Mexico Octosleevers! Add Your Name, Date And Surgeon!

[zenoosh 112]

Hey there OCTOSLEEVERS! I had surgery Oct 27, and Im down about 35 lbs since day of surgery. I had a little stall at 5 weeks, but I've lost something every week. I TRY to weigh once a week only, but sometimes that doesn't quite happen.

Im very interested to see how everyone is doing...also, I find myfitnesspal.com to be incredibly helpful to track my cals/protein/vitamins etc...

Hope everyone is doing well!

My update.....

I had surgery 10/6 and weighed in at 260. As of yesterday day, I am 220. In the past 2 months, my life has changed completely. I started my dream job, got my first F in a class, broke up with SO and then sort of reconciled (still have issues), found out my grandma may have lung cancer (results tomorrow) and I find myself not handling stress that well. I've kind off been off program, so I started the 5 day pouch test. Hope it helps get me back on track, I feel like I can eat too much.

update:

I was sleeved 10/25. As of today I have lost a total of 54 lbs. I started at 324, lost 12 pre-op, and 42 lbs. since surgery. I'm now at 270 lbs. I hit stalls at weeks 3 and 6 where I didn't lose for 7 days straight both times.

I've also started exercising. I'm not seeing the scale move as much, but I can tell clothes are fitting differently. Really wishing I had taken measurements.

I also use and recommend MFP or something similar, and log everything. The accountability factor helps a great deal.

Great idea! How are our Mexico Octosleevers faring with their losses and NSV's?!?

As for myself, I had surgery 10/27/12 with Dr Garcia. Started at 270--now down to 206.5 . So about 63 lbs down and I feel great!!

So glad to see you guys doing so well!

I was sleeved 10/15/12 with Dr. Garcia, Started at 307, down now to 220! Down 87lbs, went from a size 24 to size 14 pant and from a 3x top to a Large top, LOVING the new me! I can actually keep up with my kids and enjoy training with my husband for my first marathon on my 1 year sleeve anniversary!

Wow Chel, that's quite a loss! I was sleeved on Nov 8th (after my October surgery was cancelled due to Hurricane Sandy) and I'm down from 303 to 237, so 66 pounds.
