I was sleeved May 14th. As of two days ago I've lost 70 lbs to 165! I feel amazing but I've only lost 7 lbs in the last month. Frustrating. However I have noticed a change in my inches. In in a size 12-14 jeans! Woo hoo. 35 lbs to go. It's a marathon not a sprint, right?

Wow! Everyone is doing fantastic! Keep up the good work! I was sleeved May 20th and am down 70lbs to 220. I Cannot freakin wait to be in onederland! (Maybe by thanksgiving?!)

I eat 5-6 times a day-Greek yogurt with pistachios and low fat cheese sticks are my staples as are eggs and chicken. In the beginning I was super crazy about weighing myself and everything that went into my mouth. I still watch everything I eat, but it's not running my life like it was. I bought a treadmill and work out 4 times a week jogging/walking 2 miles each time. I also throw in some arm excerscises to combat excess skin. I feel fantastic and haven't been this size since high school! Keep it up everyone and enjoy your successes!

Everyone is different & there is a difference from male to female.

I am now almost 5 months post of. My target calorie intake is 1,000/day. I actually get between 800 & (on crazy days) 1200. My biggest enemy is carbs. I log EVERYTHING into MyFitnessPal on my iPhone then transfer the info later in the day to my DietMinder. This way I know exactly how many carbs & Proteins I am getting & what I need to adjust for the rest of the day.

I am on oxygen 24/7 so exercising is a pain. Walking is all I do & not a lot of that. I need to get with the program & start walking regularly.

I drink a Protein Drink about 8:00am & about every 2.5 to 3 hours I eat something. I hope this helps.

Hi everyone! I wanted to check in and see how my may 20th people are doing?

WHat a journey this has been so far huh?

I hope everyone is doing well, feeling good, getting healthy, and I also want to know if you are not feeling good or have any regrets!

Share your current status:-)

For me.. I finally hit onederland today... it feels like quite an accomplishment!

Day of surgery May 20,2014 I was 296 lbs Today I was 198.8.. haven't been under 200 lbs in around 12 years!!!! Feels great

I still struggle with the emotional part of eating... food was my go to whenever I was stressed, happy, sad, or really any emotion at all, so it has been a struggle not having that "crutch"! It's hard when food isn't your best friend anymore... you have to find something else to take it's place.. for me that has been exercise.... anyone else finding that part difficult?

Best wishes!

My wife and I both got done on the 28th of May and we're both down almost 100 lbs. I'm at 95 right now and I think she's at about 90lbs lost. She's been in onederland a while now. Neither of us are quite at goal weight yet, but still losing weight so we'll surely get there. I still track everything on myfitness pal.

We're both loving it and looking great. Lots more energy and save quite a bit of money on food

Only one negative, I have had a couple of people ask me if I am sick and thats why I've lost all the weight (cancer, etc). I look healthy, hell I even tan and look great. But just such a drastic weight change that I guess some people think its impossible. I do not share that I had surgery to most people.

Hi I had my sleeve on May 31 2014 and every thing seems good minus not pooping reg or no urge to poo . But my question is has any one got queasy after eating this is new feeling before I could eat np now I feel like I just want to puke ? And I get that way if I drink a muscle milk also

[teemarie1078 165]

I actually felt quesy the other day after eating, but it really only happens if I take 1 bite too many, and never with the muscle milk...hope it eases up for you, and congrats on all your progress!
