Way to go! It's funny I just thought about setting some goals too because I have been hovering around 233 (down 61 pounds ) for the past month. It's sure easy to become complacent and unfocused. I want to be under 200 for my birthday - which is Dec 26. I think it's doable 11 pounds a month for the next 3 months. Thanks May sleevers for posting! Let's keep each other motivated!

My dr told me that the next three months most people will see great results but then after it slows down a lot. I asked why he said not sure but he just wanted me to know what he seen so if I can lose 30 in 3 months but me in the 250 area I can live with that when it drops to 4 pounds a month . But I think there is exception to it and I hope to be one ! :)

I haven't been super intense yet with working out so I've signed up for Krav Maga classes, first try is this week. O'lawdy I hope I don't pass-out!

Checking in.....sleeved may 22 and today down 77lbs. Feel like I've been hovering in the 70's for awhile now tho. No gains, so thankful for that! Only complaint I really have is that I'm still not tolerating meat....of any kind, shape, form or fashion. Havent been on here in awhile so not sure if others have had this problem. My staples seem to be my shakes, yogurt, nuts, and any Soup not containing Pasta or potatoes. Getting all my Vitamins in, and diligent on the Iron since the meat is a no-go. I am having dreaded Hair loss but I've been taking 10, 000 mcg of Biotin daily since a mth before surgery to prepare myself for that. So not too bad. Getting all fluids, bored with my menu, but otherwise feeling and looking GREAT :)

Awesome - so glad to see this thread!

I'm leveling, moving beyond target. My stomach is still funny about certain things and carbs are a no so....loss continues but it's slower.

Frankly, I'm sick of people's comments on the loss. Never, ever thought I'd say that. Really.

Great to see everyone checking in.congrats to all!

I'm down 60lbs- 183! So happy, I never thought this was possible. I feel great. I eat whatever I want just a bite or two and mostly focus on Protein. I graze on beef Jerky all the time. I have wine after dinner (even though it isn't advised) half a glass is all I can take. My husband says I'm a cheap date, lol.

Keep up the good work all my May sleevers!

I'm glad to see my fellow May sleevers checking in. I'm happy to be among a great group of losers. I think that my decision to have the VSG was one of the best in my life. Compared to how I was at the beginning of this year, my life is so improved. At this point I have lost a total of 91 lbs, 52 of them since the surgery. My ultimate goal is looking more and more possible, although my short term goal of reaching 150 by my birthday next week probably won't happen. I'm very happy with my results.

Checking in again. I'm down to 226. So 86 lbs from my program start weight (well over 100 from my all time high). My goal is to lose 27 by new years eve. So I can be in Onederland once 2015 begins. I think I can lose it faster. But I don't want to get cocky. LOL!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
