Recommended Posts

Hey sleevers! I was sleeved 8/31/2015 in NJ! My SW: 414 lbs (that becomes alot easier to say as I am losing weight, but my god was it tough to say in the beginning ) My CW: 296 and my GW (for now, this is what I set in the beginning of this journey) is 170lbs. I'd love to hear from everyone on how they are doing! (especially august sleevers!) If there is one thing ive learned through all of this, it is to take pictures! Some days I get down on myself because I have so much farther to go, but I go back to pictures and it brings me back to reality. here is my before and after picture, and Id love to see everyone elses! same shirt, 118lb difference post-262060-14580872300088_thumb.jpg

WOW! What a change. That shirt is much longer, your stomach and butt are no longer pushing out the shirt. Even your arms are smaller. I know when you were 4 months out you didn't see a change but I sure hope you can see it now. Your looking rally great!

When I started my weight loss journey I was 497. Over many years I lost down to 314 before my surgery in Jan and I didn't see the change. Now that I am down to 263 I see the change, my clothing is falling off of me and I had to take in several pants. I have not gone shopping yet as I am on disability but know I will have to soon as my blouses really can't be taken in on the top half of my body.

You keep going strong and you will get to your goal of 170 real soon and be amazed at the size clothing you will be wearing and how great you will feel.

I'm soooo proud of you! I know how hard it is as I have struggled with my weight most of my life.

I have also found pictures to be the best motivator and comforter when the scale isn't moving fast enough.

You should be so proud of yourself bc I can definitely see the difference!

Here's my before and after:

      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.
