I am going to try to post some pics later. I have lost 79 lbs from my highest. I am 5'10" and now at 184....I look good!! My face looks a bit thin, but I'm ok with it. I was having a bit of thinning hair but not too badly...and it seems to be thickening up again. I am Soooooooo happy that I had this surgery. Like, ridiculously happy. 79 lbs gone!

I am eating so much less, Mostly healthy foods, staying active. My goal is 170-175....so I am pretty close.

79 lbs gone in just a bit over 6 months!!!

I’m down 82lbs!!

Any other October sleevers trying to maintain weight at this point? What's working for you? I've started to increase complex carbs (fruit) and strength training. Waiting to see how it goes. Feeling good where I am and don't want to lose anymore.



VSG 10/11/17
HW = 360
SW = 292
GW = 220 3/7/18
CW = 205 @ 6'5"
155 pounds gone! [emoji256]

This is one of the best decisions I have ever made. i am no longer a prisoner to food, my appetite, all of it. I had mine done end of October, I am now down 83 lbs. I am fiting into shorts from years ago, into dresses and shirts and everything...it is amazing. I am fitter, more energy, I am just so very glad I did this. Of course, everyone has to evaluate their own fears/choices/etc.

But am I glad I did the VSG? Yes, i wish I did this 10 yrs ago. Also, people are opinionated and like to try to push it on others...this is why I did not tell my co-workers or really anyone except my kids and my partner.
I didn't want to hear all the comments and opinions etc.

I'm seven years post-op, lost almost 100 lbs, and I would do it again in a heartbeat. Until I was thin I never realized how much time and energy I spent thinking about food and about being fat. No more!
Dieting never got me to the healthy weight I am today. Do what's right for you, but make up your own mind. Why would your coworkers not want you get healthy as quickly as you can?

Well today I hit a milestone that I never would have dreamed possible at the beginning of this journey. I am now officially in onederland as I think it’s referred to around here. This also puts me over the 100lb mark of weight loss since surgery as well. I have actually reached a point now where I no longer have a goal weight. I am in the “healthy” or “normal” range for BMI, and my only goal now is to keep working to get my body to where I want it to be strength wise.

Wow I got on the scale today and I'm 128.6 lbs . Super excited haven't weighed myself in 2 weeks.
Started 237 lbs 4' 11
Sw 219
Cw 128.6
Gw 120

I am so impresed with everyone's progress! I have been following a lot of Dr Weiner's videos on youtube, and I am trying to think Veggie first....but veggies fill me up so fast. I am pretty happy with my progress....and.....very happy to say that for the first time in many years I am under 200 lbs!
I am 198 as of today!!
So total loss of 65 lbs. I had surgery at the end of October, I lost 10 lbs in the 2 pre-op weeks. My goal is 175-180 ( I am just a sliver under 5'10" tall) so i think this is a decent goal for me.

You look great!! I know the feeling, I still wear some bigger clothing, at times, I feel like I still should be in them....until my Mom, my daughters and friends tell me things like: "umm, those pants are too big"..."you should think about gettting a new smaller coat'...etc.
Time to shop! Congrats on your success, be Happy and Proud!!

Progress pics...last Tuesday vs last year. 67 lbs down. I work out twice a week doing pole fitness. I have a cheat day once a week. I still enjoy beer and wine.

40 lbs lost.....about 40 more to go....sleeved 10/26. Wishing I did this years ago! Hope all of you are feeling as good as I am. Just started working out again, looking forward to being fit again!

You look great! ...and those baby blues, too....Keep on going, you will break through the plateau. I know the frustration. I have also lost 60 lbs. Which is great, but I need to keep on losing. One thing that I find very motiviating is that my dress pants for work are all too loose, and I am fitting into smaller sizes that were stored in a closet. Also, my scrubs are way too loose, I need to shop for some more.
I was land-locked at 223-226 for a long time, now I am hovering at 201-202 forrevverrrrrr. But I am determined. I am 5'10" and my goal is 170. One day at a time. I am sporadic with exercise, I need more consistency in that area. Also, Water drinking. So let's make a deal, we both exercise 5-6 days a week, and drink a sh*t tom of water daily, and check back in here on March 1, and let's see if that scale might drop a little bit.

Oh, I didn't mean to lose 20-25 by March first, I meant like 2-3-4 pounds.......just getting the scale moving again. I'd like to be 195-198 by St Patty's Day, and I will absolutely allowing myself a drink that night!

I have lost a bit more than a mid-sized microwave, I am almost at a human leg.
When I hit my goal, I'll have lost a newborn calf. I just love this chart..lol
