Mews 37 Posted April 24, 2012 I had surgery on 3/15 and things have been a bit rough. I have lost 21 lbs since surgery but between the blood clot and an infected incision and the fatigue and dizziness ...well...let's just say I'm glad the first month is over. I'm getting better but it has been a long and hard process. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Michellefaina 45 Posted April 24, 2012 I was sleeved march 1. Weight before surgery 211 weight day of surgery 187 current weight 159. As you seen in one of my posts I had a slip up too with sweets. Been excercising at the 3-5 days a week. 3-5 miles bike/treadmill then 20 mins of working arms/legs. I have been losing slowly. I just got over a two week stall! I too feel great. Have an unlimited amount of energy as well!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spirit Fire 115 Posted April 24, 2012 I was sleeved March 21. Weight when I started this journey in October 2011 -- 298; Weight day of surgery 248; Current weight 229. I've been true to the Diet Phases (Clear liquids, Full Liquids, Puree, etc.) I have been walking 2-3 miles 5 days a week. A bit frustrated that I lost approximately 10 lbs each month prior to surgery and then a pound a day for the first two weeks, but only lost 5 lbs in weeks 3-4. I feel good but needed 3 solid weeks to build up my energy. I am craving salads and broccoli! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hip2bfit 3 Posted April 24, 2012 Hi! I was sleeved 3/20. I am down 40lbs!! The scale has not moved for just about 7 days! I'm pretty bummed about the stall but everything else is great!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
desert19 93 Posted April 24, 2012 I was sleeved on 3/16. Doing really well, but also went through the plateau. I added a little bit of extra Protein and boy did that stall break - I lost 6 lbs last week. Down a total of 31.5 lbs. Unfortunately with all my walking an old injury flared up, so I have temorarily had to cut back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
diochick 40 Posted April 24, 2012 Sleeved 3/12, weight the day of surgery: 271, current weight: 239! Woohoo! I've had numerous stalls, and due to my work schedule have had difficulty exercising daily, but I'm quite pleased with the results thus far. (and the numerous compliments from my husband and mother in law) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wonderwoman 7 Posted April 25, 2012 Hi all! I was sleeved March 12th. Was initially 240, Before surgery I was 228 and am now 197, so 31 lbs since surgery. While I am super excited to be below 200lbs for the first time in years, I am stuck on my second stall as well. I have heard that increasing protien can help break a stall but honestly eating is so much work (haha who would have ever thought I would say that) that I'm not sure at this time I can eat anymore. I'm just trying to stay positive and know that eventually it will pass... I hope Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kenbr14 12 Posted April 25, 2012 Was sleeved March 1 and I am down 50 lbs. I have officially entered my first stall and have been same weight for last week and half. I expected it so it does not bother me. Otherwise I am eating almost everything and enjoying my new life. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I thought I was doing good until I read your post. Lol! I started at 243.6, surgery weighed 231.6 (on 3/13/12) and now 208. Here I was thinking I was a fast loser, but at only 23.6 lbs lost in 6 weeks I guess the jokes on me. Ha! I hit a stall 9 days out and stayed there for 2 weeks. I guess all things considered I'm still pretty proud of myself. Wonder woman, you are a true wonder. Any tips you want to share? You are doing so great. Congrats to all the March losers (including me)! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
