbs all the time but I want the weight loss more then the carbs you have to make a choice on how serious this journey is for you. When you can say for breakfast i had a shake and for lunch i had fish and veggies and for snack I had a greek yogurt and for dinner i had baked chicken and veggies for a week and am still a slow looser i then feel your pain but folks say they slow but have bread, rice, pasta, and so on and wonder why? Wonder no more guys. CHANGE YOUR DIET! I am not trying to be hard on anyone but it kills me when people say they a slow looser but their carbs outweigh their protein on their myfitnesspal food intake diary.

Lol thats what I get for talking shyt lol someone post up a few months ago about water weight and I bragged about not having that issue and for the last 2 months long and behold I have water weight lol but you right at least its not fat and i took 1.4 pounds of it off last night so one more to go and i am back on track

Wow my "friend" came to visit me and gosh I gained 2.4 pounds in water weight and am not happy at all!!!! Simply depressing being a woman sometimes lol.. It is what it is, I just hope it comes off as fast as it came on!

Wow your doing great, Nice numbers

Funny I am still never hungry I went out one day all day and forgot to eat because I don't get hungry I eat every four hours only because I know Im supposed to I mean its crazy I hope I never get that hungry feeling back! I love that i Don't have to always satisfy a hunger feeling like I use to. That's the one thing I am honestly grateful for along with the limited space to abuse my body! Even when i am in bad mode i know no matter what I could only do so much damage I have fell off a few times but the next day would pick myself back up and act like it never happen. and funny I have never had weight gain from a bad day (cheat day)

Okay guys I am a bit worried right now I am still very tight in the stomach area however i have heard that by the 6 month that stage will be over for us I am now in my 5th month and worried that in a month or so my stomach will allow me to eat a whole lot more I am still only around 4-5 ounces at this time and thats stuff like yogurts but meats still only able to eat 2-3 ounces and be more then full. How much can you guys get in at this stage of the game? Am I normal? Should I be worried? Who can get more in?

great job

Sleeved December 6th 2012 and as of today I am down 70 pounds wow I am so excited

I already take that and this is my lower abdomen so I dont know what to think of that I take 40 mg a day and I take it faithfully besides I had acid reflux even before the surgery so its something else

I am experiencing some pains in my mid stomach area too. I am going to make an appointment to have it checked out Not sure what it is but at times it leaves me hunched over and in so much pain.. I hope its not my colon .. thats all I could think of..

Before the surgery I would gain 5 pounds every month during that time now not only do I not seem to gain water weight or at least pounds from it but I continue to loose.. I was shocked its so backwards for me but like with everything else i am not complaining. I am happy to say I am you guys opposite.. Sorry to hear that it messes with you but so far I have been very lucky.. thank God too I dont need any more issues to discourage me.

I am at 6 pounds weight loss this week best weight loss week since surgery ... I have done nothing different so I don't know why but I'm not complaining.

Just checking in with my fellow December Sleevers, Its been about 4 months and a week now since my surgery and I am down 60 pounds from the day of Surgery and I feel so good I am to small for everything I now own and had to pick up a few items I also only have 33 pounds left to goal and it really shows. After having a few stalls in the beginning its as though my weight loss has been going great non stop and I love it. My only complaint is I don't enjoy going out to eat like I use to because I can no longer enjoy The bread and soup and salad before a meal so I sit and watch everyone else eat while I sit and wait on my main course and then once its there I can only focus on protein, I feel like I waste money on a full course meal only to eat such a small portion. I mean don't get me wrong I love my tool but sometimes it has its downfalls.. Oh well I'm loosing and happy and overall thats what matters!

Wow you look great Nice loss.
