feb 2013 sleevers weigh in



Recommended Posts

Feel so left in the dust...everyone is loosing so much that was sleeved the same time as me..yet I am in stall at 47 pounds lost since being sleeved 2-27...

Don't get discouraged, my weight loss stalled and then I started losing big numbers. I felt that way after my brother in law who had wls 5 weeks earlier 90lbs in 14 weeks. 47lbs is nothing to dismiss. Have you ever lost so much in such a quick time before in your life?

Don't feel bad. I haven't hit the 40lb mark yet. I was sleeved 2/28. I used to get discouraged when i read what some have lost bu not anymore. I'm just happy to be losing. I worked with my trainer last night and its the first time in a long time that I looked in the mirror and saw a shape. My kangaroo pouch is going away.

I'm thrilled

You are doing well! If you survey "most" people who were sleeved in February, the average weight loss (today) is between 40 and 60 lbs. You are right in there! Even those who have lost less than that will experience the same results in the end!

You have actually lost 7lbs more than I have. I was sleeved on 2/28/13. Stalls are normal and happen to us all. It's just your body making sure your weight loss is gradual. If you average your weight loss, you are on your 14th week. That is 3.35lbs per week. Not bad at all.

I don't stall but only lose 1-2 lbs a week vs others who lose 7 lbs in a week and then stall for two weeks. Everyone is different. I suggest graphing your weight. I use my fitness pal. It lets me see intervals at 1, 2, and 3 months. It helps me keep it in perspective that the overall all trend line is going downward. That helps and then just looking at my thighs (with clothes on), they just look so small! If you haven't read a clothing size chart in awhile that gives me excitement, I look at the measurements for a 2x and compare it to my current size of a missy 14. Stay positive!

I am very excited. I feel like i've gotten my life back. Not only has my weight loss given me more confidence in myself' date=' oddly enough I created a new goal of saving money. I know, I know, I know those two things seem to not have anything in common but when I was bigger, I spent a lot on fast food and went out with friends and family to constantly have dinner. Now, I don't find it too fun going out to eat so I go to the park with my 9 year old son and we walk or jog all while saving money. I looked at my bank account and realized that I was spending an average of 610.00 on restaurants per month and that doesn't include groceries! So now I have made it a goal to put the money I would have been spending on food into my savings account. I am amazed at how fast it adds up. My kids are no longer allowed to ask for Mcdonalds etc. I made home made cooked meals for them everyday and I only buy what I need on that day rather than filling up a cart food of groceries.

I come to this forum because I love to hear everyone's stories. I get excited when I hear someone is about to go into surgery. Even if I don't them personally, I feel like I do. We all have something in common and can relate. :)[/quote']

Great job! I wish I was saving! All that $ is now going to new clothes!

Had my 3 month check up today. Down 64 lbs, 25 inches and 5 sizes.

Great job! My 3 month check-up is tomorrow. So far I'm down 57 lbs, though I

have been in a stall the past two weeks. Regardless, I am very pleased with the

results. I did go from a 54 waist to a 44, so I'm not complaining!

Unfortunately, I can't buy clothes right now because I don't know where I will end up weight wise. I'm 15lbs from reaching my goal weight.

I put on my size 11 jeans today. I was a size 14 before. It's only 3 sizes down but I've always had big hips and a big butt so I think that even at my target weight of 125, the smallest I will end up at will be a size 8 which is what I wore in high school and I weighed 108.

Four month surgi-versary is next week. I'm down exactly 60 lbs. I put on a pair of blue jeans the other day I have not worn in 12 years. Those are my

"maybe someday" jeans. That made me feel better than watching the scale move. As many people have noted, there will be weeks you will lose inches

instead of pounds. Either way, it's a win/win!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
