You were sleeved on my birthday. You look great! Keep it up.

I know it may be very frustrating but don't give up. Try changing up your eating & exercising routines. I agree with Haleytrim about talking to your nutritionist. I wish you all the best on your journey.

Baby_angel and Sherripark I want to let you know that it does get better as time goes on. I was sleeved on 4/8/14. In the beginning I had nausea, vomiting and could barely eat much of anything. I had difficulty getting in my required Water and Protein amounts until I was about 3 month out. I am 5 months out now and can eat a whole lot more than I could in the beginning which is freaking me out. Just yesterday I wished that I could go back to eating less food because I am afraid that I am eating way too much now. Just try to hang in there and you will soon come to love your sleeve. I wish the both of you all the best on your journey

Hi Chris, Your story made me cry. First let my extend my condolences for all the losses you've endured over the past several years, especially the loss of your daughter. I also want to congratulate you on your weight loss so far and let you know that you can make it to your goal weight ???? Although I do not know you personally, I am so proud of you. Best wishes, Nia

I am the same weight as last week, 158 lbs. Halloween goal = 145lbs

My coworker had RNY in Feb 2013 and delivered a healthy 7lb baby girl on 5/27/14. Congrats and good luck on your pregnancy and weight loss journey

Way to go Tyt! I am a size 12 also. Can't wait to get to a size 8. Good luck on the rest of your journey

You are doing great. When was the last time you lost that much weight in so little time? Please try to be patient. Your body is trying to make sense of all the weight you have already lost. Don't get discouraged. Just keep following the plan and watch those pounds melt away ????

Happy Surgiversary! You look great

Way to go Nibbles. You look fantastic! Good luck on losing the last 20 lbs I find myself doing the same thing when I see my reflection in a window.

Congratulations and good luck on the rest of your journey

I agree with McButterpants, be patient and don't compare yourself to others. Most importantly, do not get discouraged. Most everyone experiences the dreaded stalls which can be frustrating. Just continue to follow your plan as prescribed and you will definitely see the weight come off. I have personally experienced at least 4 stalls since being sleeved on 4/8/14. I believe I am a slow loser but a loser none the less. I am currently 61 lbs lighter in just 5 months (I never could have done that before the sleeve). I went from a size 20 to a size 12 (trying to get to a size 8). As long as I continue to get in my required amounts and more of Protein, Water and exercise, I do not worry about what the scale says. I wish you much success on your journey.

Congratulations!

You look great NJ. Congrats.

You look great! Love the black dresses. I agree with your NUT about going back to basics to help you lose the last 50 lbs. I am also an emotional eater and it doesn't matter what I eat when I get emotional so I keep good foods/snacks in my house to eat during emotional times. Chips are my weakness so I don't even bring them into my house. Good luck on your journey.

Way to go. You look fantastic!

Hi rhfactor. I had the gastric sleeve but it took almost 3 months before my energy really got back to normal. Now I feel great and have lots of energy. I think the time frame may vary from person to person. It will definitely get better. Good luck on your journey.

Starting weight - 158 Halloween goal weight - 145

Wow what an amazing transformation Ginger. Keep up the good work ????

You look great Sparklecat!

Please count me in. This will be my first challenge woohoo.

Your story is so inspirational. And you look awesome. Keep up the good work!

Hi Hannah, I'm only 4.5 months out. I had a very difficult time eating in the beginning so I wasn't getting my recommended amounts of Protein and Water. I wasn't losing weight like I wanted because of this. I started supplementing with more high Protein shakes instead of regular food. Maybe you might do better if you drink your protein. I hope your situation changes soon. Good luck!

Congratulations on starting your journey. As long as you follow the plan provided by your surgeon and NUT you will do just fine. I wish you all the best.

Wow! Wonderful transformation. Congratulations!
