hurley911 59 Posted July 19, 2013 Oh no I wish I was 286 way before sleeve and I had started dieting... Since surgery I've lost 74lbs too !!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mandyrenee82 59 Posted July 19, 2013 Ahh. I feel like a dummy lol. Way to go nonetheless. 74 is great for 3 months, too. Look good, keep up the great work. My weight on surgery day was 284. Now I'm 210. Goal weight is 165. I'm big boned, have a large frame. I'm 5'11. I may lower my goal weight but I don't want to look sick, if you know what I mean. My hometown already thinks I'm on crack because someone saw me home Memorial Day and I hadn't been home since Easter - right before my surgery- had lost close to 50 pounds if not more then. They told everyone I was on drugs lol. No one knows about the surgery but immediate family and hubby and they haven't told a soul. Small towns. Love em hate em. Keep up your fantastic work.

Shoota 33 Posted July 19, 2013 Sleeved April 29. Lost 58 pounds so far. My bigger fear is that I will weigh myself and not see a loss. So far so good. I am obsessed though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aries 95 Posted July 19, 2013 Sleeved April 29. Lost 58 pounds so far. My bigger fear is that I will weigh myself and not see a loss. So far so good. I am obsessed though. I'm obsessed too. I need to hide my scale. I've made it a habit to weigh in every morning it doesn't bother me if I don't see a change the next day, but if a few days go by, I start to get frustrated. Learn from my mistakes: hide your scale!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
anthoula 38 Posted July 20, 2013 Sleeved April 29. Lost 58 pounds so far. My bigger fear is that I will weigh myself and not see a loss. So far so good. I am obsessed though. I was sleeved Apr 22 and have lost 57lbs so far. I was weighing myself daily and sometimes twice a day morning and night. Speaking with my dr yesterday she suggested once a week in the am with no clothes on. She said daily or more than once a day is not an accurate reading the body fluctuates Water retention throughout the day. For accurate reading once a week. So I am trying not to look at the scale. Great progress everyone. Lets all keep up the great weight loss. 2 LanaMae and mishy102 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bridget312001 70 Posted July 23, 2013 It's funny how I used to avoid the weight scale at all costs, now I can't stay off it. Sleeved April 8 2013, down 53 lbs. A fellow bariatric surgery friend bought me a pair of size 10 jeans for my birthday and they bloody well fit me. What a fantastic birthday gift! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mandyrenee82 59 Posted July 23, 2013 Haven't weighed myself in a couple weeks. I was at 210. Might be below 200 now. I hate getting on the scale. im afraid of disappointment. I do know that I am wearing a size 14 now. That's a far cry from a 24. 3 Bridget312001, anthoula and mishy102 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gitter Dunn 39 Posted July 26, 2013 They have C25K music programs that can make the sessions not so lonely. I listen to a indie christian program so i don't have to look at my watch during my walk/jog intervals. Very cool! 1 mandyrenee82 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rootie3 29 Posted August 2, 2013 Sleeved April 17th. Starting 256#. Today 187#. Started c25k 4 Wks after surgery. Tomorrow is my first race. I chose a 2 miler.
