sleeved 12-12-2013..down 15 lbs. yahoo

[sandisleeve 563]

I'm 5'7"

Lowest adult weight (2002): 180

My highest adult weight ever (2009): 293

Lots of yo yo-ing since then but most recent stats....

October 2013: 259.8

Surg date weight (12-12-2013): about 237

(lost 22+ on my own personally devised pre-op diet)

1st follow up at surgeons office, dec20: 222 (with clothes on)

So I guess I'm down around 15+ pounds since my surgery 8 days go! No surprise due to the clear/ full liquids and diarrhea (tmi I know).

My Ultimate goal is around 170 -- surgeon thinks I can get to the 150s... Time will tell... Really don't want to get down too low as I'm large framed and like my occasional sweet treat (: I also love love love to bake!!

Sorry for the multiple posts. I thought my internet had stopped. Guess I was wrong.

I'm looking forward to the holidays this year. Sleeved 12/17/12

Highest weight 254

Pre-op surgery diet weight 244

Surgery weight 233

Today's weight 138

Went from 2x, size 24 to size medium, size 8

Best decision ever! My nutritionist doesn't want me to lose any more weight. She says I can have 1400-1500 calories per day. I was at 1200. Not sure how I can fit more food in. I still have a lot of restriction.

My anniversary date was December 17th, 2014. One year. I've only lost 64 pounds. I track everything I eat...... I have really struggled this year. I feel that I am just not losing the weight I should have lost.

I do feel much better that I did a year ago, but when I read ever ones posts, I feel like a failure.

[mariamitani 405]

Yesterday 1 year ago I was sleeved with Dr.Alvarez in Mexico! Best decision I have ever made My highest weight ever was 301 My current weight 153-158. I was 288 before my surgery so a 135 pound loss! that's a whole other person! I was a 3x in tops and size 22-24 pants Im now a small top and 6 pants yipeeee. Its all about maintaining now. Congrats to everyone else on their surgerversary.

Hi. I was sleeved 12-7-12. I don't even like to get on here anymore. I feel like a failure when I do. I was private pay which just adds insult to my injury. I've lost 64-67 lbs since my surgery. I haven't lost weight since August. I'm happier than I was at 259 but I had high hopes of being at a "normal" weight. I normally consume 12-1600 calories. I work in the oilfield so I'm active. I don't "workout". I do walk and am active all day.

I just keep telling myself that I'm healthier now, that's what's the most important.

Btw

5'10

279 highest weight.

259 day of surgery

192-95

My goal was 165

Was size 3x top and 24/26 bottoms

Now L or Xl tops and 12/14 bottoms

[marinamouse 8]

Oops I'm back gotta do a little correction. Seems I was 260. My highest wAs 279, day of surgery was 253. Oops sorry.
