[sagreen07 5]

Same here. I get plenty of compliments and see the weight loss a little but I still feel the same lol...I'm down 2 pant sizes as well. I guess I'm ready to c a HUGE change. I've lost 50lbs, I'm at 13 was now. I feel I shouldve lost more at this point. I haven't lost any weight in 2 1/2 wks. Really discouraing

Amasd, self body image is such a strange thing. At the most drastic, you might want to talk to a counselor, but sometimes our image of ourselves will catch up to the reality. This has been the case for me in the past, but then when I've dieted in the past I would gain back to the fat girl I had in my minds eye.

I've not lost enough weight in my journey for this to be a real issue this time. My "problem" has been quite the opposite. Pre-op I would run into corners or be to big to slide past an object in my path. Now, apparently my hips are the size my mind thinks they are as I do not have these problems anymore. I've also gained much better balance. One-legged tasks are much easier of late.

Everyone is telling me how good I look but I still see the same fat girl. Idk if anyone else if feeling this way. I feel great but for some reason I dont see what everyone else is seeing. I know that there is a change cause i am almost 2 sizes down but I still just see the same fat girl. Is anyone else feeling this way?

Hi Jersey Girl,

I have lost 20 kilos since surgery at 11 weeks. I was a 24 and am now fitting in size 18's and i have an xl jumper I just bought from the NON plus section. It felt great. THank you for sharing.

Yes, definitely. To everyone else I am shrinking right before their eyes but to me when I look in the mirror I still see a blob of fat. But then I saw a pic of myself from last week and it took me a couple seconds to realize that it was me. I don't think my brain is keeping up with my body at all!

I really want to try the Chike Iced Coffee! I miss my coffee so much.

I had low potassium levels and was put on K-Tabs (potassium supplement) for two weeks. Got my levels re-tested last week and they're back to normal. Now to keep them up... Lol

I know that I am not supposed to be drinking coffee, however I do anyway. I just drink an extra Water to offset the caffeine.

My doc has allowed one cup morning coffee since week 4.

Hi All!

It's been a while for me, and I've been hard at work trying to be healthy and lose this weight. I am proud to say that as of today, I have reached -51lbs in 14 weeks. I feel so much better than before, and this was definitely the best choice I could have made.

There have been times that I thought "Why did I do this!?" but lately it's more like "I am so happy I did this!"

I still have about 100lbs to go to my goal weight, but I feel even if I come within 20lbs of that "goal" I will be ecstatic!

I hope you Sleevers are all doing well...and please keep your chins up. This isn't supposed to be EASY...but it will be so worth it!

Peace to all!
