I Propose We Start A Thread For June Sleevers That.....



Recommended Posts

I lost pretty fast the first week, but since has been slow. Next week will be two months from surgery and I am down around 35 lbs. Not as fast as many of you, but it is what it is. It is coming off and that is what matters.

New hope - great attitude to have! I struggle daily to remind myself NOT to compare my journey to anyone elses. Easier said than done - but a loss is a loss - great job!

HEY girl! I lost 2.4 lbs last week. Down to 298 now. So over 7 weeks I've averaged 5.8 lbs lost/week - so I CANNOT complain! These stalls in there just mess with your head bad!

How are you doing? scale still moving?

Also' date=' to anyone that cares, my ytube channel is blondeej82 - been doing vlog updates on there! :) check it out if you'd like! :)[/quote']

I'm glad to hear you are doing well, and yes those stalls are killer, and play mind games on ya! But your average is awesome !

The scales are still moving for me, I haven't hit a second stall...yet. I'm looking for it happen soon though. I'm 7 weeks out today and have lost 40lbs. That's an average of 5.71 lbs per week, which is pretty good.

We are almost EXACTLY on track with each other's weight loss! :)

I struggle with this too. As a matter of fact, I just did it after reading the 5.71 average above. It's so hard not too especially when your weight loss slows or stalls.

2 months today down 35lbs... Not as good as I hoped for but I'll take it... 11 more pounds to 299, can't wait to say goodbye to the big 3#... I'm feeling a little lost, I don't have a nutritionist that has a clue bout the surgery and the eating plans, dr. is 3 hrs away and I don't need to see him for couple months... Just wish I had some one to tell me if what I'm doing is good or bad, all info I know has come from this site.

Thought I'd revive this thread.

So far, I'm down 67lbs since surgery on 06/12. However I'm in a stall. Been fluctuating between 210 and 209 for two weeks.

So very frustrating

I feel your pain. I got down to 210 two weeks ago, then shot up to 215. Was back down to 211 today. I have lost about 55 lbs so far. Hoping it starts going back down real soon. I thought I would be in onederland by now, lol.

I hear ya on the weight loss. I started gagging on the prepared Protein Drinks I started because the powders gagged me...ugh. We need Protein to lose weight. Are you still doing protein enhancement everyday? I noticed when I stopped mine my hair started falling out more and my weight loss slowed to a snails pace. So, I ordered the unflaveored stuff in the hopes I can mix it in a glass of iced tea and get it down without gagging. It'll keep happening. Don't let the stalls discourage you. The hardest step was the surgery for me, so that is what keeps me sane and keeping on swimming as Dori says! YOU CAN DO THIS!!

Is anyone still around? If so, how are you doing now? Me: 5 foot tall Started at 215 Now: 130 Goal was 115, but I wonder how that will look... I'm pretty thin right now at 130. I have kind of large muscles and bones... I am going to take it 10 pounds at a time right now. My new goal right now is 122. I had the surgery on June 20, 2012.

      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.
