All of my December sleevers...

You went from obese to just overweight right? That's awesome!!! Be proud!

Yeah, I guess I did...although I didn't realize that until you posted it...Thanks!

Hi all! First congrats to everyone who is improving their health-- you all rock! I just want to shout out to all my fellow slow losers and remind them enjoy their own journey. I've lost 22 lbs since my surgery on 12/17. It's a little shy of two lbs a week. I also just turned the corner from a stubborn 3 week stall. Comparatively, my loss is puny...but for me, it makes a big difference. It means my sleep apnea, blood sugar, blood pressure and ability to be active are all better. I will reach goal. It may take me a full year or even two...but baby steps are steps in the right direction.

At last check a week ago, I've lost a total of 56 pounds. I'm below 300 for the first time in a long time. I have had issues with my Iron levels and now my Vitamin D is low. Unfortunately, both make you tired, lucky me! I haven't been exercising as much as I would like to because my energy is so low some days. I'm fighting my second bad cold since surgery now, awesome. I have enough snot for 3 people. Hopefully it will pass soon.

56 lbs is great! Are you on prescription Vit D? I've been on it on and off for a few years I can never keep mine up to a normal level.

I looked... Dec 22nd! I nominate you for President of the December Sleevers. Incredible.

Wow. Congrats!

[UndercoverBariatricGal 167]

Yes ma'am and I think its because my bmi was so high. I was 350 lbs at my largest. I work out regularly and get my Protein in and stick to a lot of Soups mostly. And I snack a I'm suppose to Oooohhhhhhhhhhhh and not to mention I'm 27.

Girl you are the December sleeve hero! Lol and I believe age and High Bmi's play a big part but you are still my hero! lol great job on your loss!

Ok, this cold and fever is kicking my ass. I'm a HORRIBLE sick person. If the fever would just go down, that would be great. No more body aches too would complete the package.

I was told to just do otc. I could lose more if I consistently had energy and get more exercise in. I'm on my feet for work as a retail store manager so it's not like I just sit around.

Everyone is doing great! Congrats.

My starting weight: 332

Day of surgery: 300

Current weight: 258.5

A total of 72.2, 41.5 since surgery on 12/10.

Definitely feel like a alow loser compared to some but I'm learning to accept my journey as my own and not compare. When have I ever lost 72lbs! Let alone 41 in 3 months!

We were sleeved the same day!! And, we also have similar weight loss results...you're doing awesome!

[ashleywi 19]

I was sleeved on 12/3.

223 at first surgical consult

208 on day of surgery

168 this morning

I always feel like a slow loser and I guess I am but when I see it there in black and white, I'll take it. 40 pounds in a little more than 3 months feels pretty good. And down 55 overall feels great!

Congrats to all of you. We got this!!!

Hello Kat

I too do know What you mean about standing on your feet all day..... I am also a retail store manager..... I work crazy shifts..... So getting a consistent exercise schedule is been very difficult.... I am entering week 11. Of my post surgery.... I did enroll myself into Gold's gym last week... I am going to try to commit myself to two days a week.... I have had a lot of plateaus....this week I have been 222.2 every day ..... Even though it's very slow I still have managed to lose 42 pounds since my surgery... Presurgery I lost 32 pounds. Altogether 74 pounds

I know I should not compare my loss to anyone else, but you guys are doing great and I am barely doing okay.

I'm down only 27 pounds in 2 months. I think maybe I need to up may calories since most days I fall short of the 800 my nut said i should consume. I always get my Protein in mostly through shakes and usually get in my 60 of Water. The slow pace is allowing my skin to kind of rebound, but I was hoping for a bigger loss at the two month mark. Also, outside of a little walking I have not begun to exercise (having some issues with arthritis in my knees) but I begin physical therapy for my knees this week, hopefully that will ease some of the discomfort and allow me to exercise on a regular basis.

I have knee problems too, however I started water aerobics at least once a week, sometimes twice when work doesn't get in the way. I have arthritis and bursitis in both knees, it's not easy but the water does help
