My heaviest was 322 April 15 surgery day was 305. Now I'm 290....it's been 1 month. 15lbs. Isn't as much as others but I'm following all the rules & it's better than nothing. Guess I'm a slow loser! LOL I'm glad to see there some more of us 300+ sleevers ;o)

Highest weight: 330

Surgery day: 305

Current weight: 220

I'm short, 5'4, so the weight is obvious on me, not that I could hide it...

Progressing along nicely I think. Not as fast as some, but slow and steady wins the race ;)

I'm 456 lbs right now, my heaviest was around 480. My surgery should be sometime next month, still trying to nail down the date as we're closing on a house and I need to move before the surgery.

That's a lot to have on your plate at once. Best of the best to you in both!

GIRLRFRIDAY...great, keep up the good work. Haven't made it to my stall yet since I'm such a newbie. But im sure the slow but steady will prevail in this scenario.

IVORYOWL....keep pushing that is great that you dr is trying to get you at a lower bmi early because then later it will be much easier. I know many insurance companies put restrictions on people as well. Cant wait til you post your date!

My surgeon told me he didn't want to influence my decision but he did say may good things about the sleeve so I decided and am happy with it!

      It has hit me today, as I sit in my chair at work that I don't have my belly sticking out to where it would hit the desk. Oh and I can cross my legs more comfortably. It amazes me just how much I have loss in inches vs actual pounds, I have lost 24 lbs all together. But I believe in inches all over about 3 inches. I am noticing more energy and have pep to my step. My skin is a lot clearer. My watch band is shorter by 3 notches. the little things are what I am noticing. When I bend over I don't feel out of breath or I am going to fall over ( weeble wobble). 
      I am having a hard time with my sweet tooth, it is very hard to not want to get some ice cream or chocolate. Candy I can do without. I have no craving really for that, just chocolate and ice cream. I have gone as far as taking Popsicle and putting them in my mixer with almond milk and making like ice cream with that/ sometimes I have added un-flavored protein powder. 
      I feel better everyday. The energy is great to have with having younger kids and being able to have the energy to keep up. 😃

      If anyone has any advice on how to make your stomach feel better after you eat something you shouldn't have or at too fast, I would GREATLY appreciate it!! It's painful on both sides of my abdomen (like to the point I'm doubled over and using a hot water bottle in addition to medicine) and I'm really nauseous (the thought or smell of food is 🤢).
