I am now down 42 lbs (including pre op diet weight loss). I have went from wearing a size 22 to a size 14 or 16. I can now shop in the non plus size section and i am super excited about that! i still have a long way to go but my husband thinks i look amazing and that makes me happy! I am soooo glad I decided to get the sleeve and soooo blessed my insurance coveres it at 100 percent.

Wow Pixie, you go girl! That gives me So much encouragement since I am 2 1/2 weeks post op and just gained back 2 lbs, so net loss is 272-247, so 25 lbs. I am also still a size 22, although getting loose, I so want to get into a 14-16 and shop regular stores! Please keep me posted as we have similar stats...how much are you walking, working out? That is my weakness, still feel heavy and tired:(

Can someone recommend something I could wear that would help me get accurate calorie burned numbers while working out. I want one that is accurate but not to expensive. I worked out on my WII today with the biggest loser game and did a 20 minute moderate level full body work out as well as a warm up and cool down and it said I burned less than 100 calories (measured I guess by me holding wii remote). The work out consisted of lunges, push ups, jumping jacks, planking, etc and my heart rate was up and I was sweating so I find it hard to believe I burned less than 100 calories..... Thanks in advance for any suggestions. and I am LOVING my sleeve! Oh... one more thing... an NSV... I measured today and I have lost 18 inches in the last month and a half... that makes the stall I have been at for over a week ok :)

I think if you click on the actual ticker in your signature line it should lead you to update? I believe that's the case, I don't have a VST ticker but is the case with ticker factory. Congrats on Onederlan!!! :D

I havent posted in awhile but I am feeling great! I have lost 80 lbs since surgery. I can now wear a size 12:-) . I weigh 182 today and my goal is to make it to 140 and see how I feel. I have not been working out much...that is my struggle so I have gotta start that soon since my weight loss has slowed down now.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
