I'm happy to report that I'm no longer in the 300s. I have met my 1st goal, and now I'm off to my 2nd. 270 is goal, so I can ride my bike with my nephews. I cannot wait.

n0ble you look great!! Good job!! It's amazing huh??keep up the good work am now down 59 pounds I got sleeved 7/16/14

I haven't been sleeved yet, my surgery is booked for 12/29. My highest weight was 368, I had my consultation last week and I weighed in at 337. My Dr. doesn't require a pre-op diet, but I'm going to do it anyway. I'm hoping be to in the 2's and then One-derland soon enough! I love reading all the success stories!

Wow! 2 years out! I can't beleive how much has happened and how much has changed in these past 2 years! I'm still slowly losing a pound or two here and there, I've gone up a bit and then keep going down a bit. It doesn't get easier, that's for sure! I still have to watch what I eat, I still have to be mindful to go to the gym. This surgery has been a lot of things for me, it certainly hasn't been what I started thinking it would be. Everyone always talked about it being a 'tool' and it really is. There is no easy way out, there is no easy path. I can easily see myself regaining and being big again, but the love I have for my new body is incredible so everyday I wake up and keep on keeping on. Being a Mexico sleever, my Dr. never set a 'goal' for me, so I set myself at 115. I'm not sure that's realistic as I'm pretty comfortable bouncing around the low 130's, but we'll see if I get there. I'm not 'fighting' to lose anymore, I feel happy where I'm at. My real goal I kept in the back of my head is that I wanted to weigh 1/2 of my starting weight, and I do, so if I don't kick these remaining 17 lbs, I'm okay. I'm AMAZED at how relatively little loose skin I have. I have a little turkey chin, and saggy arms, legs and ladies, I have a sad flappy belly pooch and no butt to speak of, but all in all I think I'm VERY lucky as far as loose skin goes. Now that I'm more or less stable, I think I'll wait at least another year or so before doing any plastics, but really it would be for vanity purposes. I think I look amazing in clothes, and my husband doesn't mind me without All this being said, I've always been into Fairies and of course the ultimate fairy being Tinkerbell, this year I decided to go for it! The before pictures are from a plus size fashion show I did 2 weeks before my surgery, and the Tinkerbell pics are from a party I went to last night. I'm still self concious about my legs so I designed and sewed my own costume to keep them still hidden a little. I designed the wings and made them too, THAT was a chore! After losing 1/2 myself, I feel I can do anything now and haven't stopped yet! I hope this inspires some of you to keep going!!

That's the biggest reason I had my surgery too. My ultimate goal... Be healthy enough to have a healthy pregnancy and healthy baby.

I am almost out of the 300s. I'm 302 at 5wks post op. I started at 345, surgery was 324...very excited to lose and be out of the 300s. Everyone is doing great...good luck.
