This is encouraging as I am nearing my Sleeve anniversary and I am down 115 lbs now (I think) and I would like to lose around 60+ more. I admit, at the beginning of this procedure I thought I would drop it instantly and a year out I would be at goal. It definitely takes patience.
I did join a gym to help things along, but by no means have become an exercise addict. I haven't stopped eating any particular types of food completely because I don't think that teaches me anything and I know from past dieting that if I restrict a certain food then I crave that food non-stop till I gorge myself on it.
Lately I have been a tad concerned that my tummy may have stretched as I seem to be able to get more in before the fullness begins, but I have vowed to eat slower to see if that helps.
One thing I do not do is get on the scale more than once a week (most of the time it's every other week) and I am not letting myself be obsessed with the numbers.
Things are going in the right direction for me. As long as that continues, then I am happy.
I don't want to be obsessed with food any more, so far I am not. I eat when I am hungry and I stop when I am full.
This was the best decision I have ever made. My only regret is that I didn't do it sooner.
