July Sleevers

[LauraTarry 25]

I am 5 weeks out and have lost 30lbs... but I had a high BMI. It seems to me like people with a higher BMI tend to lose more in the beginning than people with a lower BMI. Not sure though, everyone is different! Some people lose like 90lbs in 3-4months! I so want to be one of those people, but probably won't be! Lets just be thankful we're all losers!!! Whoop whoop!! =)~

My surgery was 7/19 and I'm down 74lbs. I'm not looking forward to any stall!!!! I've been blessed to have lost a total of 74 which includes the ten day prep diet.

Wow! That's amazing results. Are you exercising too, or is tha totally from the sleeve? Amazing job.

I was just released to excerise this week so I owe it to my new friend "the sleeve".

Dont give up girl! I hv went thru a stall (wk 3) but i ws losing inches during tht time. Ive noticed tht if i havent went to the bathrm in 3 or more days tht that makes you weigh more. (Sry I knw thts gross). But had this prob before surgury & it continues.

I ws sleeved on July 16 th & its coming off slowly. I will weigh this wk sometime to see wht I hv lost. My biggest deal is intaking fluids!

But dont give up! If you're eating less, it will come off.

I was wondering about the bathroom thing as well....I was every two days now it more like 5 to 7 days....my Doc told me that I need to get more fluids in....which that helped some. I try to walk at least two or three times a week. I just went back to work Saturday & my job is physical so maybe with the moving & lifting of the arms, & standing all day will help. Best wishes to you....I know there is hope just ready to see a big differences

Stalls will come and go...I was sleeved on July 30th. My weight was 296 when I started my 10 day pre op diet, my surgery day I was 280 and today was my one month check up and I weighed in at 252!!! I am very excited but I did have my 3 week stall where I didn't lose more than 2 lbs for almost 10 days then it just started to fall off again!! Keep at it and it will dip down again. Congrats so far everyone!!!

PS I never have taken my measurements...Should I be?

I am feeling so much better. I went in for surgery at 5' 4' date=' 203 lbs and weighed 183 this morning. I had a stall for over 2 weeks and it is my TOM so I think that is great. Best of all I am OFF my metformin and bp meds and my energy level is increasing. I will be one month out tomorrow.
