I did it! Got sleeved yesterday 9/2!
Thank you for the kind words! I went to my first support group yesterday. I think it was pretty good. I plan on continuing to go. Hopefully it will help me keep my head in the game. Maybe my experiences can help others who are just beginning their journey. Been hovering around the same weight for a while now. This morning I weighed in two pounds lighter. Guess the scale isn't done yet

Lurker finally asking questions: Who did you tell?
I find myself surrounded by very supportive friends and family. I told absolutely everyone who would listen. It's a personal decision, only you know what kind of support you have from those closest to you. I encourage you to openly talk to those you love. Their concerns will be out of love for you.

Am I losing too quickly?
I started at 370 by three months I was down just over 100lbs. Everyone loses at a different pace. Keep up the good work and listen to your body. Now I'm getting close to my goal weight and things are slowing down on their own.

Any Apple watch users?
I really like mine. Don't know about the calories from weight lifting. But i like its method of tracking calories better than steps in a day. You can still get that info if you really want it. But the part I like is having it sync with myfitnesspal and being able to see my macros right from the watch. I also use a program called "round" to notify me of when I need to take my pills and vitamins.

I did it! Got sleeved yesterday 9/2!
It's been a while since I've posted. Thought I'd give an update. I've continued to go to the gym and eat within my surgeons plan. I'm down 155lbs now. Meals are getting easier as I learn more about what I can and cannot have.
