(Sleeve, 18 months out on the 20th, no plastic surgery...yet, lol).

Yesterday was my 1 year surgiversary! 82lbs gone and a lifetime of happiness ahead!

I haven't posted many pictures in this thread since I am more active on the men's forum, but this is not exercise related so I thought it fitting here. I just got back from a motorcycle rally in SC/TN (the Deals Gap area). I had just an incredible time I cannot even put it adequately into words. Everything was easier and more enjoyable. I didn't hurt everywhere after a day of riding hundreds of miles around the mountains.

The before picture was from May 2013 and the recent one exactly 3 years later. Surgery was 15 months ago. Seriously the best thing I could have done for myself.

Got 32 pounds left to get to GW 180...

2 months post op. Down from 240 to 202... 

Here is my update

Some days, I still see myself as the person on the left in the mirror but am finally starting to accept that's not who I am anymore through pictures. Such a hard thing to get past mentally. Here's to being under 20 pounds from goal. Loving my sleeve! #happierandhealthier

down 137lbs in 9 months. Weight loss is sooooo much slower now, but grateful that it's still going in the right direction!

July 2014 vs Now
And a huge NSV....actually having my picture taken on vacation and NOT hating it. Looking back thru old photos I was rarely photographed. Making up for that with my son now!
When I asked him who his favorite Disney princess is.....his answer was mommy. Best weekend away ever.

2 months out. Down 63 lbs but still have a long way to go.

Me and my lady at a wedding last weekend

Starting to feel more confident with full body pics...here's a recent comparison from October of last year to this Monday. Surgery was 04/25/16 (gastric sleeve) and I'm down 48 lbs (I'm 276 this morning) and counting!

My highest weight ever was 249 lbs about 5 years ago. I lost 85lbs (pre surgery) and maintained it until I quit smoking about 2 years ago. These are my stats SINCE my regain. Surgery was earlier this year in feb.

I like to see everyone's journey; so thanx for sharing!

15 months post op and still have 22 lbs to go before goal weight (dr goal)...no regrets...best decision of my life

FIGal78 yes I'm in GA. I'm feeling ok. Bored with the first week post op diet. I get light headed when I stand or walk too long. Checked my BP and it was a little low. I also know I need more Protein. My stomach rumbles all the time and I miss drinking lots of ice cold Water This sipping sucks, but it's a must.
How's things with you?
