NOVEMBER SLEEVERS! HOW MUCH HAVE YOU LOST SINCE NOVEMBER SLEEVE SURGERY AND HOW DID YOU LOST ALL WEIGHT! Thank you

[SusieSouth 51]

Dear all,

feeling lost.

ive stalled badly last two months.

im now 241, down from surgery weight of 295. Since November I feel like I should be much less than I am. This distresses me. I know everyone's journey is different but my body is sooo stubborn I honestly don't know what to do.

i exercise 5 days a week.

but I have started to eat more. 1200 calories.

this far out please tell me what the magical number for eating is. It was so much easier in the beginning because it was so clear. I don't know right now in my journey. The number of calories, Water, Protein etc are a bit fuzzy.

please help.

@Hazel_eyez i don't know what to eat anymore....i have changed my diet and nothing changes, what is your diet ?

I'm sorry, I am barely on here anymore. I do a low carb diet with no more than 20g of carbs and I try to keep my Protein up with Protein Drinks, chicken, fish, and bison mostly. For "sugary" snack Quest bars, sugar free Jello (splenda), or kind bars. I also munch on celery, grape tomatoes, carrots, sunflower seeds, cucumbers and sometimes broccoli.

I train regularly and I see how my body has responded and changed. I'm more defined. My muscles more toned. Unfortunately some skin hanging in my belly but I'm so happy about this surgery!!! It changed my life. It's amazing to see how much attention I get again, I feel like I'm back in my30s.
WE CAN DO IT!!

Yes, lady keep it up[emoji7] I have a little extra tummy skin as well and my boobs are non-existent without a push up bra but I may get surgery for them. I will see what muscle gains can do first. [emoji1]

Sizes: (pre surgery) = size 2x and 20W pants GOOD-BYE LANE BRYANT!

(currently) = s/m and 6 pants HELLO EVERY STORE IN THE MALL!!!

I FINALLY BROKE 100 although the weight is slow.slow.slowly coming off now. I'm okay with that (most days)... I still choose Protein 1st, limit carbs, and weight train a few times a week. I don't log individual nutrients but stay mindful of popular concerns (protein, carbs, Water, fat, activity, etc).

My body doesn't seem to tolerate some things as easily as it did before - I no longer eat Pasta of any kind, have difficulty eating rice and bread is severely limited. I don't miss any of it except the sushi rolls... which I still have, just only a bite or two rather than a roll or two !!! LOL Pre-surgery I would indulge in ice cream every.single.day. I have absolutely no desire for ice cream or brownies anymore. I use vanilla Premier Protein instead of Creamer in my morning coffee...

The 2nd best decision I made was to hire a personal trainer. Besides building muscle, it's rebuilding my confidence. It's helped in becoming more social and it's holding me accountable - it's an investment I'm thankful I can make and one that addresses many areas within - physical and mental. I feel so much better in my clothes, too!

It's very encouraging to see the progress of others. I've picked up a lot of tips from these forums and find many things about them to be useful. I do however, try not to get caught up in comparing myself and my journey to everyone else. It took a good long while for that to sink in my head - not everyone moves along at the same pace. In the beginning it was sometimes discouraging for me (I'm a wee bit competitive). Hind sight, I'm where I need to be and am moving along just fine.

I.Am.Happy.

CW: 211 lbs

51 more pounds to go!

High Protein, low carb. Finally worked my daily calorie intake to 1,200 a day, and it is really making the weight drop off the past two months. For a couple of months prior to that, I couldn't get my calories above 900 a day, and as a result, I was not losing any weight.

Congratulations to everyone!

Hello everybody!!!
How are you doing?!
I was sleeved On NOV 31st. I can tell that so far i have lost 70 pounds. Still losing But muuuuch slowly. Im currently 160lbs. My goal Weight is 145lbs.

It's amazing how this surgery changed my life. If i went back on time, I would do it again in a heart beat! I wish I did it earlier.

I train 3 times a week, weightlifting n some cardio. My body is much toned. I even see now some abs. In December I'm giving myself plastics surgery as a xmas present. Tummy Tuck, breast implants and some Lipo. Can't wait any longer! I went last week to a consultation with the surgeon. He said that I'm a good candidate for a mummy makeover. I must confess that it scare the sh*t out of me just thinking of the pain but I really want to do this. I want my pre children body!!

Anyone considering plastics at this point?

I think it's too early to consider plastics, honestly. My doctor's office won't even talk to you about it until 18 months out -- that's how long it takes for any skin that's going to snap back to actually snap back.

Im not sure whether it is too early since I expect go be at my goal weight before my anniversary. I'm already in the high end of being normal weight. I have 26% fat percent which for a woman is fine. I see the skin of my tummy, oh gosh!
Anyway, I think every case is different. My doctors are ok with my Tummy Tuck and breast augmentation. Thanks for your response.
