You seem to be doing fine with a low BMI your weight loss is not far from the average December sleever, Keep your head up you dont have far to go besides look at it like this the slower the lest likely you will have saggy skin. fast looser's have a lot of excess skin your slow loss may work in your favor later =-) .

Omg Another post I wish I read before this morning! I'm in pain!

OMG lesson learned this morning, Wish I would of saw this first! Since I thought I had 6 + ounces to spare I picked my breakfast as such. 2 ounces of beef sausage 1 ounce of 2% cheese and 2 ounces of yogurt! Let me tell you I am suffering right now I eat fast ( I know I shouldn't) and it hurts! Guess it is only certain foods that will go through in that amount! I wish I would throw up im so full and in pain! And I hate throwing up but this is worse! UGGGG Never again I will stick with what I been doing i hurt myself today and am not happy! I cant wait till my pouch empties!

I think that is a fear for all of us I discovered that my sleeve is bigger then I thought I was able to get in 7.5 ounces in the other day comfortably . I was shocked and I only did it because someone was watching me eat so i kept on eating *Yogurt* and long behold it all fit Normally I stop at half the yogurt but since someone was in my face i kept picking up the spoon because remember no one knows i had the surgery and small things like that are tell tell signs that you did. So i kept on and nothing no full filling to way after i was done. Shocked I fear staying here or even not loosing the amount i really want when I am home its cool to stop when I feel i had enough but at work i pushed my limits smh..

My highest weight is 258 I had no pre-op diet Date of surgery 12/6/12 258 Today's weight is 211 Total loss since surgery is 47 lbs.

I am a day late but yesterday made my 3 month post op, sleeved 12/6/12 and I am down 47 pounds and happy too! I cant wait to see 50 full pounds lost! =-)

im 12/6 too down 45 lbs

I had a rapid heart rate for weeks after surgery (12/6/12) it stopped maybe a few weeks ago dont know what caused it and dont know why it stopped but it did and thank god it use to scare me bad! I thought I had a leak at first but i'm fine now. i am now 12.5 weeks post op. The nurse made me feel crazy when I went in because it got so bad and the doctor only referred me to a cardio specialist (I never went) and glad because it would of been a waste of time. (being that it stopped on its own)

oh yeah and they were happy with my weigh in . she said I am doing fine and 10 pounds a month is expected. so I am on point with weight loss too.

Okay guys home and here is the story.. On my scale at home I weighed in today at 216.4 wii weigh in was 215.00 and of course the doctors scaled was 217.8 wtf lol so I guess I will be going with the 216.4 lol since its in the middle. point is no matter what I have lost over 40 lbs point blank lol.. No blood work was done they said to me the average sleeved person has no issue with absorbing its RNY people they keep an eye on so unless an issue arises there is no need for concern with my blood and intake I was like okay if you say so.. Quack! But it is what it is I feel good my skin looks healthy and unless something makes me scream help I will leave it alone.

thank you so much and I will you know i'm hoping the doctor scale makes me happy it will be the first time weighing in with my new scale so its all a surprise to me with my last scale I knew whatever mines said there's would be 3 pounds more with this one i have no clue! I'm hoping it either matches or is less I will be weighing in on my scale their scale and my wii to compare all 3 to see which one is closest to theirs and that will be the one i go by from now on!

I know how you feel but trust me when I say I have NO AZZ AT ALL lol all my weight is in my back and stomach and I do see a difference and I love it. I want this belly to just be gone already!

Tomorrow is the big weigh in with the Doc, I wonder If they are going to do blood work since I am only a week shy of 3 months I been putting in my cardio hard this last few weeks and I hope it pays off on their scale because mines doesn't matter next to theirs, lol the insurance company is looking for their report not mines.. Well everyone wish me luck I'm excited about tomorrow. I feel like they will be happy with my progress. =-)

Sleeved 12/6/12 down 43 pounds so far and doing great! Seems like all issues I had in the beginning are no longer present. I can still only get in 2.5- 3 oz comfortably but hey its only been 2.5 months so I guess its cool. I am usually satisfied after each meal so there is no reason to complain.

Weight loss is slower then I would care for but I just did inches and I am sooooo happy there is loss in inches since I last checked so I feel a bit better right now.

Love I went through a 3 week stall myself it was VERY FRUSTRATING! Please don't destroy your surgery due to frustration I can tell you now I UNDERSTAND how you feel I really do but the scale WILL MOVE AGAIN but don't hurt your progress when in a stall your body needs time to adjust to the new environment you have now given it shifting this and it can also go it to protective mode for a few weeks but it will adjust to your new lifestyle and react once again. But if you give up and Sabotage your already put in hard work YOU ONLY HURT YOURSELF I promise you if you stick with it the scale will move again and you will see results but whatever you do DONT hurt your progress by feeding your body NO NO FOODS! I believe in you I need you to believe in you too! YES YOU CAN! I hope you break your stall soon and get out of this funk I really do. Please be strong you can do it! Go team go!

