I am 10 months out and I feel really good. I've lost about 67 #'s so far. I'm happy with where I am and I have enjoyed the journey along the way. I've had to change things, learn things and implement things so this journey has been very interesting and amazing. I am now jogging using c25k and it feels great. I'm loving my sleeve. KEEP MOVING FORWARD!!! at my highest weight during weightloss

I plateaued at 6 months and stayed there for about a month. I tweaked my diet a bit and the weight started coming off again. Just be patient. I was sleeved July 10, now down 62 #'s and very glad with my results.

The other day I was shopping at Goodwill and I was looking through some items and 2 older women were in the same isle. The first woman left and the second was pushing the cart so I moved closer to the clothes so that she could pass me. Well, when she passed she turned back to me and said "well, thank goodness your small" and she smiled. Can you believe someone actually called me small, WOW. I was really smiling on the inside to be called small for the first time in who knows how long. I still have about 50 #'s to lose so to be called small felt great. Here's to many more NSV's to come. KEEP MOVING FORWARD!

I have to give that a try, because I'm still not getting all my protein in everyday. Thanks for the idea.

After the shopping Friday, I cleaned my closet out Saturday. I got rid of a lot of clothes that I could no longer fit or sew to fit. I gave a lot away to ones who needed them. But man do I have so much more room in my closet, but enough shopping for now since I plan on losing another 50+ pounds. I'm excited about where I am today. And excited about where I will be in 4 months on my surgiversary in July. A Month before surgery 8 Months Post-Op

Make sure you do exactly what your Dr. tells you. Follow instructions to the letter, don't try to rush things. Please make sure you enjoy your journey, every pound lost, every inch lost and even when there's a stall, sit back and think about all you have done and enjoy.

Hi Zen, I agree with amy, it would really be uncomfortable to wear after surgery. I was told by my nurse that they didn't recommend those because of the type of surgery I had. So for this surgery you want to be as comfortable as possible to allow you stomach to heal. Hope this helps.

I have not shopped since I've had surgery because I've been sewing as I lose. But you can only sew so much. I started at a size 22/24 and I'm now 14/16 so I've sewed everything that I could and am now tired of sewing and can't take in any more material. I went to Goodwill and bought mostly size 14 skirts and a few 16's. It felt great to buy a smaller size, but since I'm not finished losing, Goodwill was a good buy. Didn't spend too much so I'm happy about that. Now to Keep Moving Forward!

Yes lifetimeloser, it has been 15 years and it feels great to be going in the right direction. So happy with my sleeve.

I have made it to onederland! I'm so excited and ready to continue my journey. Now that I'm here I have to keep going. What a motivation. I have not been at this weight for at least 15 years. All I have to say is; KEEP MOVING FORWARD!!!!

Starting weight: 200 Goal weight: 190 Lbs. left to Goal: 10

You look great. What was your starting weight?

Great job. Can't wait to get there, 7 more #'s.
