I am 7.5 months out and have gone from a 46H to a 38G. Boobs look like saddle bags lol

I'm a year out and I know what I can't eat. Lettuce gave me a problem at 6 months been but thought I'd give it another go. I only had maybe 4 forks full and I had to stop. Took an antacid as well to help with the chest pains.

I'm now a few days short of six months postop. Down a total of 86lbs. (305 to 219).
First photo was day of surgery. I had already lost 16lbs on preop diet.
Second photo is today.
Third photo is my face at highest weight before preop diet.
My pants are size 14 (brand runs large). Top vest is a large. Undershirt is a tight medium.

Finally time for my 6 months before and after pictures.
I have lost over 90 lbs.
A week ago I completed a Nordic Walking half marathon.
I have prevented a second back surgery, and life is pretty good.
I have under 15 lbs until I have a normal BMI. I started at 42.

Weigh in today 15th Sept is 212

Almost 120 pounds lost. Need to get back in the gym and start toning.

I guess it's a NSV I kinda forgot my surgiversary. I'm 3 years post op and maintaining all of my 130 lb loss. (I do bounce up and down 4-5 lbs). Still tracking everything I eat, it keeps me in check. Walking 8 miles a day 6x a week. Completed a LBL earlier this year and getting ready for final skin removal on legs soon.
Just hope those starting this journey know if I can do it ANYONE can. I stuck to my Dr's diet very strictly making all the changes lifestyle changes. I don't deprive myself now, but splurges are now occasional instead of daily. And I love that my sleeve still really restricts me. It's hard to feel guilty about 1 small piece of pizza and I'm so grateful that I'm totally satisfied after that one piece.
Hopeful everyone is enjoying much success and while I don't post often, I'm always happy to help anyone in need. Feel free to reach out. I'm cheering you all on!!!!

Well done and Congratulations!!

I'm at about the 9 month mark since my gastric sleeve surgery!!! I've only just reached the point where I've lost 100 pounds. It's been a hard road and a lot of tears, I still hate sweating and working out and have bad days sometimes. The truth is I never want to go back and that's what keeps me motivated to keep moving. I was a size 26/28 at the begining and last week I was able to squeeze into a size 18! Which I haven't done in years. I'm so happy and I know this is still the honeymoon stage but I'm really hoping this feeling lasts!

Hi you two!! So cool to be in contact with surgery date comrades!! As far as losing those last few, you're undoubtably getting there!! Before you know it. One thing I did to lose the last 15 was alter my diet a little. I added a serving of healthy complex carbs to one meal a day, and reduced super high fats (mayo, red meat, cashews). I also started cardio 3x a week. These slight alterations let the last 15lbs fall off.
Good luck to you and I can't wait to hear your next updates!!

Not sure if we've started the first weigh in but

It took me forever to get to 100lbs so don't fret people!! I have another 38lbs to go before my 1yr Anniversary.

It's great to hear all of your updates!!
I was sleeved Oct 3, 2016. High weight 239, surgery day 219, Goal= 139. Current= 136! Feeling really good. Still hard to believe how good I feel in the mornings, and how much more I can do day to day. My next goal is to firm up. Trying to go to the gym and weight train, especially my arms and abs. Here's a cool thing- I can actually SEE the lines in my abs where there is definition. I haven't seen this since I was 12 or 13. I love it!
Tomorrow I am driving my daughter up for her 3rd year in college, and then I am traveling west to see my parents and visit some home state friends. I am actually really excited, and confidant. I had been hiding myself way in shame for soooo many years, embarrassed about the way I looked. So I guess the best thing about my 103 lb weight loss is my new health and the way I feel, and how that translates in a new confidant lifestyle.
