August post op sleevers: Check in

[psymom 12]

How the heck do you guys exercise?! By the time I get home from work and night class, I basically collapse on the bed?! No energy!

I have started taking no more then an hour nap then I get up a do what I need to do and go to the gym. My husband knows that if I take more then 90 minutes he will not sleep well because I will keep him up so he makes sure I am up. This helps more then I can say.

Some impressive stuff reported here. Very cool, guys!

I was sleeved August 18 and am 69 years old.

I've lost a total of 58 pounds and 39 pounds since surgery. I've lost from 235 to 177 pounds.

I'm blowing fast through all my closet right now and wearing 12s and 14s. In about ten pounds I'll have NOTHING to wear, so will buy cheap and second-hand until I get to goal at 150 pounds.

Just didn't expect this to all go so fast!

Awesomeness Galaxy Girl and VSGAnn! I am officially 3months too but I do not see my surgeon until February. I will see my Pcp on the 7th so I can see my weight.

I am super fortunate in that there is a Jazzercise studio a block away from my office and classes are offered at 11am and noon.

@@VSGAnn2014, you can also buy clothes made of stretchy material so you can wear them till you reach your goal. I plan on wearing my clothes till I reach a size 10 lol... . I wore my 18-20 till I could fit size 14. So far I have not bought new clothes. Just shopping from my closet. I bought a size 10 jeans on black Friday. People at my job are telling me I need new uniforms. I told them I have more weight to lose...hahaa...Good luck!

Galaxy girl... I've been wearing alot of yoga pants lol. I think they will get me almost to goal

[motherof5 364]

Yep, I actually took in my workout pants.Still wearing my dresses which causes me to trip often. Even my skirts are too long.It's amazing how you seem to get shorter when you lose weight but it's just the lack of fat in some areas.

Hi everyone I am just checking in seeing how all my August sleever are doing? With the holiday coming I wish each one of ya blessing and happiness for the New Year. 2015 is going to be great for us on our weight loss journey. Happy Happy Holiday Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all of ya.

[VSGAnn2014 12,992]

Down 61 pounds total, down 42 since surgery. Doing just fine. Hope everyone is plugging along nicely, too.

Happy holidays to all.

[b4real5 38]

50lbs down since surgery couldn't be happier

[FLGrammy 46]

Hit one-derland and feel fantastic, down 67#.

I have been dealing with the dreaded hair loss, seems like it is coming out by the handful. I've been taking my Biotin and getting over 100 grams of Protein daily, if it doesn't stop soon I'll be bald. Doing great with my food intake, getting between 800 and 1000 calories a day, tummy does make quite a few interesting new noises when I eat, my hubby calls it food tourettes lol. Constipation and the fear of another diverticulitis attack is still a concern. My colon resection is scheduled for 01/29/15, hope to be down another 10 by then, hopefully the stool softeners will continue to work till then.

Wishing you all a wonderful holiday season filled with family and friends, raise a glass of Water to the our new selves and the new year.

I'm wondering if I'm the only one in a "funk" at this point. Haven't dropped a pound in 4+ weeks. (Well...I have lost...up 2 down 2 a dozen times LOL)

There are moments I have tinges of regret when I realize I got this far in WW in the past. Is this it? I should also point out that if this happened to me any other time I'd say screw it and open a bag of chips. That's not happening !

My "logical" brain kicks in and says to keep with the program. This stall will break.

I've had more nsv's than I can recount. I try to focus on them, not the scale.

I'm also dealing with a bone spur in my hip. Going to PT. But wouldn't be surprised if I'll need surgery on it. I really don't want another surgery. Grr. It's holding me back.

I'm so happy for everyone's success. Hoping I can start posting more news about weight loss soon!

Later losers! :-)
