I am officially 9 months into my post op journey, and if you would have told me this time last year that I would be down from a size 20 to a size 6, I would have laughed in your face.
For everyone who is struggling with this decision, or is losing weight at a slow pace, keep your head up and let your new sleeve work for you. Don't over think things. If you slip up or fall down, pick yourself up, brush your shoulders off, and keep on truckin'.
I will not lie and say that this journey is easy, because it is very, very, hard. But believe me, if you work with your sleeve, and let your sleeve work for you, you too will find yourself in complete awe of where you'll be 9 months out from your surgery.
I wish everyone true happiness and success in their journeys, and if you are fortunate enough to find people here in the forums that will be as honest and upfront with you as some of those people that I have encountered have been with me, I promise your journey will be made just a little bit easier.

@@deedee19625 I began my journey weighing 250 exactly. As of today I weight 139. So that's a total of 111 lbs. I've actually lost a whole entire person. It's really deep when you think about it.

@Imblakes One of the things that you have to remember is that you are going to go through multiple stalls. I have been through probably 3-4 stalls, and during each one of those times I will go up and down 2-3 pounds for a couple of weeks. I would eventually move past the stall and begin losing again.
The main things for me are to be sure to get in your recommended Protein levels everyday, and make sure that you keep your Fluid levels high. When you come upon one of your stalls, change something about your intake. My doctor told me to increase my carbs a little. This will lightly shock your system into a change and you will start losing again once you decrease your carb intake again.
I wish you all the best on your journey.

You look amazing! Congrats on your weight loss!

Thanks for the positive & encouraging post. You look fabulous !!????

WOW... this is really interesting how many people are close to the same height and weight, but wear completely different sizes.

Currently...

Height: 5'4"
Weight: 149
Pants: Size 8 on the verge of size 6 (never in a million years would I have ever believed I'd be that small again)
Shirts: Medium
