Inspiring

Wow. I can’t believe how much better I feel!

Thank you 🙂 It isn’t easy but you can do it! Mind over matter. Gaining weight doesn’t happen overnight and neither does losing it. I set goals it makes it a little easier.

Thanks. I mostly eat Protein and a half a cup of vegetables everyday. I few occasions I have had fruit.

Wow, you look amazing, great job! Really, you’re such an inspiration. My surgery is a couple weeks out and I’m not really having doubts about it, more like questioning whether I can do it and follow through. I hear such horror stories about how difficult the transition is from us eating too much to not ever being able to overeat again, the restrictions and just adapting to an entirely different lifestyle. I KNOW I can do, guess I’m just scared. Like you said, I want to feel better too [emoji4] thanks for sharing!

Same, I had surgery on May 6th and I'm down over 40 lbs since surgery. Best thing I could ever do for myself!

Started two week pre-op diet April 20th had sleeve done May 8th and I'm down 50lbs and 19 inches! My knees are already thanking me!

Been waiting for this day. My BMI is now calculated as " Healthy" on the charts!! I have been in the Morbidly Obese, Obese, and Overweight categories consistently for 20 years.
Very excited and feel that I have achieved a great milestone!
Here's me playing golf for the first time in my life. I suck at it but it was fun feeling good out there.

Well I am almost 6 months out from surgery. I am 159 lbs and my goal weight is 150 lbs. I am posting updated pics just so you can see my progress. Good luck to everyone that's still working hard , including myself . First pic in black dress I wa 242 and on left side I was one week out of surgery . The other pics are recent pics of myself.

Im thinking of it as a chance to start over and do it right. Kinda like getting a new stomach that isnt all old and stretched out...and making sure we do all the right things for that never to happen again...Good luck to you....We got this!

Wednesday is the day....everything is a go. I'm getting nervous...but I am so ready to make this life change. I love my Dr....and the staff that have helped bring me to now. I find it comforting to know they will be with me through the entire journey and beyond....and will follow me for years. Praying it all goes smoothly.
Thank you fellow May sleevers for the encouragement and sharing your issues and successes. It really helps.

I'm officially on the loses bench! Got sleeved on Wed, came home from hospital the next day around 5pm.
I had a few setbacks when I was in the hospital that revolved around the pain medicine. No matter what they gave me I would start throwing up even if they gave me anti-nausea meds, so I haven't had pain medicine in about 24 hours.

I'm trying to power through without the pain meds because I want to be able to keep my liquids down which I wasn't able to do when I kept gagging.
Getting liquids in is a chore, but I'm making myself do it. Same with getting up and walking around the house.
I've never felt this tired. I can't sleep more than 2 hrs at a time, so I'm sure that's part of the problem.
I'm trying not to let the pain keep me down, I know it's only temporary.
Good luck fellow May sleevers!
