I just feel So Much Better. In all ways. sleeping better, moving better, working with a personal trainer, everything. Knees don't hurt, easy to get out of the bathtub, can tie my own shoes easily. All the things that were so awful before are so much better. I feel like a new person.

Oh, and I'm officially in the 2-teens today, which I have not seen in more than a decade. SO EXCITING. I will have a serious party when I hit the ONE hundreds, which has been more than 15 years ago, I think.

I am down 46 pounds since May 15, and feeling good. Tolerating exercise a lot better than before, able to walk around a lot more. My sleep quality is better, so I am getting by on less, and not needing to nap on weekends. Lots of improvements; hope they will continue.

Hey fellow May surgery folks! I wanted to check in and see how everyone was doing?

I am down 67lbs from my surgery on May 14! Doing incredible and feeling great. Hope everyone is happy and healthy!

Doing good I am only 15 pounds away from where doctors want me to be done losing. I have had a set back these last 8 weeks with foot surgery. I am starting back to gym now but have to be careful since I am very unbalanced. I started my journey at 250 and went into surgery at 221 I am 158 now and docs want me at 145. I just need to tone my body now. I was sleeved on 5/29

Wow @Azmassage ! You look incredible!! My surgery was on 5/22 and I'm down 75 pounds, (sw=238, cw=163)... Still a ways from my goal of 120 (43) but very happy with how my results are going! Hoping to hit my goal by end of January but that is very ambitious! Can't wait to see how others are doing!

I was sleeved on 5/22. I am down 77lbs (sw 265 - cw 188). Everything has been going good with the exception of a possible hernia. I need to work in the exercise tho.. especially hittin the weights. I've been going to support group meetings too which help.

Hi everyone! I was sleeved on 5/23...Down 64 lbs...very happy with the results. Still losing, but at a much slower rate. I have been going to the post-op support group which is great. Highly recommend it. Walking 2 miles everyday and trying to get in my 10,000 steps!

I have a question for everyone: Have you been given a maximum calorie goal and Protein goal for the day? My nutritionist still insists they don't want us counting calories or protein. I was sleeved 5/3/18 and have only lost 40 pounds since surgery. I lost 10 before surgery, so total down is 50 pounds. I've been the same weight for 7 weeks now and moving a LOT! I've been eating what I'm told to eat: protein first, then veggies. I have ff plain greek yogurt w/strawberries and Splenda for a snack as well as cashew nuts. If my husband is having French fries or something like that that's not allowed, I do have a bite, but that's not often.

I've read that this is the time I should be losing the most and losing it easily. The only thing I can think of is maybe I'm having too many calories in a day? I'm really disappointed in the nutrition/support group portion of the program I'm in. The support group meets with the nutritionist once a month and we don't really get much time to talk.

I definitely feel MUCH better and am able to do things physically I couldn't do before surgery. I'm SO happy for everyone who's doing so good!

Starting weight: 235, Surgery weight: 225, current weight: 185

I am doing fabulous! I just came back from vacation. 10 hours on a plane each way with plenty of seat belt slack!! I have lost 75lbs since starting my 2 week preop. Surgery was 5/29. I am doing great with my food intake. Water is always a struggle (it gives me acid reflux for some reason. My Surgeon is working on this with me).

I certainly do not feel like I am in any way qualified to provide anyone else with medical advice. I can share my goals however :-). I work out 4 days a week, 2 of them with a personal trainer. My goal from my team is no more than 900 calories a day. Shooting for 90 grams of Protein and less than 60 grams of carbs. My nutritionist is usually able to provide me with more details on the diet than my surgeon when I ask her :-).

My surgery was on 5/22. I had a band to sleeve revision. I have lost 52lbs. 14lbs to go. I feel much better. I haven’t been this weight in 27 years! I need to work on my Water and exercise.

[It's about Me 142]

I had my sleeve done on May 16th, 2018 my pre surgery weight was 231, my surgery weight was 205 and my current weight is 162. My surgeon says that 160 is a good weight for me, and my Primary Dr. wants we at 145. I'm in slow motion as of lately, only a pound now and then. But overall quite happy with my choices

IIm 56 pounds down 14 Lbs away from my 145 Goal . Have difficulty with Hamburg and lettuce . Best decision I made off of all my meds , went from a 16 w to size 10 loving me

[Screwballski 540]

I posted in July that I was 3 pounds from goal.
It’s October now. I moved my goal from 150lbs to 135lbs because I hit 150 in no time. Then I hit 140...and I’ve been sitting at 139-140 forever. CANNOT BREAK THIS STALL. 😁🤷🏼‍♀️
Not really all that worried. I feel great. If I hit 135, I’d likely just shoot for 130, anyway, right?1 😄
I wish everyone the happiness and health this tool has brought me.
I’m sleeping well. My diabetes is managed with out insulin. I don’t feel deprived, cravings or insatiable hunger.
Life is wonderful.
