Updates anyone? I'm about to have my 6 month surgery anniversary and I am down about 67 lbs. my loss has slowed greatly. I've only lost 3 lbs in the past 6 weeks. Been feeling discouraged because I still have so far to go, and I feel it's all up to me now. I don't think I am strong enough. If I was, I wouldn't have needed wls to begin with. Sometimes I wish I would have went with the DS or RnY. Anyway, how is everyone else doing??

I'm almost 6 months out and down 57 lbs. I have hit a lot of stalls. Wishing I was a candidate for DS. Could go back later but doc says I'm doing fine with the sleeve. I can't exercise like I was b/c of back pain that is referred to my hip. Hoping to get that issue resolved soon. I'm still losing but not as fast as I would like. But slow is better than none. Still loving my sleeve. Hoping to hit my goal of under 200 before 6 month check up. Missed it in nov by 2.5 lbs. but not for lack of trying. ;).

I am coming up on my 6 month surgerversary, and I'm down 100 lbs! I still can't believe it's me when I look in the mirror! I'm so glad I had this surgery done, it has changed my life! Here are a few pics to show my progress so far, I still have 57 lbs to my goal, I have no doubt I will do it! The first 3 pics are from Feb & May 2012, 334 lbs, the last two are today, Dec 12, 234 lbs.

I am glad I had the sleeve...my sister had the RYX and had lots of complications...now she is gaining weight back. I love my sleeve. I am losing slow now but slow is better than not at all or gaining. I had a goal of 200 by Christmas but I won't hit it...but I am still losing during all the Holiday eating...so woot woot!!

I was 6 months post op on 12/11/12. I've lost 69 pounds since sleeve surgery and another 47 pre op from 2/1/12-6/11/12. I'm at 154 today at 5'4". My personal goal is between 130-140 so I've still got 14-24 pounds to go. I loose about 8-10 pounds a month. All labs have came back great at one month out, 3 months out & 6 months out. Wearing size 10 jeans that are loose & med or large tops. Knee pain has gone away. I eat about 1000 cals a day, 80-100 grams of Protein a day, drink 80 oz of liquids a day. Walk 2-4 miles a day in 30-60 minutes. Starting to go to a gym the first week of Jan 2013 Planet Fitness when it opens up then.

Life is good!!!

HEY JUNE SLEEVERS!!! :) :)

I was 6 months post-op on the 11th of Dec. I am down 94 lbs since my revision and 120 total since starting my WLS journey.

Things have slowed wayyyy down the past month or so! I've been at the same weight for quite some time. But this is normal.

I've started working out pretty hard-core the past month and a half - I am at the gym 5-6 days a week because I really want to start toning!

I love my sleeve!!

Keep up the hard work y'all!!!

Hit my 6 months on 12/12. My beginning weight was 241 and I'm down to 188.6. Weight loss has been slow, but its coming off. I feel great! I need to get into the gym more. I think the weight would fall off more. I find that I'm losing more inches than pound which is great!

I hit 6 months on 12/23/2012. I've lost 89 lbs from my highest weight and 75 lbs since surgery day. I feel like it could have been more if I had been more diligent. But c'est la vie! I'm still sooooooo happy to be where I am and not where I was! ;)

      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.
