Shape_Shifter 83 Posted July 24, 2012 It would be impossible to put into words how absolutely fabulous I am feeling. I will let my pics explain! Pre-op: 368 Today (5 months po): 358 For all the pre-sleevers, I went through days even weeks when I got so discouraged. The scale had times no matter how I stood on the scale it wouldn't move. I promise though, before you know it, it's dropping again! look beautiful...but a typo only has you loosing 10 lbs. you're in the twos now! lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

husky9273 0 Posted July 24, 2012 You look great. Can you share more about the Hair loss? I am considering the sleeve. My oldest daughter had it done around the first of the year and has lost a little more than 55 lbs I think. She has been so encouraging in my studying this procedure. I see that you shared that the sclae didn t move sometimes but you hung in there. That is great. Continue to encourge newbies like me. Its a big step. Thank you for sharing.

cmd1109 85 Posted July 25, 2012 I have gone through several different stages. I was walking about a half a mile at 2 weeks, then worked my way up to 2 miles. I was doing the 2 miles for a couple of months and then it got too hot. Not sure I am a gym person, so instead I have been going to our local pool and swimming at least an hour - 3 days a week. The pool is home to me so it doesn't even feel like a workout, even though I burn 2xs or more calories than walking. As for eating, I can have anything without upset, which is awesome! I stay away from breads or at least a lot of it. But I have also gone through stages with that too. When I was finally able to eat normally, I almost felt like I was eating too much, which lasted for a few months. I was even getting hungry. The last few weeks have been completely different, I do not feel hungry at all! I can eat maybe 2.5 ounces before I feel like I am going to pop. Which is fine by me, I was only eating because I know I needed too. I am diligent about drinking Water and have it with me at all times! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
