Rochelle2012 1 Posted May 26, 2012 I was sleeved April 20th. I'm done 30 pounds but I lost 10 before surgery. I'm at a stall and frustrated. I get my Protein and Water in daily, take two Multi Vitamins and Calcium daily. I'm having a hard time exercising because my knees are bad. I can sure feel the difference in my clothes. It's great to see how others are doing. I'm thankful for this site and all of you!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RMS 64 Posted May 26, 2012 I was sleeved on 4/10 also. Down 42 pounds. I need to start exercising. I'm trying to find a place with a pool that doesn't cost too much. 1 arj1016 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mrsdraculaura 1 Posted May 29, 2012 Hi all! I had surgery 4/18, and am down 32 pounds... I know we all lose differently, but I'm a little worried this is too slow. I'm losing 1-2 pounds a week at this point. Is this normal? Any suggestions on how I can get the scale to move a little faster?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

findingmyself 8 Posted June 20, 2012 8 weeks today and I am enjoying the beach with my daughter on our girls trip! Just finished bronzed grouper. Eating has been rocky but I love my sleeve. I'm a slow loser. When I left town I was down 22 lbs and sitting at 200.0 hoping for onderland when I get home! So happy! Best wishes to all the April sleevers! 1 arj1016 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WillowsKnot 71 Posted June 21, 2012 I am a long way from onelander, BUT... I have to admit yesterday was the first day I got up, got dressed and really felt like I had lost weight. I mean, I just felt thinner. I am sitting at 285 and I know for those of you that are way less, you probably think...REALLY????? At 285!!!! But.... I came from a high weight of 368, so I really do feel thinner now. My arms hang closer to my sides. I can feel my lower leg bones, my collar bones, etc. My summer clothes are starting to hang on me, but I really don't want to buy clothes until winter. A new bra, that I think I will just have to break down and go buy maybe this weekend. I can officially say, I am no longer a DD. Well, that is my victory for this week. I actually feel thinner....better....happy....in control of my food. Wow, those have all been a long time in coming. Cheers everyone and here is to a fab rest of the week and a wonderful weekend! 1 MamaT reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jonesdidit2406 1 Posted June 21, 2012 <p>Hello April sleevers I was sleeved on April 10th and I weighed in at 235 I am now 198 and feeling so much better about myself. I can practically eat anything. Its learning how to detect when I had enough or a certain type of food that just dont work. When ever that happens I dont throw up but I salivate like a dog for about 10 minutes. Terrible feeling especially if im out:( 1 arj1016 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bigkim 109 Posted June 30, 2012 Sleeved here in Dallas Texas on 4/10 weighed in at 261 and now I am 220. Without my sleeve I would not have lost anything and prob gained more. Took a couple weeks to realize this is just a tool and not a miracle. Pisses me off when people say things like "just fourth one pounds" or "that's it".......trying to stay away from the haters.....
