I had an awesome real life victory this week. For the first time in two years I didn't need a seat belt extender on an airplane and the tray didn't hit my belly. I'm down 60 pounds and traveling was actually fun. I even made it up the hills of San Francisco without falling over!!!!

That is awesome!!

Sleeved may 22. I am down 60 lbs (56% of my excess body weight). My surgeon is so happy with my results! I am beyond thrilled.

Congrats! You look great! Do you exercise alot? Keep under a certain number of calories? Please share what you have been doing. I am a month out and have already stalled <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' /> 60 pounds in 3 months is awesome!

No, I haven't really exercised yet. I am starting to soon. My surgeon didn't want me to doing too much because of internal stitches. I am not keeping under a certain calories. I just still eat really really tiny. I have a hard time eating so 2 bites is about all I ever get. No secret just pure post surgery success. I stalled from time to time. You will lose the weight just don't eat too much and workout if your allowed.

3 months post op! Went from 231 to 171, which is 56% of my excess body weight. My surgeon is ecstatic and so am I!! The after picture was taken two days ago! Oh and did I mention I now where an 8!!!!

3 months checkup - down 63!!! Whoooo Hooooo! Let's get it!!! Blessings!

That's amazing!

Week 1: down 2 lbs.

Cw: 188

Labor Day challenge weight:185

I am 7 week post op and I have thrown up after eating meat multiple times. It feels pretty much the same. The only major difference is what comes up (besides bits of food) is a white spit looking bike. That is the gross thing. It's foamy and makes you want to throw up more. Other than that it's the exact same!

I take Effexor XR and do great!

People are stupid! Don't let him get to you. At 4 weeks out I had lost 20 lbs and 2 pant sizes. I went to see my boyfriends mom and she looked at me and said "well you look the exact same." I was soooo pissed and upset. I cried the whole way home and was yelling at her in my head (she is an extremely heavy woman to top it off). I finally realized she has always been catty. I let it go, and I continued to lose. She told me on Fourth of July ( i had lost 38 lbs 4 pant and shirt sizes) that I'm "starting" to look good. Ugh!

Some people just don't understand how hurtful they can be. I'm sure you look amazing! Don't let others bring you down! You should be on cloud 9!

I definitely want in!

Dr. Zogarflokis he is out of Akron city. He removed my band. So he was familiar with my history.

July had been cancelled?

If you don't mind? I went to Mexico for my sleeve but would love the added support.

Yes I will look into it!

Are there any support groups in Canton?

There is support groups at akron general for those who had bariatric surgery. I don't think you had to be a patient there though. I can check if you want!
