Sleeved on 1/12/17 in NYC. Always willing to chat with and support anyone. Best decision of my life.

i am 5'4 and currently 200.0 lbs (can't wait for the weigh in tomorrow) the day of surgery 11/18/16 i was 243 (my highest)....
this is the first time i post pics...pic on the left was on my b-day 3 days before my surgery, right pic was yesterday

Best decision I've made in my life.
I'm down 75 kg (165 lb) in around 11 months and working for the last 17 kg to reach my goal weight.
A small advice to all weight stuck sleevers, GYM GYM GYM !

SW: 176.6 kg (389 lbs)
CW: 102 kg (224 lbs)
GW: 85 kg (187 lbs)

Almost 50 lbs down! Wish I would have done this sooner! Feeling so much better!
Cleared to start working out after Jan 30th. Can't wait to see the results once I get back in the gym.

It's Transformation Tuesday!! Let's see those pics!

My gas pains have gotten so much better. My incision pains have also gotten so much better too. Easier to move and breathe. Been trying to stay moving, compression socks, blood clot exercises, gas x strips, Water.
I just wanted to say this to give hope. That it was awful the first couple days but I'm feeling better. And I feel more confident that things can be great.

Yesterday 12/21 was my one month anniversary.
I'm down 35 pounds since the surgery weigh in.
Had no issues at all, no real pain and no problems outside of having to "understand" my stomach and what it can and can't do.
I'm in Stage 4 (for me that's solid food, ground turkey, etc.)
Eating slower, chewing more -- eating far less in portions has been the only challenge.
I haven't started exercising as of yet based on being on a blood thinner.
But today Is my last needle (yes, I've had to administer two needles daily) and I will start my exercise plan post X-Mas.
So far I can say this is the best decision I've made for my health and well being of my life.
I look forward to seeing more weight come off and be much more active.

So I started my journey on October 30th 2015 at 540 pounds. This is the highest I've ever been. I had to be on oxygen because I was so overweight it was pressing against my lungs.
I had to do 6 months of a supervised diet and lost 60 pounds before my surgery and had my surgery weighing 480 pounds.
I had a horrible time after surgery as some on here may remember. I was in extreme pain for 3 weeks then extreme nausea for 5 months. The nausea was so bad I didn't eat or drink for over a month and had to get a picc line and give myself infusions overnight to get my fluids and nutrients.
They removed my gallbladder in October of this year and I started to feel much better.
I now feel great and am finally starting to be able to enjoy my smaller size! I'm having fun working out at the gym and I'm starting to feel pretty and trying to date.
I now weigh 336 pounds! That's 204 pounds down from my first weigh in and 144 pounds down since my surgery May 29th 2015!
I'm so excited to be going in the right direction! I just turned 30 in November and I can't wait to finally start living my life!
Here are some before and after pictures!

5 months post op, 100 Lbs. down. Feeling great!

As I'm writing this, i see the ad for the brand I am going to recommend - powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury. My nutritionist had recommended to try it since it's what they serve in the hospital that I am going to have my surgery in. They aren't too bad. You can order both large containers and sample packets from Amazon which is convenient.
