The end of Feb I weighed 175.4, then gained about 4 pounds in 2 days./.....impossible, but it took till today to get that off. Now for more weight loss!!! Lost 8 inches in the last month though!!!

[Butterflysecrets 20]

I am so excited for my fellow sleevers!!! I am 4 months out, like most here, and have only lost 47 pounds. I have almost hit wonderland though!!! I need to be more diligent with my Protein and activity. Great job everyone.

Just an update from me. Sleeved 27 November 2012. Have lost 64lb in total since two week prior to surgery. As I'm in Aus, I use metric measurements etc, so am ecstatic that I will soon be in double figures!!!!

Start weight 137.5kg (303lb)

Today weight 108.5kg (239lb)

My new clothes are starting to get loose on me now, can't believe it, I'm so happy with my progress.

Checking in this morning I weighed at 187, my sw was 265.4 on 11-27. I'm working out, and spend about three hours at the gym, five days a week, an hour on the treadmill and do a mix of an hour of yoga, an hour of zumba or Water aerobics. Still only at about 600 calories a day, at the most I can fit in about 800. I'm burning on average about 1200 calories a day at the gym. Almost to a size 12 now!! Hip hip...

I had my 3 month f/u yesterday (it has been 4 months since surgery 11/1). I've only lost 38 so I am one of the slow losers. I have been in a fluctuating stall for a few weeks now. My dr said I can do a 2 day liquid diet to kick start my weightloss again. He said it will shock my body and get me going. He also said that I must walk everyday. It doesn't matter how fast, just to do a mile everyday. He said that is the key to keep the weightloss going. Overall he said I'm doing great.

Sw 220

Today 183

From size 18 to 12/14

BMI from 43 to 35 in 4 months

I'm happy with my results and my increased energy. And I am loving to shop now.

38lbs is a great loss I started out around the same weight as you I am short though 5'2 idk how tall you are. At my 3 month (actually 3.5) check up I was down 51 total but 43 since surgery and my surgeon was happy with my progress. I am 4.5 months out now and down 9 more lbs. The scale is going in the right direction your 38lbs will be 50lbs soon enough just keep on keepin on

Good day "losers"! I am 4 months post op and 75 lbs down and went from size 3x-4x (26/28 ) clothing to 1x (18/20). Wooohoooo!!!! Feeling great and loads of energy. Working out at least 4-5 times per week. I'm still struggling to get all my Water in, and am averaging 800-900 calories per day.

Every once in a while I get that hungry feeling. . Anybody else experiencing hunger at this stage in the game?

Hi I had sx on 11/20 and I'm a slow loser too but a loser! I started at 212# and I'm down now to 171#. My dr said since I didn't start with a lot of weight it's normal to lose it slower than others who have more weight to lose. I'm down from a size 20 to a 15...most of my weight is in my belly:-( congrats on ur weightloss!! We have to keep motivated with every lb we lose:-)

Everyone is doing wonderful!!! And so am I!!!! Today, I am ALMOST to onederland! Haven't seen Onederland for 5 years. I was there briefly with my lap band. But, my future is bright and I WILL make goal this year!

The past couple weeks have been very frustrating for me. I was eating right, started working out with my trainer 2x a week and swimming or walking 2-3x a week. I had started on progesterone cream to help with hormone balance through a nurse practitioner. Well, after almost 30 days on that, I began to feel like I was pregnant. My breasts swelled and felt tender and the scale not moving. Keep in mind, I had been tested and diagnosed that I did have an imbalance and not enough progesterone. Well, I started thinking, maybe I'm not losing because I have too much progesterone now. So, I called and she said that seems my body took to the cream a little too good. So, she told me to stop it for 2 weeks and then do half the dosage. So, since stopping a little over a week ago, I have lost 4 lbs!!! I knew that I had to be losing even though the scale was not going down. So, I may wait until May for her to test me again, because as I'm losing I am thinking that the estrogen in my body is also reducing, so it is going to be hard to keep an appropriate balance of hormones.

I thought I would share this story to also encourage some of you who may experience gain during the month due to the fluctuation of your hormones and that "time of the month". Drink all your Water and more. I was told to do half my body weight in Water every day. Can't say I always do that, but I certainly do over 64 oz a day!! My next post will be when I step into ONEDERLAND!!! Keep up the good work everyone!! We are such LOSERS....LOL!!!!!

I do get the hungry feeling at times. It's just I'm used to eating 5-6 small meals that when I can't I do sometimes feel hungry. There are days I could go all day without food or Water. Water is a struggle for me also:-( if I drink a lot then I'm low on Protein because I'm always full. It's awesome how much weight you've lost!! Congrats!! I'm a slow loser but have lost 41# since sx and 53# from my hw. Dr says I'm on track so I'm not complaining!
