Hit 165 today. 15lbs to goal!!!!

I had to share...I hit 100 pounds today from my pre-band weight. I'm down 78 from my sleeve on 12/17/13. For those of you whose doctors say revisions don't do as well as "virgin" sleevers...I say, heck NO! I still have a ways to go, but I'm still losing it!

My comparison pic 5 months post op to 8 month post op Down -110lbs

I'm also 5'9. I've lost 106lbs . And have another 100 lbs to go. I'm currently at 270. Down from 376. That's where my doc wants me. But when I met my husband 25 yrs ago I was 185. And really liked that weight. I for sure will been skin removal Surgry. And my family Dr is already talking about me getting my breasts done. Because after this weight loss and breast feeding two babies they're so deflated. Feeling excited and more energetic.

I'm feeling pretty good also. Weight loss since Surgry may not be as fast as some but since surgery I've lost 87lbs but in the 9 months since I made my mind up and started my journey ice lost 106lbs. Not to shabby.

These are taken 7 months apart.

Hey all sleeved 12/28/12. Loving life. I've lost 76lbs since surgery. Down 4 pant sizes and haven't been this size for 24 yrs. Wow. I stall a lot but I seem to lose the most at the beginning if every month. I'm off all mess and have so much energy. I still have 118lbs to go but I know I'll get there and it doesn't seem so scary now. I just started taking my B12 I forgot all about it and it has helped me stop stalling so much. I love reading everyone's accomplishments. Great job and good work.

My 3 month surgiversary goal was to lose 60 pounds. I have one more day to lose one more pound. Hoping to see a loss tomorrow morning when I weigh in!

I've finally hit my first milestone I set for myself. I am now under 300lbs. By 2 lbs. and have lost 60lbs and 20 inches over all. Feeling pretty good. And I am joining a gym this week. Wow how my life is changing.

When you can...
I go to costco,
I still drink a "premier" shake for Breakfast 30 grams of Protein
"Kirkland premium extra lean all natural turkey burgers" 35 grams of Protein
And also trident seafoods "Alaskan salmon burgers" 20 grams of protein.

Dr. Oz said that bariatric surgery is the most under underperformed surgery. I told everyone that I was having bariatric surgery. I didn't go back to work yet. I am vary proud and happy that I did it.

I know 399 still seems like a lot but I am very happy!! I was 475 when I started this journey in September of 2012. On my date of surgery 1/28 I was 450 and as of today I am down to 399!! There were times in the beginning I didn't think this was a good idea, but I am at the point now where I am getting into a rhythm and am starting to make better choices on what I should eat. It seems I can handle almost anything in my new stomach so far with what I tried except mashed potatoes, I've tried them twice each time I get so sick. I still can't have bread, Pasta, rice, or steak for another 3 months but besides that my doctor has given the go ahead on everything else. It's still hard for me to tell when I am full due to eating to fast, but I am learning and getting better.

Make sure you are not gaining more than 2 pounds in one day. If so you should contact your Dr or the ON call Dr to see what they think. Several days of that would not be good. Stay encouraged and don't stop believing in your dream!

Ask your nutritionist. It may be the lack of Water. Water is the catalyst for so many things in our body. Hang in there!
