I'm eight months out from surgery and have surpassed my initial weight loss goal. I may lose a little more. I'm trying to talk myself into maintenance but it's hard to make that transition
I'm 35 years old. Sw: 250. Cw:123. Height 5'6

At 130 lbs:
    
I've lost a bit more now. Definitely very close to the least I want weigh.

hey everyone! i had my surgery september 22, 2014. my starting weight was 322. i've lost 130 pounds since i last weighed myself, which i think was a couple weeks ago. the last time i was under 200 pounds was about 6 years ago. i now weigh in at 188!!! i cant believe im in onederland!! i feel great!

We need to have a Indy get together

My first attempt at an upload, so let's see what happens.
First set was in October, before pre-op diet and at around 229 lbs. Surgery was April 2. Second set was just now at around 169 lbs. I'm 5'2".
I still have at least 40 lbs left to lose, but it is nice to see the progress. Also nice to see my neck and collarbones again.

You guys all look amazing! I can't wait to be where I want to be! Your pictures keep me looking forward to my end goals!

went shopping today and was told I could shop in the non plus section????

I'm so excited! I started at 228.5 at my heaviest! I lost 10 pounds working with the dietitian over 6 months and another 11 pounds on the preop diet! Surgery date 1/20/15! I'm just under 4 months out and am down 60 pounds so far! I feel amazing and have my life back!!!

Im from Ft. Wayne. Had my sleeve done on April 9 at St. Vincent-Carmel, by Dr. Evanson. 39 days out and 33 lbs lost! I've been very happy with my decision, although it's not the "easy way out" by any means! This is hard work, folks! Good luck to all!

269 to 218 in 74 days, such a miracle for me!!

(And, yes I have a beer in my hand in each photo! Difference is I definitely drank the one in the before, and didn't drink the one in the after!)

anyone in indy ?

Hello BariBrothers, BariSisters, BariFamilies, and general lovers of healthy, good food. My name is Smye and I live on a small farm in the Pacific Northwest.
During both pre and post op appointments with my nutritionist, I was horrified by the suggested things I could eat once I was back to 'regular foods.' The suggestions I was given were flavorless, full of preservatives & junk, and/or otherwise reminiscent of the american 'instafoods' that are, in my opinion, a huge part of the original problems. That said, I wanted to share some of the real, whole foods I've been enjoying lately without hurting my sleeve or deviating from the dietary guidelines provided to me by my NUT. I'm down 86 lb since I started this journey on Jan 22, 2015, and loving every meal as much as, or more than, pre-op.

I've spent the last 7 years accommodating good food to meet my partner's corn, dairy, and gluten allergies without losing any of the flavor or texture with 80% of all ingredients sourced from my own small farm, so it wasn't too big of a jump to make these recipes low carb, high Protein and delicious.

Over the next few weeks I'll be posting recipes like:

Bariatric BibimBop
Pho
Pastrami Sandwich
Madras curry with fried tofu
chicken tenders with sauce
Sushi - Philadelphia rolls in particular
Personal Pizzas
Smoked cherry-glazed chicken
Barbeque-smoked chicken
Ham and cheese omlette
Pickled duck eggs
Quiche
Ham, egg & cheese sandwiches
Bari-bread
Guacamole Cheeseburgers
And many more

There's no need for food to be tasteless, uninteresting, or questionable in it's contents. If there's something you'd like to see that's not here, please PM me and I'll do my best - I also make sure to try everything myself and feed it to my executive chef neighbor before I post it to ensure it's excellent!
