March Sleevers

[amchurch12000 44]

I just had my gull bladder out last Tuesday so I am on working out restrictions. I think I majorly overdid it yesterday because we went to the fair. I walked around a good 4-5 hours but I did have some funnel cake (1 bite) and a fried Oreo (one bite). I was also helping mom carry things and probably went over my weight limits. My surgeon said no treadmill incline until I am 2 weeks out so I am going to go back (or start going) to the gym the Monday I come back from vacation. I know that I cannot walk on a treadmill and have no incline, also I want to do weight things and those are a no no.

Most of the places for the eating tour I will be fine at (they are old favorites where I actually like the Protein there). Other places I am completely screwed (crapes). Honestly I don't really want a crape, its good but not worth the carbs (id rather use them elsewhere). I know next week I will also be out a lot more walking.

I think my biggest issue is yes I have is that I do not see the weight loss. I have went down to a 18 from a 24 but I do not see it. Everyone else says that they see it and only recently I have started taking measurements but they aren't showing anything.

I am in Northern Montgomery County (Gaithersburg/Rockville).

I had mine out last Monday, and went back to the gym today and did crossfit.. So you are probably ok..

I hear you I'm down to a 16 from a tight 26 and sometimes I can't see it, till I look at pics.. Keep your chin up.

You don't want crepes.. then don't eat them! YOU have a choice.

Man, I am having one of my best weight loss weeks since my surgery! 7.1 pounds this week! WOOHOO!

I think I have finally hit one-hundred land. I am hoping that it stays under 200 even with family here. I have made quite a few good choices and my uncle and his wife see a major change in me. I actually said no to garlic bread, because it wasn't worth it. I did say yes to the Pasta and martini but I am making choices. I actually have 2 days left of Pasta but ended up getting rid of 1/2-1/3 of the pasta so it is more seafood than pasta now.

Hi all, I haven't updated in awhile so I thought my recent 6 month check was a good time. I am 65 pounds down and am feeling great. I have 40 or so pounds to go so I am more than half way there even though I have been losing slowly. My meds have been cut in half and I have recently started a Pilates class. No Hair loss so far and no complications so...I am happy. I hope everyone is doing well also, we all have our highs and lows but I am so glad I made the decision to live the sleeved life!

This past month was my worst loss so far. 2 pounds.

I know... Me too... I was hoping to get to 100 lbs lost, now I'm hovering at 80 lbs, and think I might be done. Its been gradually slowing down for me. As much as I said I wouldn't make this about a number, I am so close, and I wanted to see that number on the scale I feel so much better than I did at this time last year! I have to keep reminding myself of that! This was the best decision I've ever made!

Putting it in perspective - when was the last time you lost 80 lbs in six months?? THAT IS AMAZING!! Keep your chin (not chins) up - as you said this is the best decision you have ever made. The tool will keep working for us, it just might not be as fast as we want. Great job!!

I agree, I've hit a stall that is about 6 weeks long. Down about 89 pounds, 13 more to my goal... with determination and the sight of my goal weight only about 13 pounds away... I will strive to work harder, watch what I eat and Celebrate those small milestones in my Quest to become a healthier, lighter and happier me!!! Good luck to you all, on your journeys!!! We didn't do this for the instant gratification, we did this for a lifelong desire to be better, have better and enjoy better, the smaller things in life!!!

It's CRAZY going from a hot, sweaty mess to being chilled! I went through surgical menopause 3 years ago and it's the same for me. At times hot (but not sweaty-hot), and cold at times. Doesn't seem to be a great middle ground!
