It WAS really steady, 8-12lbs a month till I hit 6months. I've been eating low carb, totally on my plan...but I'm just stuck. Actually stuck at 234 for 2 months. It's so frustrating! I know I need to do more workouts/weight training.

Wow! Linzlou2000! We have similar start weight and body shape. I am just starting this journey (although docs are expecting an Oct surgery date) and I hope to be as successful as you. What was the rate of loss for you? Start slow or fast? Any major stalls? Any funky stuff you want to share about the Sleeve?

I'm still considering bypass or sleeve.

Thanks!

I did lose some before surgery. Here is what I keep in my phone and you can see my rate. Another member shared her progress and laid it out like this and I loved it. Progress:

October (252) - November (232): -20

November (232) - December (222): -10

December (222) - January (214): -8

January (214) - February (203): -11

February (203) - March (191): -12

March (191) - April (183): -8

April (183) - May (175): -8

I track from the 19-18 of each month since that was my surgery date.

I have had stalls and it stresses me out. However, when you look at the month as a whole I've been pretty steady. Things are getting harder. I track and work out 2-4 times a week. I have had ZERO problems with the Sleeve. If anything, I wish I had a little more restriction. It is a huge mental game, but I'm going to win. I started at a 22-24. I now fit comfortable in 14 and am starting to buy 12's.

I work out 2-4 days a week. Usually the treadmill or elliptical with some strength/weights. I also try to attend one work out class a week.

I'm 5'5.

Best wishes. I'm so glad I did this!

Jenetts,

Keep us posted on your progress! How are you doing with the pre-op diet? What's your program? Are you doing sleeve or bypass?

Here is an old picture of me from 2008. I am 2 lbs away from this weight. Its been a great week of receiving compliments. Ive had so many people tell me how beautiful I am and tell me that they see that Ive lost weight. When I was this weight, I didnt get a whole lot of compliments but now this time around... I am. It really feels nice getting compliments. Im not a person that seeks attention nor will I ever be but was always the beautiful "heavy" friend that everyone loved. Now, Im the beautiful friend that everyone compliments. It's a great feeling. I will post a current picture when I have someone to take a pic of me. Im horrible at selfies. Im 40 lbs from meeting my goal weight!

      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.
