Still pushing on toward my goal. Loosing five pounds or less a month really blows, but at this point I have come way to far to quit now.

Sleeved 4/16

Started @ 278

Currently @ 203

I'm on the verge of comfortably fitting into a size 16 (not even a 16W). It's a very strange thing to see as I can't remember the last time I wore some of these pants. That means shopping soon!

No big problems yet. Just have days where I get super dizzy when I stand up. Started about 2 weeks ago.

Surgery date: 4/23/13

HW: 237 lbs

SW: 227 lbs

CW: 175 lbs

50 lbs to go until I reach my goal. Working with a personal trainer and I started running, because I've been losing slow and steady, while working out, I have very little excess skin. Hope all of my hard work pays off when I hit goal. I'm currently wearing size 14 pants and M/L tops. My Hair loss seems to have subsided. It was scary at first, but I think I was the only one who noticed. Thankfully, I have a lot of hair! Feeling great, motivated to get to goal!

The members of this forum have been extremely inspiring, thanks to all/keep up the hard work! I look forward to hearing about your progress :)

4/29 SW: 266, CW: 211, so down 55 pounds after five months.

Looking at all these huge losses makes me want to give up (but I can't because it's physically impossible due to the sleeve). I wouldn't mind being a slow loser if it was steady, even half a pound a week, but instead I lose in a stairstep pattern, so nothing for two or three weeks, then a couple pounds, then nothing for some more weeks, then five pounds, etc.

I just want to lose ten more pounds by my six month follow-up with the surgeon's office so it's not a failure but at this point I don't know what to do. Too many calories (800 on non-workout days but on days I work out more like 1000)? Should I stop working out five days a week so I can eat less? Or am I not eating enough calories? Carbs are under 20 four days a week, no more than 50 the other three days a week, should I eliminate the higher days? My only hope is eating more Protein, since I average 55 grams now and perhaps if I get that average up to 70 it'll help. But I'm not sure what else to tweak.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
