May sleevers! How much have you lost so far?



Recommended Posts

I am Offically out of the morbid Obese catagory just Obese at this point, BMI from 50 to 39 Surgery was May 23rd down 72 pounds

Skittle Jessi - that is wonderful news! We focus so much on weight that it is great to hear when someone hits a milestone otherwise. Congratulations! Which BMI chart do you use? I wonder if more of us are out of the morbidly obese category...

HW 278 (size 18)

SW 263

CW varies between 222 and 217 - in ANOTHER stall

I feel like such a slow loser!! My body has changed, but nothing really drastic! My pants are baggy, but I am still wearing a size 16 and can barely squeeze into a 14! When I read how well everyone else is doing and see these dramatic pictures where some of yall look completely different (although I am very happy for each one of you) I get so depressed. I have seen people that I have not seen in several months and no one notices a difference. Not sure what I am doing wrong. I feel like I am destined to be fat forever.

MystiGal - You are NOT destined to be fat forever! You have a taken a huge step toward your health and your sleeve is doing its work. I am fairly slow at losing too, but I know it will come for both of us. Don't lose faith, friend!

I was sleeved on 5/15

SW 242

Current weight 198

I feel like I am losing slow as well. It is discouraging. But one thing about the slow weight loss is no baggy skin

Have dr's apt next week, gonna ask him if I am on track or not, so I can stop worrying

TY. Just keep doing it. A steady loss is better than a fast gain any day. You will get there.

I understand how you feel...my experience has been similar, as you can see on my ticker...I am also in a stall at 217...I had very much hoped to be in Onederland by my 6-month surgiversary...I am one month away and don't think there is any chance I will lose 17 lbs in a month...but I am focusing on the positives--one being that I have lost 50 lbs and the other that my blood glucose levels have been much lower, and I am almost completely off my diabetes meds :)

hang in there and don't get too discouraged!

      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.
