Almost Out Of The 300's

It's only been 17dys since my surgery and I'm so in love with my sleeve already!

I started at 346lbs and for the pre-op diet I got down to 330lbs exactly. And today I weight 310.6lbs!

11 more pounds to go and I'll be out of the 300's for good! I'm just so happy I want to scream from the roof tops!

Now I know I have a long ways to go until my goal (160lbs), but I'm so happy to get out the 300's. Hopefully I'll meet this goal by the end of the month and then I'll begin to tackle the 200's.

I just started walking a mile a day so that should help as well.

Guys this is so exciting to lose weight. My skin is better.. I sleep better.. even wake up before the alarm goes off.. and that's only with a 36lb weight loss.. I can't imagine what losing 150lbs will feel like... because this right here is fantastic!!!

We have similar stats. I was 348 the day of surgery. When I had my lapband I was about 385, but got down to about 215, then back up from there. ;) First week sleeve post-op I was down about 45 lbs IIRC, but also extremely dehydrated. Probably 18 - 20 of that was fat. I've been stalled for the last 3.5 weeks (at least)... but that happens with me.

You're going to feel amazing. I remember fondly (sigh) how I felt when I was down enough that the 100s were not just an impossible goal.

Nikki and Wheetsin, congratulations to you both!!!! It keeps getting better and better. Don't stress about the stalls! They do happen BUT you will kick butt and get through them! I am a relatively "slow loser" and have stalled throughout, especially in the begining. Often as long as 4 weeks. ( Just recenty another 4 weeks stalled and then two pounds loss.) But overall I have lost 92 pounds in 11 months - 103 since my highest!!!! I look and feel great!!! and the stalls have somehow vanished from my memory LOL. I just kept doing what I was suppose to do and felt confident in that. Congrats again to you both and keep up the good work! I look forward to reading about your progress!!!!

Congrats on the weight loss, Nikki!! You're doing great and you'll see Twoterville in no time!! That's time for a happy dance, for sure!!! :) I was 352, now at 257 and holding, waiting on my Century Club at 252, then it's coasting into Onderland for me!! :) I'm 8.5 months out and I've stalled a couple of times, but just ignore the stalls, keep working that sleeve and, before you know it, you'll be at goal!! :)

Thank you! Wow..This post seems so long ago. It's great to reflect on. I can say that I am currently almost out of the 200's. I'm 209.2 this morning so 10.2 lbs more and I will be out of the 2's :)

It's been a great ride!

      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.
