feb 2013 sleevers weigh in

[jacee 183]

I am 4.5 months post op Sleeved Feb 27 SW 265 (also highest weight ever) CW 205 so today I am officially halfway to goal...my comfortable weight is 145ish. People are really starting to make comments, although one comment did not thrill me " It looks like someone deflated you" lol. OK. Not exactly what I was going for. But I am happy, I can exercise more freely. All the old clothes in my closet that I used to squeeze into or couldn't get into anymore fit now or are too big. Before, I would not buy anything above a size 18 (in denial big time) but it should have been a 22. Now I wear size 16. I look in the mirror and see this thinner version of me.. and it stops me for a second, and honestly, although I lived most of my life as a skinny girl, it shocks me. Also, Its weird how you see ppl and you know they notice your weight loss and they don't say anything. Thats always awkward. Its usually other heavy girls, they don't want to acknowledge or approach the subject I guess. Anyway that's my halfway point update. Thanks for listening to me ramble on for probably too long..

It's funny I get that awkward comment or stare from other women sometimes too! But mostly it's positive excitement from others. Congratulations on your weight loss!

Starting weight 287

Surgery weight 270

Current weight 215.4

I'm 5'7'

I feel flabby and I feel like I'm getting thicker, like I'm losing muscle but gaining fat.I haven't been good at tracking my calories lately or exercising. It's been a stress full couple months. I know I'm getting enough Protein in, but never cone close to my Water goal.

Sugary 2/20/13

I'll be 5 months post op on 7/20

Starting weight: 356

Current weight: 281.2

Total lost: 74.8

I hit a stall throughout most of may and June but recently started losing again.

From last Saturday I went from 290 to 281.2 today. So 8.8 pound weight loss in a week.

I didn't have to do a pre-op diet so I didn't lose any weight before surgery.

My goal is to lose at least 5 pounds if not more each week.

Goal is to lose 25 pounds by 8/25/13
