March 2010 Sleevers

[achopp 0]

Congrats to all of us March sleevers! Everyone has done so well, it's so exciting!

I'm down 85 pounds as of today. Things have slowed a little bit, but it's totally my fault; I've been more lax about going over a little my carb allowance and I haven't really begun exercising yet. I've started an exercise program today and I'm so close to "onederland" that I can't believe it!

Hey Everybody! I am down 60 lbs, I hit onederland and have gone from a 30/32 to an 18/20. scale was not moving for quite a while but my clothes were still getting loose so I tried not to freak out. I have been working out quite a bit and figure that I was building some muscle back up that I had lost over the last few years. It is moving again so YIPPEE! Gosh I love being sleeved! So glad everyone is doing so amazingly well!

Take care...

Hey March sleevers,

I hit the 100 pound mark today! From 295 on 3/16 to 195 on 9/24. I have 60 more pounds to goal, but I'm over the moon to be under 200 pounds. Glad to see that everyone else is doing great too!

Andrea - big congrats on hitting 100 lbs lost!!!!!!!!!!!! You must feel amazing- way ato work your sleeve.

Things are going well for me. I hit my goal of 145 at the 4.5 month mark but then decided to go for a few more. I am now 129 lbs. I still get thrilled seeing lower numbers on the scale but really don't want to lose anymore - I just replaced my whole wardrobe with 4's and 6's and don't really want to have to do it again - LOL. Plus the lower I get the more loose skin there is! So I need to start working on maintenace. I plan on gettting my BMR measured as soon as I have time to schedule it. One of the medical centers has a wellness program where they do that testing. I figure that will really help me determine how many calories to maintain. I am currently eating around 1000-1200 and carbs are around 75-100 depending on how much fruit I eat that day.

Hope everyone else is doing great.

Hope you are all well, I'm barely in here and wish I came in more often. Life is busy! I've finally hit a nice happy weight for my body and seem to be stabilized. I hit my goal at 5.5 months post-op and am now at a total of -105. I'm struggling with the acceptance of my new look. It's just so foreign!

Hi all! Hadn't checked in for quite a while, hope you are all doing well. I started a new job along with my old job and find the world a bit overwhelming so I'm not on the boards like I used to be. Would love to hear how everyone is doing.

I guess we are loosing VSG boarders to Facebook. Coming up on our 1 year anniversarys. I have been holding steady over the last few months which beats the normal gain I guess. Got to kick it up a bit before I buy new spring clothes. Hope all is well..

One Year today. Couldn't be happier...

Hello Sleeve Family,

I guess this would be a good time to report on progress as this is our one Month Surgiversay!! Well, started the journey on March 19 (294). Highest Weight (306).. However,

I am happy to report that current weight is... drum roll.... curtain call.... standing ovations...(smile).... 182.6!!! Totally unbelievable!!!!!

I just left Marcy's today in an attempt to sized for the new "girls".. (well, the girls know what I mean). (smile), Well, 38D from a 46FF (can you believe that!!).. Compliements are out of this world, my look has totally changed, somehow, I am a new person and I am enjoying the person that I knew I could be. Thank you all for your support, encouragement or positive thoughts along the way. I hope everyone is doing good and understanding the importance to live health, through our eating, since given this second change to do it differently and positively.

Be Blessed!!

Hi all! I hope you are all well. Anna, great job at the loss! -145 is wonderful!

I am at -115 and trying to hang on to my pounds, now. Such a strange turn of events in my mind. I RAN a whole 5K about a month ago and am likely going to do the Savannah Rock N Roll half marathon in November. We'll see!
