I'm about 8 months out. Down 66 lbs. Feeling good! Just wanted to share my progress. Everyone have a great day.

I'm in ONEDERLAND!!!!!!!!!

Awesome!!! Great job!!

I agree, I know some loose faster and some even slower, but I can't remember ever losing this much weight in 4 months. Also, it's hard to NOT compare yourself, you want to make sure you didn't get a defective sleeve, lol. But seriously, it wasn't gained overnight, it's not going to come off immediately, your body catches onto the starvation/reduced calories, and goes into protection mode, causing slows and stalls. I also think that some people include their weightloss from their highest weight, not necessarily from their surgery weight.

Good morning March Sleevers. March 17th, I'm down 45lbs.

Thanks Sweet Pea!!! :D :D

Awesome Sweet Pee!!!! You look amazing! If I can ask, how much was your lower body ilft, breast and butt lift? I am only 4 months out, my goal is to lose a total of 124 lbs, so plastics is a definite posibility in the future! Thanks! Kel

Hello, Just wanted to say hello I'm not on the boards as much as I'd like to be, but wanted to find some others who were sleeved around the same time. I'm Kelly, I was sleeved on 3/17/14. Not having any issues, IF I remember to eat slow enough I've lost 29 lbs since surgery. scale hasn't moved much in the last week or so, BUT, I was able to fit into the smallest pants I have in the closet, Size 16 - whoo hoo, which is great considering I started in a 24. Everyone have a great day!

Mentalistfan, I said I could put them on...LOL, wearing them to sit in all day will probably be another 10 lbs. I'm short too 5' 3", but I carry most all my weight in my stomach, not my hips/butt/legs. And as we all know, no two sizes are ever the same, a 20 in Gloria Vanderbilt is different than a Lee 20. You are doing to do great!!

Awesome job. I'm 44 days out from surgery, It does get easier

THANKS Gamergirl, saw your reply!

Gamegirl I love that you can do the math with ease.....me, total math phobe! Can you play the same game with excess weight to loose? I'm early in my progress, starting my Kaiser Options classes next week, for 12 weeks, won't be able to schedule surgery until sometime in February. They require us to lose 10% of our current weight before surgery. But I'm curious as to what my excess weight to loose is..... CW: 244 Goal: 130

Anyone but me miss the photo section of VST??? I haven't been able to see them since the "upgrades". I hope it's back up and running soon, I need my daily dose of inspriation

nope PdxMan...haven't seen a thing.....

YOU LOOK AMAZING!!!! Congrats on a wonderful six months!!! How tall are you?

Mirabelle, I also had the same problem, I was almost two years out from my ablation and ended up having to have a hysterectomy due to adenomyosis, which was made worse by the ablation. Best to get it checked with the obgyn good luck

good luck!!

Just starting my pre-op diet, 10% loss is required before surgery, I have 12 weeks to achieve this during the pre-op classes. So that's about 25lbs in 12 weeks. Feeling pumped! Let's do this!!! :ph34r:

LOL!!! Awesome list!!!!
