ShapeShifter 64 Posted July 20, 2012 I have a friend who lost 200 lbs with the sleeve, stopped to have a baby, lost the minimal baby weight, and is still dropping. You can do this! 2 msvickee and 7carol3 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Willow216 91 Posted July 20, 2012 Most definately You Can Do This! My surgeons nurse lost over 250lbs in just about under 2 years after her sleeve, she is the one who convinced me not to get the Lap Band and to get the Sleeve instead. She looks Fantastic and doesn't closely resemble her pic at 300lbs. It won't happen over night but with diligence you can do this! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Catracks 865 Posted July 20, 2012 My surgeon thinks there is this 1 year magical mark where you stop losing weight. I have learned from these boards that it's just baloney. You can lose as much as you want. 1 petite-size-me! reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Foxbins 625 Posted July 21, 2012 Jimbo, on the Obesity Help forum, has lost more that 300 lbs with his sleeve. It's certainly possible if you stay focused, patient, and disciplined. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aussiegirl 580 Posted July 21, 2012 To date I have lost 147 pounds...in almost 10 months (well 10 months tommorow). It is definitely do-able and attainable. I started at 330. I have included exercise atleast 5 days a week, early on I was doing 2 gym sessions a day, i am down to mostly one a day now....I have incorporated additional exercise into my life, by walking 2 and from work and when I need to go places. I eat pretty much as I wish nowadays, and still follow alot of the rules, Protein, low carb and veggies. I do now allow myself Snacks which are less healthy. It is possible however it does require a lot of HARD work on my part. 2 weight_no_longer and ThisTimeIsIt reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
