Hell yeah. 3 years out and still 140 pounds down. It's hard work, no doubt, but counting what I eat and walking 3 to 4 times per week has kept it all off and I feel 63 going on 33. I feel better and am more fit than when I was much younger.

I reached my goal of 195 this summer and I've maintained under 200. My chief tool that has helped me is to remember to log every single meal even if I cheat. It helps me stick to my overall calorie and protein goals. I've been able to enjoy food I want while stabilizing my weight. I use Lose it but my fitness pal is good too. Good luck

I'm down 206. 6 pounds from my goal, about 130 pounds lost. Never felt better!

Surgery date 11/18, now down 101 pounds! A year ago I never would have thought this would be possible.

I think my hair loss has stopped. I'm down 96 pounds as of today, I absolutely cannot wait to hit 100 pounds!

Hi all, I'm down 83 'pounds. I have also lost about 30% of my hair. At my age I am worried that it won't return! But I am loving the weight loss...

I'm down 78 pounds and several clothing sizes. Feeling great, except for some numbness in my calves that my doctor can't identify. Going to see Captain America tonight, I do miss the popcorn but I will be taking a bag of pistachios in the shell to keep me busy...

Wow, you guys are doing great! 11/18 date for me, down 70 pounds...

What app are you using that cool tracking device I use "Lose It" It's very good. It's on Android and IOS. A lot of people use Fitness Pal and it's good too.

Here is a screen capture of a typical day of mine from the Lose it app. I'm down 63 pounds.

Guess I'm fortunate. I'm almost 3 months and I have no hunger at all. I eat when I want to, and can go 4 or 5 hours between meals and have to remind myself to eat. I'm pretty sure my sleeve is rather small...

November 18th surgery down 47 pounds. I don't walk as often as I should but still 2 to 3 times per week. One thing I've noticed is that in the last week my old psychological food issues have started to peek out, wanting to eat when I'm not really hungry, wanting to eat larger portions than the 5 ounces I can currently fit. I'm going to have to continue to work on my demons!

Congrats Soonerorlater. I was sleeved on November 18th, I had to return to the hospital due to a stricture, couldn't keep Water down without vomiting, now I'm home and on Protein shakes still (yuck) can't wait until the soft diet next week. I return to work on Monday, and as of today I am down 29 pounds since the preop diet.

I had my surgery on Monday and felt great. The next day i was released but could not hold anything down. Horrible acid. My upper GI revealed that the stomach sleeve wasn't leaking but was passing liquid very very slowly. I ended up back in the er and back in the hospital. Im still here but hope to go home tomorrow. Not an auspiscious start. Anyone else have this trouble?
