ali v 4 Posted September 12, 2013 Thanks to all the slow losers posting. I welcomed the encouragement. Feels good to know we're not alone. I do however encourage all the slow losers to keep posting so we can band together or maybe even start a new thread to keep encouraging each other! It's great that everyone's losing and I hope everyone keeps their chins up. To infinity and beyond! I was sleeved on may 20. Down 36 lbs. I too get discouraged when I see people posting that they are down over 50 lbs.... But I agree that I haven't been 182 in YEARS!! I hope the road ahead continues to go down for all of us!!!

musiclover 61 Posted September 12, 2013 I was sleeved on may 20. Down 36 lbs. I too get discouraged when I see people posting that they are down over 50 lbs.... But I agree that I haven't been 182 in YEARS!! I hope the road ahead continues to go down for all of us!!! Well done on losing 36lbs great job! I've just managed to crawl to 40 lost lol! We may be tilting our sleeve rather than rocking it but it's great to lose weight no matter how and lets face it it's still a lot faster than we could have done without surgery ! GO SLOW LOSERS!! 1 ali v reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SleevePrincess13 2 Posted September 12, 2013 I was sleeved on May 8th. HW: 237 SW: 229 CW: 182 (4 months out) Down 55 lbs from HW & 47 lbs down from SW. I'm also so excited to be so close to 170 lbs which is the weight listed on my Drivers license. O_O I look forward to the day that I can say I weigh less than what my license states. ) GW: 130 (52 lbs away) ) I workout 6 days a week. I have a Protein shake in the morning almost daily and I also drink my 64 oz of Water daily. I go on runs 3-4 times a week. I go to the gym the days I don't go for runs. I do feel like I am losing a little slower than others but I'll take any weight loss. I have stalled before but I try not to let it get to me. I just keep pushing harder. Remember it's always better to be a "slow" loser. It'll give you time to work on toning your body. Keep up the great work May Sleeevers!! Remember we have come a long way. 2 Blessedfun and Redwillow13 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jessicar13 12 Posted September 15, 2013 In down 60 pounds since May 20 th, but I got a strep virus in my lungs and had double pneumonia followed by a fractured rib. I was in ICU for 3 days and in the hospital for 8. I didn't eat much for a month because it hurt too much to swallow. So I would take slow weight loss over the pneumonia any day! The good news is I'm feeling much better now, except that fractured ribs likes to bug me when I am working out. 1 Blessedfun reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Autumnlover 5 Posted September 18, 2013 Thanks to all the slow losers posting. I welcomed the encouragement. Feels good to know we're not alone. I do however encourage all the slow losers to keep posting so we can band together or maybe even start a new thread to keep encouraging each other! It's great that everyone's losing and I hope everyone keeps their chins up. To infinity and beyond! I feel the same way. It sometimes gets very discouraging to read all of the really awesome results others have had...though I am SO happy for them all. I was sleeved on May 22, and I am down 35 pounds. Not a lot, but I know it's way more than I could have done on my own. I'm currently in the midst of a stall, but I'm hopeful that it will end soon and I will see the scale going down once again.

mgmccleary 13 Posted September 18, 2013 When I went and saw my BS for my 3 month, he said you are doing way better than most people! You've lost 50lbs, that's incredible, you are eating well, exercising and look great, I can't ask for anything more. I asked him why I was losing so much slower than people on the threads, he said with some people they either have more to lose, so lose it faster, or didn't have good eating habits before. He said you didn't eat bad, you just ate too much. It made me feel better, and made me remember that we are all different and I shouldn't get so discouraged. Just thought I'd share. 1 slikchik10 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
k8ee 131 Posted September 18, 2013 I saw my BS yesterday and they pretty much told me the same thing too. I still suffer from "fat brain" and they were trying to convince me that I will keep losing weight and I'm going well. They even wanted to print out my weight loss graph to keep me happy by looking at the downward trend! I told them I think I need another op. they said why. I said because I need brain surgery to remove my fat brain! They laughed. Hang on this is serious! 1 slikchik10 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was at the gym Tuesday and put it in a ponytail and for some reason I stopped at the mirror and when I looked at myself for a second I didn't recognize myself. It was freaked out. People tell me I look different but I never really believe them, but now I do. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jessicar13 12 Posted September 20, 2013 That would have been weird but fantastic all at the same time! You must be feeling good though. It was a good moment. But a as you probably know the moments go back and forth. Today I was sulking about how big my stomach still is. It's hard to not always focus on the things wrong with my body, but I am getting better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
