Two years ago, I had the Sleeve.

Since then I have lost more than fifty kilos, I have gained all my confidence back, found a girlfriend, a new job and it basically transformed my life.

I have, through those two years, sometimes gained one or two kilos back when I was on holiday abroad, when it was around Christmas or my birthday, I might have had a bit of wine, even ate fries and a burger, but I've never fallen into excess again and so far could always lose the bit of weight I had taken back in a few days.
I still bike three times a week, I walk rather than taking the car/bus/metro (when it's possible to do so), I still drink a lot of water, eat healthy and follow strictly the same diet that has been working for me during two years.

One year ago today I had my surgery down 150.

Just wanted to share my most recent before/current
HW was 301lbs in July 2016, though it could have been a little more since I didn't weigh regularly.
SW: 271 (12/30/16)
CW: 185
GW: 175, then reassess.
The left picture was October 2016 at about 275 lbs while working my pre-op diet. The right was Monday at 185 lbs.

Had my sleeve 2 years ago, got reflux so had it converted to bypass last summer. Highest weight was 267, stayed pretty steady at 143-147 for the past year, I'm 5ft 8. Gone from size 2XL to Small, and my feet went from size 11 to 9!

I started running, which has been a huge help with maintenance. I love Spartan style races, they are so much fun!

Edited pictures because I'm still in the closet and paranoid!! I haven't posted pictures here before, fingers crossed nobody I know sees them!

Here's mine. Very thankful that I had the opportunity to do this surgery! Only 36 pounds to goal weight!

Yesterday was the 1 year anniversary of my surgery. Feeling great not only physically but mentally as well. Still have a way to go but the goal is within sight.

Celebrating my 1-year Sleevaversary! I can happily say I'm half the person I used to be [emoji23] sw 226, cw 108.

I hit my high school weight this week.
So I tried on the prom dress I for some inexplicable reason still had in the back of my closet.
And it fit.

I definitely need a bra at 33 (which I didn't at 18 lol) but otherwise...HELL YEAH.
ADDING IN HIGH WEIGHT FOR COMPARISON:

Three and a half years out. Consistent 100 pound loss after year one

You look amazing girl, keep up the good work!

Almost 9 months from surgery. I've lost 125lbs so far. Last time I met the nutritionist she said my goal should be around 170 so I only have 15lbs until I hit that. I plan to reassess how I feel at that weight and if I'm happy at 170 or if I want to lose more. I've taken up sewing over the last few months and customizing my clothes for my changing body is a huge help since I'm losing more in different places and don't always fit well into ready to wear clothes. I made myself the first form fitting dress ever and hopefully find somewhere to wear it soon!

Hi. It has taken a while. I had the duodenal switch in 2007. I started at 400 pounds. Got down to 265 and was stuck for years. 2015 I discovered my fitness pal and Bariatric Pal. I’m at 166 and still losing. My goal is 145 for a normal BMI. I am 5’4”

Started at 230 lbs 8/24/2015... my current weight is 160 lbs. goal is 140lbs...

I'll post a "before & during" pic since I'm four months post-op today and have about 50 lbs. left to hit my initial goal. Before picture is from January 2017, the during is from a week ago. First time I had put on decent clothes in a while, I had to run to J.C. Penney to pick up a cheap pair of slacks and dress shirt since I plan on dropping a few more sizes.

One year since I started this journey. 8 months since I was sleeved. Dropped 162 lbs. 18 lbs more to goal. Should definitely get there by Christmas.
