I am crying tears of happiness from the scale for the first time ever. I'm down 108 lbs from my highest weight and 93 lbs since i was sleeve not even 4 months ago. I am so happy i did this surgery! only 80 more lbs til goal!

20 pounds away from my goal weight! One year Anniv next week! I'm on track and I feel amazing! LISTEN, you will run into weight loss stalls! DOn't get alarmed. The moment you start eating meat again, weight stall. And every so often (more often than not) weight stall. I would go weeks without weight loss. And then all of a sudden I'd drop 3-5 pounds. The weight will come off. Be patient!! But keep in mind, once you start eating meat, exercise will help spee...

I had to lose weight for a few health reasons...3 months out , 8 mo of healthy eatting= 64 lbs gone...I feel great and some health issues are gone...with continued weight loss and energy I hope to be at my best by my 50th b day! Another positive ...that belly pouch is almost GONE ...for the first time I'm seeing what the scale shows

How soon after surgery are we allowed to lift weights and how much?

Did something yesterday that I never thought I'd ever do! I went zip lining at John Ball Zoo. I have a big fear of heights, and because of my weight, I never did it before! I'm so proud of myself!

June 1st was my 2nd surgiversary...wow, I am a different person. My mind is still catching up with my new body. I sometimes don't think I can fit into diner booths or subway seats. My weight has fluctuated more in the last 6 months which has freaked me out. I've been doing circuit training so it could be muscle. But when the scale shows a higher weight I worry. I promised I wouldn't get like that -- but it is hard. I can't believe how much younger I look. I turned 58 i...

New to the Sleeve Talk. Finally made surgery date. Weight has been lifted,

I got a tummy bug and it helped me get to the 250's!!!!!!! Like my hubby says I'm just one flu bug away from my one year goal weight!!!!!!!lol

Was told I'm losing "too much" weight, thats funny, I've been basically stalled for 4 weeks :/

Even though I haven't lost any weight in months, I now fit into size 18/20 pants! That's down from a 28 :-)

Down to 169 as of this morning. All my clothes are SO baggy I kinda feel like I look like a bum wearing them. Was feeling really down about this yesterday don't want to go shopping for new clothes right now because in a couple of weeks those will be too big... Anyone else ever feel this frustration about losing? Anyone ever have that brief hate that they lost all that weight?

Wondering if I should have lost more weight?

After a 6 month battle with ambivalence about the surgery, I have lost the 6lbs needed to reach my pre-surgery goal weight. . .It's ON!!!

Weight loss has slowed, trying not to get discouraged by numbers on scale...

Weight loss is so slow, going without meat for a while to see if that helps. Lots of protein shakes.

I'm coming up on a year. My weight loss has not be as fast as I'd like, but my health has greatly improved.

1 week from today I start "the sleeved life"... not exactly looking forward to the surgery, but am looking forward to the months ahead as I finally drop this weight!!

Down another pound! 27 pounds to my goal weight! So close I can taste it!

One third of the way into Options and I have lost just over one third of the weight they want me to lose pre-surgery so it is looking good. Folks are now having their surgeries within about a week of finishing options so it looks as if I should have my surgery in July.

Am I eating too little? Slow weight loss in first three weeks. I am eating approx 550-600 calories. The NUT thinks this is where I should be. I am exercising too. I have only lost 12 lbs, today is exactly 3 weeks. Should I increase to closer to 800 calories?

nine months=75 pounds gone. amazing, hell yes. in the 100's again, fantastic. ability to move freely/pain free no words. so thankful for this experience. questioning if you should do it? you should question. but in the end the gains outweigh the losses. love.
