After reading all the early June post op sleevers it’s making me more excited for June 14th

I just had my sleeve done on June 5th! I couldn’t be more excited for what is to come. My only concern is keeping track of Protein and Water and getting enough of each! I really have zero desire to eat, but other than that the pain is tolerable and I am getting better every day!

My 6 month surgiversary is tomorrow!! Here are a couple pics... I'm down 64 lbs since surgery.

You look amazing! If you don’t mind me asking, how did you avoid getting loose skin? I can’t even tell that you lost a ton of weight by looking at your “after” picture alone.

Some new progress pics for Me!

Amazing work!

No full body shots! I can show you in my face, which really changed. The body shots will be 50 pounds from now when I hit onederland ~

Love that I am able to live life and do things I've always dreamed of but held myself back because I didn't feel good enough (too fat/big, etc).

Here's my starting weight and pic from Saturday after wrapping half trail marathon, one year and 11 days from my heaviest. Last pic is feeling good about how far I've come.

This was about a year ago. I just had a baby 2 weeks ago so I haven't been back in cute clothes yet.

Im not sure if your asking me but i can answer. Just make sure to always eat small eat to a comfortable state. Im a little past my 12 months out and i can say some days this is my struggle that my mind just wants to eat more but of course i dont because i dont want to get sick. Drink all your Water and Vitamins. Try to stay away from sugar as much as you can because it only triggers you to want to have a bite of bad food or deserts i should say. Im sure you hear this all the time but always eat your Protein first. Oh and btw ive been lazy not working out only walking and dancing once in a while. So because of not actually doing a more strengthening workout routine im super weak so this year that will be my focus. Hope this helps! Good luck with your journey!

I had a gastric bypass in April. I'm down over 70lbs since surgery and I feel great. Tonight I went public about the surgery so I felt like I was coming out. I feel good about the progress. The comparison is crazy to see. Because you don't see it day to day.

I used to travel for work a lot B4 sleeve and it was tough, I’m not sure I could do it now, so congratulations on trying to find a workable option. I have some ideas, that might be possible.
When you travel is it often to the same places, and do you frequent the same restaurants? If so, you could have a chat with the restaurant and see what options may be available. They may be able to offer you smaller portions, and by being a regular you won’t need to constantly explain at time of ordering. A reminder at booking may be enough. Is it a requirement to wine/dine client? Is it possible to change up the location or activities?
The home cooking can be a challenge, and again I have no idea of your arrangements so feel free to ignore. You could check to see if there is a shelter or a Ronald McDonald type of housing in your area. You could cook up your favourite dishes, take a serve or 2 for yourself and drop the rest off. This way families staying in short term/supportive housing benefit from a home cooked meal and the food isn’t wasted.
Best of luck and let me know how you go.

Haven't taken a whole body picture since surgery, but here's a face side by side. One on right is 5 weeks post RNY. One on left is a few weeks before surgery.

Give him a break man. He's excited!

My first pic is just after surgery cause I didn't have any before good ones.

Started at 237 and that was heaviest.
Surgery was 4/11/17 I didn't have to do preop diet cause I needed to maintain.
2nd pic is 7/25/17. 60 lbs down weighing in last week at 177.

I want to be somewhere between 150-140.

Im 6 months post OP I once weighed 325 but when I had surgery I weighed 285. I've lost 105lbs. This is the best decision I've ever made I love everything about my journey minus the flabby skin but who cares I'm healthier now. It's been rough but my mind was set so I just remind myself why I had to do this.
