AR40 88 Posted August 3, 2014 Sleeved May 5, down 35 lbs including preop loss. Feeling discouraged. I'm at a stall at 170, but I've also been on two long weekend mini vacations and probably not eating the best. I have been exercising consistently and calories staying around 800-900/day. I gotta get back on track just need a little motivation ... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
par1959 470 Posted August 3, 2014 My biggest problem is getting my Water in. Have never had to throw up, but eating to much or to fast is uncomfortable and has made me consider throwing up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hrhlaurie 185 Posted August 3, 2014 Sleeved May 29 and down 34 pounds since surgery, 54 total. Had a stall week 3 and now another one this week. Same weight every day for a week. I limit my carbs to under 30 per day, get in at least 60 grams of Protein and drink Water constantly. Ive lost inches and like wearing normal clothes. Right now I'm shopping in my own closet and having fun finding old/new clothes again. I don't think I'll hit onderland by my vacstion but hope to be there by the time I get home. A week of walking on the beach, snorkeling and eating fresh fish has to help! It will be weird not to weigh myself every day while I'm gone. 1 fat_free reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maxcimax 220 Posted August 8, 2014 Surgery was 5/12/14 & I'm down 45 lbs. Yay! So happy I did this. Haven't had any issues with any food I've tried. Saw my surgeon yesterday & she's happy with my progress. Tossed out all my 3x shirts but still wearing my size 24 pants but they are getting baggy. Washed all my old size 22 & 20 pants so I have pants to wear. I'm retired so I don't have to worry about work outfits. That helps with the clothing budget. Onward & downward everyone.

a.conners 15 Posted September 9, 2014 I was sleeved may 5th and am down 75lbs. I did stall for about 3 weeks, but I'm back on track now. Almost out of my 12s and headed for my next goal of fitting into my wedding dress I wore 14 years ago! I don't regret a day and I'm enjoying my new found energy and active life!

jodyjetson 72 Posted September 9, 2014 I feel like I'm stalled too bit try to focus on what's important and not get too stuck on the numbers on the scale. I guess we didn't gain it over night either. So I'm hovering around 58 pounds right now. It's hard to think maybe this is it. I'm not even half way to my goal. Hang in there May sleevers. Lots of reasons to celebrate!

Dani_elle86 20 Posted September 9, 2014 I was sleeved May 20th and am down 55lbs. I've been at a stalling point for about 3 weeks. I just keep eating my Protein and working out. I even bought a treadmill It can be defeating at times-like I thought maybe the weight would come off faster and easier-but this is marathon not a race. I'm down to a size 16 (4 sizes!!) and love how much more energy I have. I struggle getting in all my fluids daily as well, but I'm trying my best as am sure all of you are! Great job everyone and congrats on all of your successes ( scale and non scale)!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gottagonow 82 Posted September 11, 2014 Howdy! I used to literally hate, and don't hate me for it, but hate how people referred to this decision as the best decision ever. I guess it all is about life's experiences. Now, don't get me wrong, I don't feel that way, but I get it May-ers! This summer has been awesome! I never realized how few pictures I took until I started allowing myself to be in more. We'd go to shows and be invited on stage and I said, hey why not. Would not have happened before! I've just been living differently, same person, but a little louder I suppose. For reference (not comparison, please), female, 5'10," and about a size 10. The doctor asked me to be in his commercial (I'll never be that loud - not happening), but it was a feel good moment. No doubt, the surgery did more than help, but I exercise like a nut so I sometimes allow myself to be happy not for this medical procedure but also for what I did with it. Let's keep it going!
