All of my December sleevers...

[DisneyBill 10]

May I ask your starting weight?

Sure, my weight the week before surgery was 369.5. I lost 22 pounds the week of liquids before surgery.

oops replied in the wrong spot. I was sleeved on Dec.5th 2012 I am down 52 lbs.

I am currently in the hospital for something going on GI. I am praying it's not a twist!!

Praying for you.

Post Op as of 12/10/12

I've lost 30lbs and I am in a stall, I think I'm in a stall because I am not drinking my Protein the whole reason I dont drink it is because the powders I have is DISGUSTING!

• Fuzzy Navel -Nectar
  
• Triple Chocolate- Five Star
  

I need Help on a good protein that is a fair price and isnt milk based or something because I HATE this protein seriously.

[Ms.AntiBand 2,984]

When I had my stalls I would just increase my Protein and kept carbs low it would kick off again loosing weight I lost all of my weight in just 4 months reach goal still loosing I lost 110 pounds in 4 months.

This is not a post for to compare ourselves too. People, especially men and women are totally different when it comes to weight loss. I agree with Richard.

Remember .. And and important reminder, this is not a race, it's a journey to a healthy lifestyle.

James, glad it was quick for you and good luck at continuing your new life style :-)

Trutein... Cinnabun and vanilla especially. The vanilla tastes like Breyers vanilla bean ice cream. They also make chocolate dipped strawberry and chocolate covered banana. very real tasting. I hate most Proteins too. Xtreme Formulations UP 2.0 is higher calorie like a Meal Replacement powder but most say it tastes even better (and is easier to get). IForce vanilla cupcake batter is also pretty good but slightly higher carb. If you want a low carb whey isolate, I like Allmax Isoflex (chocolate Peanut Butter cup).

The nectar stuff you have been trying is sickly sweet to me.

Can I ask you all a question are you including your post -op weight loss or the weight loss from your actual surgery date? Some of these losses just seem extreme....if they are from your actual surgery date . If they are from you surgery date share your secrets with the rest of the december sleevers. Feel like we must be doing something wrong.

THANK YOU!!! I was thinking the same thing... I must be doing something wrong!!

cygnusatratus, What is the brands of the products you mentioned? And wher can you get them?

[J.Cross 37]

I am talking about the weight I lost prior and post op. I lost 16 lbs before surgery, so that's 36 lbs post op. I am drinking lots of green tes and I think that is the only thing different I may be doing.

I buy all my Protein online. Depends on where I can get the best price. My trutein arrives on the 17th. I tried all their samples.< /p>

[CJsmom84 90]

Usually its all weight lost combined. Use me as an example:

Highest weight: 294.4

Day of surgery: 260.0

Current weight:239.4

Total loss of: 55lbs

When since dec 10th(day of surgery) I've lost about 21 lbs. Make it easier?

[cuteasabutton 19]

Seriously this makes more since, thanks for responding. Make a big differance on how you feel with all these huge loss numbers coming out to realize many are post surgery losses included not just post op from surgery date. Makes me feel a a bit better. Someone must have an definative answer on how to break a stall how long can they last. It's just driving me nuts! Thanks for he info on the shakes you tried the samples and they were good you say not thick like the whey shakes?

[cygnusatratus 73]

You can see from my ticker that 29 of my 51 were from the pre surgery diet. I think the better you do one the pre-op weight loss, the less "easy weight" (water / glycogen) you will lose right after surgery. Later it becomes all fat loss (hopefully not muscle or bone density!)

I Apologize I dont mean to make anyone feel like they are doing something wrong. I always use my pre-op weight as a start.

-To make me feel better (Seeing a Larger Number of weight loss)

-To include all the work I did before surgery

I think its great to do it that way!!!!

But I do apologize for making you feel that way

Thanks Jalese, I just think it help know where your starting from post op or from the you actuaL. Surgery day thanls for being so upfront appreciate it so much. How long have you heard can the stalls take?
