Sleevers over 300lbs?

[sblissp 16]

I started the bariatric program in January 2013 at my highest weight of 390. I lost 60lbs and met all of the other requirements for surgery in March. Weighed 330 on surgery day and I've been in the "3-week stall" for about a week and teetering between 301-304. My surgeon gave me a goal to lose 100-120lbs in 6mos. What I have lost is my motivation to walk, so I'm trying to get my stuff together. I go back to work in a few weeks and will be sitting on my butt all day...I'm worried but also excited to be away from temptations of home food. I'm proud of my progress so far...no complications...just gotta keep on keeping on.

That's amazing! Congratulations. I'm praying/hoping that I can be that successful my first few months. I'm 2 weeks preop to date.

Im 338 and my surgery date is june 18th im wanting to lose 200

[phatdivabbw 86]

My starting weight was 448lbs. I was not required to lose any weight pre-op as I see many folks talking about. I am two years post-op and my current weight is 314lbs. My goal weight is 248lbs. Just as you have said I also see many people starting at my goal weight. Possibly when I reach my goal I will make a new goal.

Good luck sweetie.

Hit a major stall these last 6 or 8 weeks.

But not giving up!!

Yes I have hit a stall too. But you have to re-evaluate what you are doing. I come to the forums for motivation because living every day life can throw you off track. I know what I can be doing differently. I'm trying to be honest with myself. We can break this stall!

Our starting stats are nearly identical. I'm just 3 months out. I've lost 71 (28 of that preop) and a little overwhelmed with how far I have to go (although pleased with my progress). THANK YOU for sharing! I have to remember it's a marathon, not a sprint. Any advice on how you kept it coming off once it slowed down (assuming it slowed)? Did you have to decrease calories, do 5:2, increase exercise?
