That is an amazing feeling.... Good for you!!!! I too find I am in a smaller size then what I was at this same weight 7 years ago. I do the samething maybe the sizes just run bigger now lol...But I think some of the weight I have is alot of lose skin... If you take all that away then I would most likly lose another 20 pounds and the sizing would be about right.

June 2, 2011 I started my pre diet on may 19, 2011 lost 19 pounds 85 since my surgery for a total of 104 in about 6 months

Congrats on such a milestone!!! i am almost there 3 more pounds.....

WOW!!!!

Thanks Meg... I am almost your neighbor I'm a Houma girl.... Thanks the complament..... you know the funniest thing was I was so scared to look older lol

Awwww thanks guys... That means alot to me...

I had my sleeve done 6/2/11. I have fought my weight all my life, not something I have ever ever been in control of. But thanks to the sleeve I have lost 94 pounds in less than 5 months. So here is a during picture lol.... I am not an after YET! But I will be because I am worth it. The one in the black was taking today. The one in the white was taken July of 2010 for my 40th birthday.

we had surgery a day a part... I am down 89 pounds total. I only did a 2 week diet before. Doesn't make you feel so young and just want to shout out to the world LOL... LOOK AT ME!!! I am guess we started around the same place too by your BMI. Good luck.

HOLY COW!!!! You look 20 years younger. You look Ahhh mazing

I was sleeved June 2 I have lost a total of 75 pounds. I am eating around 600 to 900 cal a day. I still can only eat about 1/3 to 1/2 a cup at a time depending on what it is. I seem to have alot of stalls. They normally last about 2 weeks or so. I am on one right now as I type. But once I start losing again I tend to lose about a pound a day. I still say this is the best thing I have ever done for myself. It is amazing.

About 2 1/2 weeks out. I had already lost 36 pounds (with the two weeks before the surgery diet) and it last about 2 weeks. I lost and gained the same 2 to 3 pounds over and over. One morning I weighted myself and I was down all three pounds. Then again at about week 10 or so I had another one. I was down 64 pounds. Lost and gain the same 2 pounds over and over for about 2 weeks.

I was really hungry about day 10 I mean to the point I couldn't sleep. I remember being so mad at someone for saying it was only head hunger and to deal with it. I talked to my dr and started pureed foods about a tablespoon at a time. Now I really don't get hungry. In fact if I am busy busy I will not even notice the time. I do have acid problems, I am on two meds for that. Now I am 10 weeks out and sometimes my tummy will growl and I know I need to put food in it. But most of the time I eat because I know it is time to eat. And I feel an empty feeling more than a hunger feeling. So around 2 or 3 hours I will eat one or two small squires of beef jerky and I am good until my next meal.

thanks for such a detailed post. I had my surgery june 2. Oh and I plan to use and reuse your reply... LOL thats some funny stuff right there.

You know its funny you say that because the same thing happen to me. I could see better without my glasses the first day or two. But now things are back to normal.