Trust me girl I hear you but some days are harder then others and SHE KNOWS I love me some Beef patties and its a big NO NO for me because for one we are supposed to be retraining our bodies and minds and changing our frame of minds that got us here in the first place, I mean I have had weak moments but nothing wild and crazy and I think I can count on one hand those moments and I just love the results I get when I stay on track so I DONT WANT to fall off not even for a day I want to hit those hundreds girl I have not seen hundreds since the 90's lol sad i know but its the truth. So until I at least reach the Hundreds I do not want to treat myself to anything but working out and healthy living then we can go get a treat wink wink lol

Lol you are to funny, Thank you for the laugh I really needed it, lol @(for as well as his) Now that made me laugh Ha ha ha, Because in the car I was cursing up a storm about how inconsiderate she was for bringing it in and not at least covering it or wrapping it in foil to at least try to hide the smell i had to drive with the window open all the way home, SMH and I still smelled it from time to time I couldn't wait for her to get out of our car! Just rude I swear! 9x out of 10 I dont mind if she eats around me because i am usually already full so i know I couldn't eat if I wanted to but it was 3 and my last meal was at 1 i was no where near full anymore I was in drinking Water mode!

Sorry guys I need to vent!!!! Sometimes I really don't think my partner thinks about how what she does affects me I know "I" am the one thaat got this surgery I am also aware that this was my choice but of all people my partner? i dont get it why would you deliberately bring foods around me you know I am weak for? I Know that the world is not going to stop living to please me and me weaknesses but for God sake in my own home/ car I should not be tortured! IJS! I was in such good spirits until she came around me with beef patties! Who does that? I am frustrated right now because all I want is a beef patty and I know I have come to far to allow a weak moment to get in my way, I am happy to say that it took a month for me to get over all the cravings and so on but for some reason today I am feeling SUPER WEAK and she started it! SMH I wont fall off track guys because I WANT THIS! Not to mention that I also know that once I reach goal I can have those foods in moderation and not feel the guilt behind them although I personally believe that once I get to goal those kinds of foods may be big turn offs for me! I'm sorry I just really needed to vent and get this off my chest I can assure you i will stay strong and on track I'm just so frustrated right now and talking to her is not an option. I think sometimes she needs to think before she act! SMH #BeefPattiesWIthCheeseOnMyMindHard!

I am with you 100% I went to Starbucks Yesterday and brought a CARAMEL MACCHIATO fooling myself into believing I could use skin milk instead of breve, I did, When I got home and saw the calorie count that was my last sip of that drink I gave the rest to my fiance I was not even half way through the drink, I did not come this far to destroy my hard work to heck with that! Water ONLY for me. I'm sure one day I can enjoy a cup once a month but that day is not now and I want to get to my overall goal its nice making my short term goals but the overall one is what i truly seek!

I have gained weight in my stalls and it will pass I know its frustrating and I openly admit to loosing my mind during this process lol, But it will pass and it i will move again I am 9.5 weeks post op and have been in 2 stalls (on the scale) not sure of inches lost during that time but scale wise, one lasted 2 weeks the other last 3 and I still lost 39 lbs in it all, 19 on liquids and 20 on the rest of it. it will move, check your carb intake durning both those stalls my carb intake was high looking back on my, myfitnesspal entries, i noticed that so i took it to under 20 a day and it started moving again. Yes everyone is different but this worked for me if you are not on Myfitnesspal maybe you should join to keep track of your food intake and carbs and protein and make changes to better fit you and your bodies needs, I wish you luck

Dont feel bad I have yet to have anyone say anything to me and i dont feel I am extremely overweight yes i am overweight but not to the point that I would think at this point no one would notice however I am still wearing the same clothes (always wore baggy clothes) and I guess that plays a big part I guess it will take 50 for them to notice it too.. it is what it is i didn't do this for the world I did this for me and at the end of the day as long as i'm satisfied with the end result that is what matters. I dont want to die because I allowed food to control me. I love my life and i want to live and be healthy at the end of the day. I am so happy for your weight loss keep up the good work.

I think we are all averaging a 40 lb total loss and maybe it just not enough to see it, I thought it would be. I took before pictures 4 days before surgery I didn't have to do a pre op diet I ate until midnight that night so all my weight loss is post -op but maybe after I see the pictures to compare it to just maybe I will see the difference. just maybe.

If I may I was sleeved on 12/6/12 and I literally cried a good few times after surgery despite the fact that in 2 weeks I took off 19 pounds, It will pass you will feel normal again, head hunger still messes with me but not like it did for the first month after i was switched over to ground/soft food I snapped out of it. I have a nice sized family and they eat WHATEVER they want whenever they want and at first it was hard to watch them do this in front of me but as the scale moved down I just didnt want to cheat anymore and their eating habits dont bother me at all i have sugar free pops and stuff and i still dont even eat that i just want to reach goal and see the finish product so to speak. yesterday made my 9 weeks post op and trust me it will pass. I am very happy watching my body change and the scale move lower and lower.

Its nice to see everyone is doing okay I love good news I also been loosing a pound a day since Monday after a 3 week stall I love it and I hope it continues I really don't want to loose the weight that fast due to the possibility of loose skin but the faster I see the hundreds the better I am almost at my half way marker thats when i will be happy. still don't see much of a change when I look in the mirror but I see it when I put on my clothes. maybe in another 10 pounds I will see the mirror effects lol
