hi heidi -- check-in: down 41 lbs, down 3 sizes, temporary (i hope) stall. feeling great. have lots of protein drinks/powder to donate to someone since they all make me feel like i have a rock in my stomach!!!

Hey Sleeve Sister!!
You are doing so awesome!! I'm so happy to hear from you!!! You are really rocking your sleeve!

I'll pass on the protein drinks..LOL! I can only tolerate Premier protein, and I try my hardest to get every bit of protein I can in my food intake. I only do shakes on the days I weight lift, just to insure I'm getting enough. I gave the protein I bought before surgery to a future Sleever who came to our support group meeting.

Good to hear from you Anne!

I'm down 37 and feeling good.................feel pretty normal again but with more energy!

 I am down 36 since surgery.  Happy with loss progress to date. Had a hard time at the beginning. Hated my sleeve early on and can finally say at 11 weeks now that I LOVE MY SLEEVE!!!  

Im 34lbs down and love my sleeve- just hope it stays like this forever!

 Hi there, love this!
Im down 44 pounds from 229 to 185 and from size 16 jeans to size 12! Loving life and looking forward to being even smaller! I am exactly 12 weeks today!!! I am hoping to hit 179 by the 27th for an even 50 pound loss in my first 3 months! 

I am down 51 and feeling great, a few to many stalls but all part of the process.  My goal is to be at 135. 

I have been so inspired by the process and after almost 2 years of research I have decided to assist other who are in need of Weight Loss.  I am in the process of opening a Weight Loss Consulting Company.  I have secured 3 amazing surgical clinics who will work with my clients.

Good Luck to everyone

I would love to know what is a typical day of food for some of you? I feel a little behind and dont know if I'm eating the wrong things or too much? Iv'e been walking 2mi/day 4-5 times a week-any advise welcome-  thanks!!

Hi! I had my surgery 1/31! I am down 43 pounds but I am in a stall and it's driving me crazy!!  I try not to weigh every day, but it's so hard not to!!  I have gone down 2 sizes in jeans and the compliments are great too.  Especially from those who didn't know I had surgery.  I tell everyone though....not ashamed one bit!  I haven't had any real problems, except for I've thrown up 4 times....I found that I can't eat chicken...it doesn't like me anymore.  Hopefully that will not last forever.....I love chicken.  I can sleep all through the night (used to get up at least twice to pee) and my blood pressure is normal now - it used to be so high - they almost put me on medicine.  Lovin' my sleeve!!!!!!!   Yay to us January sista's!!  - Hugs, Kris
