Down 146

Here's an update- I'm down 72lbs now & will Celebrate my 6 month "surgaversary" next week. I'm getting hardcore with lifting weights now so hopefully the inches will continue to dissipate.
I'd like to lose another 53lbs!

Surgery 2/17/14 I'm almost 5 months out
Left is 288, today I am 205... Not where I want to be but much closer than I was!

Here are my Before & Afters! I weighed 258 pounds in my before pic, and about 140 pounds in my after pic. I am 14 months post-op!  

1/2 way there! Pic on the left was taken at a company event June 2013. I have no idea what I weighed back then, but probably around my pre-op all time high of 380 in early february. I had surgery Feb 2014 at 366. Now I'm 280.

Congratulations!!! 200 lbs. is no easy task. I know you must have worked super hard to get here. I know you probably feel like a whole new person. Keep up the amazing work!

Before


Surgery Oct 7th. 2014
After 9mos post sleeve

I had PERFECT skin.. Now it's broken out... Anyone else have this happen?

I think after the first two to three weeks leveling out is normal. I'm almost four weeks and am starting to go through this too. I also am experiencing acne- I have heard that fat cells carry hormones like estrogen and due to rapid weight loss our hormones can be out of rack for awhile!

Generally the feeling that I experience when eating is as follows:
First - I start eating and the food is enjoyable.
Second - I reach a point where the food begins to taste horrible. It destroys the pleasure of the meal that I am eating. My body begins to react strangely. I might begin to sneeze, or my eyes Water or my nose drips.
Third - If I try to eat anymore, I slide into dumping syndrome where I run to the bathroom and vomit or have dry heaves, etc.
So I would say that the feeling of being full is in reality the point where my body says "Don't eat another morsel or I will punish you." And it says it loud and clear.
Also coming into play here is appetite. The beast of hunger that was always constantly gnawing at my bones before surgery is gone. And in a way it has set me free.

Ive been looking at bariatric recipes and have noticed a lot of people replace bread and carbs with won ton wrappers. I've seen them used for tacos, sandwiches and other things. Has anyone tried it! They literally have nothing in them and it's 50 calories for 3 and let's face it, we can hardly eat three of anything. Lol. Pretty much just have only Protein.
 

I had surgery April 8, 2014. I'm currently down 54 lbs in 13 weeks! I feel great!!! I hope everyone else is doing good as well. I go to my 3 month post op appt tomorrow. Sooo very excited ) looking forward to seeing the difference another 3 months makes!

Here is my before(actually just after surgery) and here I am now a year later.

My before and after:
Before, 302 pounds, size 28, after 150 pounds, size 8.
