Everyone is doing fantastic! It's been a little while since I checked it, but have been periodically checking posts. Things are going great! Starting weight 279, today I weight 219. I'm down an even 60lbs. Couldn't be happier and feel great! Hairloss is happening, but I'm not losing much. Way to go April sleevers!! I love reading everyone's progress.

Congrats to everyone who is ye slimming down. We all waited a while and I say thanks to God for all he has done!

checking in: sleeved april 20th and down 44lbs. i have started experiencing Hair loss, but so far it isn't noticable. reasons why could be lack of Protein, hormonal changes or something i'm unaware of. i'm very happy with my results so far!

Well, I went in for my three month visit and I have lost another 6. 4 lbs and I am now in 2 ville and I am so excited Praise God! So many years living in the land of the threes and in my surgeon's words spoken today and I quote " you won't see 300 anymore.

I have another new goal, which encourage me to push further to trying to achieve losing an additional 95 lbs.

I spoke with my surgeon and found that my inability to get in my Proteins from meat is not uncommon. Has anyone experienced the same issue please give me some ideas.

In addition to my 3 3-oz meals I drink 2 Protein Shakes a day now (took me a while but I finally realized the only shakes I can drink are soy) I usually drink these in between Breakfast and lunch and one between lunch and dinner. It helps me get in more Protein and liquid all at once! Can u not eat meat at all?

[victoryinJesus53 21]

Hi ThisTimeisIt,

I can eat meat, but only so much an by the time I eat my pouch can only hold so much. i am going to try your eating regimen and drink my Protein Shakes one between breafast and lunch and

the second between lunch and dinner. perhaps this will help me. Thanks so much for direction and for such a quick response.

Hello April sleevers! July 19th will be 3 months and I'm down 50 pounds. I'm losing hair and stalling a lot. I have been at the same weight for over a week. But, the upside to that is I have gone from a size 24 to a size 18 and some 16. My friends keep telling me to stay at this size, but I want to get down to at least a 12 and will settle for 14. It feels so good to read all the wonderful success stories. April sleevers rock!!!!

The only thing I noticed is that you're not getting a whole lot of Protein and it seems a little high on carbs. At least 60 grams of protein. Always eat the protein first, then a bite or two of potato or corn. But 30 pounds is great.

I'm with RMS. I was told to count Protein and carbs....not calories. I get at least 60, but usually 80 grams of protein a day. Aim for less than 25 net carbs, but have wiggle room up to 50 net carbs a day.

[chunkychic30 12]

I get about 70-80 grams of Protein a day. I will cut the carbs down.it's so hard everything has carbs lol. Thanks for the info all. Keep on keeping on!
