Sleeved 9/20

SW : 174

CW: 157

Goal: 145

Very very slow but I keep telling myself it's because I'm close to goal. Iv been stalled for about 5 weeks though and I'm getting pretty discouraged.

Haven't posted for a while. I cannot say I'm depressed or down but I have been in a stall now for almost 3 weeks now. I keep telling myself 36 pounds off in 10 weeks is good. I was sleeved on 09/18. I look at my journey since May of this year and I've lost 62 pounds in total. I feel so much better and I've loads of energy normally but these last couple of weeks I 've felt a bit sluggish.

Maybe I'm just needing my holiday. I am going to the States in January to visit my sister in Virginia. I cannot wait. I'm hoping she sees a big difference in me when I get off the plane. I had a goal in mind but I'm not going to reach it now.

I can eat most things now although very, very small amounts. Have been out for a meal with colleagues and friends, left a lot of food on my plate, but my line to them is that I only eat half of what is on my plate. They all think I've been on a diet and can see my weight loss so haven't quizzed me too much. Only 4 people know about my WLS. My sister, my son and my 2 best friends. And of course, everybody here!

I'll just keep plodding on, fingers crossed, my stall will end soon!

Hi everyone! Just passed the 3 month mark and feeling pretty good.

Sleeved 9/3

HW: 256

SW: 227

CW: 195

I've gone down 3 pant sizes and 2 shirt sizes. Best of all, I don't have to shop in the plus size section anymore!!!

The only foods I have a problem with are milk and anything with lots of sugar (including some fruit). Other than that, my sleeve and I get along pretty well.

This month I'm trying to get into the gym more. I'd like to be a familiar face before all the resolutionists show up in January. And besides, if I hope to lose another clothing size any time soon, I really have to tone up my arms and core

: )

I felt bad for a while but I started taking Prilosec and a good probiotic. Made a huge difference.

Hi all! Everyone is doing great!!! Go us!!!!

Surgery Date: 9/12

Surgery Weight: 278.4

Current Weight: 220.0

58.4 pounds lost! Woohoo!

As for me I really can't complain too much. Things have been coming along pretty well, no major stalls or anything. While the pounds were certainly coming off, it took a while for my sizes to start moving down. I got to go out this past weekend and buy some new clothes because the old were just looking ridiculously saggy, so that was fun. My "donate" pile of too big clothes is growing, and last night I put on a cami that used to be skin tight on me and my daughters and I had a good laugh because I literally could have worn it as a mini-dress. :-) So lots of small victories along the way. I would say my biggest and only issue is that I'm having some issues not getting enough Fiber in to keep things moving if you know what i mean. lol.
