All of my December sleevers...



Recommended Posts

I had surgery 12/27/2012 and I am only down 45 pounds also' date=' it is really upsetting for me because my doctor's nurse keeps telling me I should be losing more. It is making me feel like I am doing something wrong, when I am doing what I am supposed to be doing. I don't know what the problem is. I am very frustrated...I only lose 4 - 5 pounds a month and it sucks.[/quote']

Look at your carb intake, I cut almost all carbs and have lost a lot of weight and inches. Never under estimate how much weight you have lost, be proud of your accomplishment!

I think you are right, I don't think I am getting in near enough Protein either, I haven't really documented it like I should be because I have been so busy at work and I decided to go back to school to get my MBA and found out I was accepted into the program at Texas A&M and start in July, so I have been a bit overwhelmed lately. I did actually weigh this morning and low and behold I was down 3 pounds, so I am now down 48 pounds. I started kicking my workouts up a notch so maybe that will help also, crossing my fingers I can get this weight loss into gear!! I do want to mention that I did actually go from a size 22 pant size to a size 16 and 14 in some, so I know that isn't something to sneeze at. I may just be too hard on myself, and letting that nurse get to me.

In 3 days i will hit my 6 months.. I had my surgery December 6th 2012 and I am so happy I did this I am down 78 pounds and counting. I still feel serious restriction even though I have no food intake limits. I just know to stay focused and continue to do what I have been doing I was really looking forward to being 80 pounds down by the 6th but my body just wont work with me lol..So I except my 78 and will continue to fight for the last few pounds to drop. Maybe in 3 days I can take off the last 2 pounds we will see..

You have done so well! Congrats on your phenomenal loss! Look at your BMI - You are no longer obese! So happy for you :) Tell me how it feels, I can only imagine, lol.

I know what you mean about the numbers, i always hope to hit certain numbers by certain dates, but I know that if we are doing all we can, then there is nothing else we can do to impact it. Our bodies can only lose so fast. But you are over 75% of the way there! How's that for a great number? Happy six months - and here's to the next few months when you will undoubtedly hit your goal!

Wow thank you so much for your words of encouragement they mean a lot to me since I am UNDERCOVER lol.. And to be honest it feels great but nothing beats seeing the photo results if it wasn't for photos I would never believe what I look like. I wish you well on your journey. And again I thank you.

I haven't updated in awhile, but here's how I'm doing...

Sleeved 12/10/12

SW: 298

Sx Weight: 282

Today: 229

I'm at 69lbs total, 53lbs since surgery. I'm slow, but lose steadily at about 1-2lbs per week. I actually like losing at this rate because it's giving me a chance to keep my skin situation in check. I'm at the gym a few days a week and about to do day 20 of the 30 Day Shred. I feel great and love that I live a normal life with regards to my eating.

Okay so, i have not lost weight in 2 mos. and June 11th will be my 6 mos out. I was in my last semester of RN school and i totally stopped going to the doc, stopped checking forums, stopped being a sleever. I am 51 lbs down and my "honeymoon" is over. I called and made a appt with my doc and dietician and joined the gym today. I want to reset my sleeve and i saw that some people go back on liquids. Does it work? and how long? Anyway, I have to get back on track. I saw some old pics last night and i saw the sadness and misery on my face. I can NEVER go back there.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
