Marla's NewLease reacted to shellbell33081 in Halfway To Goal!
I am about 3.5 months post-op. I have lost 52lbs and am down 3 pants sizes and one shirt size. This hasn't been an easy journey so far, but it definitely gets easier each day. I eat between 600-800 calories/day. I was in pretty good health before surgery and was lucky enough to not need any meds, but I certainly notice a difference in my energy levels and I just feel good all over, even mentally! I could have never had this success without the sleeve. Here are my before and after pics! For some reason they are backwards lol. My before pic is on the right :-p

Marla's NewLease reacted to M2G in 21 Month Photo Update
Well, I hate to say it but I might be *mostly* at goal. I've been the same weight for about the last 6 months now and while I'm not at my personal goal, I am extremely happy with where I've landed.
I'm definitely NOT giving up but I wouldn't be sad if I was to stay at this weight forever. That being said, I decided to go ahead and post my photos over in the BEFORE/AFTER photo thread on the General Sleeve Discussion board.
I figured I might as well share them here also. I was 21 months post-op on July 22, 2012. I'm 5'6" tall and weigh about -100lbs less than when I started this journey. Thank you sleeve!

Marla's NewLease got a reaction from Just Keep Swimming in Has Anyone Ever Regretted Having Surgery? Be Honest?
Thanks Kwlinam, we should definitely try to stay positive. These crazy hormones and emotions are boing off the walls! I know it's going to get better. Today I'm going to focus on getting my fluids in and walking.
Tracey I would love to know what the med is that would delay gallbladder problems. That would be great if you could post it after your appointment.
Thanks everyone. I love this site, all the support is great. Good luck to all of you and God Bless!
