I had my surgery in December 2016 and I've lost 132.6 pounds so far and I'm 8 months almost 9 months out and I'm definitely 100% already looking into plastics lol. I had very large breasts went from 52j to a 40DDD and the lose skin on my chest is already a huge problem. At the moment my stomach isn't too bad but there is a lot of visible skin there and on my arms. I won't actually get my plastics done until my weight plateaus and my surgeon gives the ok (I'm guessing 18-24 months post op?) but I'm someone who likes to plan and get an idea of costs so when I am physically ready I'll be fiscally ready as well. I'm currently 63.2 pounds away from my "weight goal" and 78.2 pounds away from my surgeons goal.

I'm so excited to hear about your progress! We started at similar weights HW 355 SW 336 CW 223 it's almost impossible to remember how things used to be

Officially one month post op, just started soft foods, loving the changes in my body. So far I have lost 50 pounds since my heaviest and 30 (29.6) pounds since my day of surgery. I went down a pants size and can now fit an airplane seat belt without needing an extender! More updates to come. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I haven't told many people either so I like posting because it's like I get a chance to talk about it. If that makes sense. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I'm still on puréed foods, but I plan on eating ketogenically once I can keep food food down. I've done a keto diet before and that's the only way of eating that myself and my boyfriend feel is actually manageable and realistic for us. Plus I play rugby year round in a woman's club, and I'm hoping with a keto diet I'll have enough energy and stamina to play! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

That's amazing congratulations! If you don't mind me asking what do your days look like? What you eat and working out wise? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Thanks everyone for your thoughtful and honest opinions! My main goal right now will just be to get out of the 300s. Hopefully I'll lose enough, if not Costa Rica isn't going anywhere Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hey guys I was sleeved 12/5 hw 350 surgery weight 333 current weight 310 and I'm 5'7. My family is planning a trip to Costa Rica mid march and while there id love to be able to go on adventure tours (zip lining, white Water rafting, horseback riding) the weight restrictions for most of these things are 275-250 pounds. Is losing 60 pounds in the next two months (75 days) an unrealistic goal? Has anyone been able to do it? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

It's so embarrassing having to ask for one. I feel like everyone is watching me. It felt so good to have to give it back to the flight attendant. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Yes girl I need all the support I can get too!!! Our dates are so close to each other. We could definitely go through this together. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I'm in Denton! And that's great we should definitely get to know each other! The first month (two week liquid diet pre and post op) I hear is the hardest part I would've loved a friend along who had gone through it before. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hi everyone. I've been posting a lot lately but I just wanted to share my very first NSV!! I travel regularly and need to use a seat belt extender while on a flight for about the past year or so. This weekend I took two flights, one on them those teeny tiny planes, and both times I didn't need a seat belt extender!!!!! The seatbelt is still a little bit snug but I'm soooo excited! I got my sleeve just two weeks ago on 12/5! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
