August 2013 Roll Call



Recommended Posts

Well I have not been on here in a long time, so much going on in my life but still trying to get the weight off and keep it off.

I am currently down 79 pounds since Aug 2013. I still have a ways to go but I keep pushing. And I have to agree with other post I have read. I cant seem to get the weight to move from the places I need it to go but my waist line is flying away. I need my butt, thighs, hips, and arms to all shrink. But still its a work in progress!!!

Hi August 2013 sleevers, was peeking in to see how everyone is doing. I am now 7 months post sleeve and down 93 pounds. Unbelievable. Only 20 more pounds and I will be at my goal. It has slowed down to about 5- 7 pounds a month, wearing a size 12 feels better than a 24. I am throwing out all of my big clothes, how about you all ? Anyone finding great fun in shopping for new clothes? Except for the hair loss and elephant skin butt, I feel pretty good. I can also eat about a cup of food at a sitting. How are the rest of you doing?

I've lost 50 lbs. since august, but I've been bouncing up and down at 270 since Nov., very frustrating.

I think I'm cheating too much. I've probably been having more carbs than I should. I'm not good at exercising, either. My doctor said the weight would be harder to lose now. Time to get serious again!

Believe me, Bon, I've had stalls too. I seemed to yo yo around in December and January but really didn't lose anything. My NUT told me to switch up and eat up to 30 carbs a day for 2days and on the third day, eat up to 100. At first I had a slight gain, but then it seemed to kick in. Also, we joined a gym and started doing Water aerobics about 3 weeks ago, which has really helped. I started at 410 and now I'm 310, so I've got a long way to go and I know the next 100 will be even harder. We can do this. One meal at a time.

We really need to consider what percentage of our weight we actually lost instead of complaining about only this and only that and how slow etc etc! You may be surprised!

LI is right. I like that My Fitness Pal shows me the percent change in my body weight. Also a lot of times, weight loss is slower if you aren't really big to start with. I stared at 410.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
