Hi everyone
I was sleeved on March 16
So I was a month out this past April 16
So far I've lost 23 lbs since surgery
I'm now on soft foods and I'm so glad to be one step closer to regular food. Haven't had any nausea or vomiting only thing is the constipation which my nutritionist said now eating more normal foods should help. I'm so glad I found this board you have all helped me prior to and after my sleeve.
Here are my pics so far- day prior to surgery and 1 month post op

Surgery was May 19 of 2014. I'm down over 120 pounds and loving life! I followed the rules exactly for the first 5 months. Ate what I was told to eat, walked each day, ect. Now I'm a little more relaxed with the rules. I still go to the gym a few times a week and eat small portions and try to get a lot of Protein but I'll have a beer once in a while and I do eat carbs.
This has been a long hard journey but I can't even put into words how much surgery has changed my life for the better. I can't wait to see what's in store for my future.

I just hit 100 down this week so posting updated pics.
SO freaking happy with my results.
I love looking at everyone else's pics!
You all have helped inspire me to get where I am.
Hoping to lose a few more, but pretty darn happy where I am.
I've gone from size 22 to a 10/12.
Oh - I took these before pics just before starting the pre-op diet, but I was already a few pounds down from my highest a few months prior...

Here is my most recent side x side. 4 years banded today !

Hello all! I was sleeved in August 2013. I haven't lost the pounds that I hoped to (lost 85), but I have to say that I am pretty happy with the results and have no regrets about having the sleeve.
I started running back in March and have run a 5k and was a member of a Bourbon Chase relay marathon team--I ran over 13 miles. Needless to say, I wouldn't have been able to run a mile before my sleeve-induced weight loss without feeling I was going to croak! I run 20-25 miles every week, I take a pilates class (on the reformer) and I regularly attend barre and stretching classes. I do exercise every single day.
So, am I a skinny little size 6 with a tiny butt? Nope, but I am a very fit size 10/12 and feeling pretty, pretty good! Like most people who've lost weight, I've got quite a bit of the old hanging skin on my upper arms and inner thighs. I'm having a brachioplasty (arm lift) in about a month and plan to have the thigh lift early next year. Yes, the scars will be ugly, but hanging and swinging skin is not hot either!
Here's me before and after--the before is Christmas 2012, the after is a few days ago.

I'm not done yet - but feeling good!
