AJP. Congratulations on your weight loss. Once exercise starts I found it better to measure in inches lost rather than lbs. As sassyleever76 stated you may even gain in a given week. Rest assured though, you are on the right track. Muscles weigh more than fat but they burn calories. Keep up the good work.

I used to shy away from cameras and never took a selfie in my life. My confidence sucked and I refused to look in a mirror.I hated getting dressed up cause everything was uncomfortable. Now I embrace getting dressed up, in fact I tend to overdress at times to events just cause everything fits and looks good on me. My confidence is high and I feel great. One year out last week!!!
My wife went from having the fattest husband out of all the parents to having the damn hottest husband..LOL... (yeah, Im in the vain phase...lol) But shes not complaining much

9 months out from my VSG and decided to post some progress photos after its been forever. I finally stabilized my loss at around 140 pounds, 10 pounds lighter than my goal but I stopped caring about the number awhile back when people started getting on my case about losing too much.

One is from Memorial day May 2017 just before surgery and then earlier this month.
One clearly marks the timeline from August 2017 to Feb 2018,.
One is January, February and March 2018.
The last is regular new me
HW: 242.2
SW: 236.0
LW: 138.0
CW: 139.2

Dayum! You look so handsome and healthy!!! Congrats!! How's your heart doing?

I told all of my coworkers and my boss about the surgery. If anyone asks how I've lost so much weight, I tell them too. I don't keep it a secret.

I tell everyone... I don't care. It's the truth, it's what happened and I own it.

I'm 45 and got sleeved on 8/31/18. I'm down 34lbs so far. I wish I would of done it 10 years ago.

I had my surgery on 8/29/18 and my team did not require pre-op diet either, I just could not have anything to eat or drink after 12:00 midnight before the day of surgery. Each team is different that's all and they have their reasons. No wrong or right way...I was just fine.
I was very nervous too which is pretty normal. Once I got to the hospital and prepped they gave me something in my IV to relax me and it was over so quick.
I wish you all the best, you will be fine.

I was sleeved on 8/31 and did it all by myself. I purposely stayed in the hospital for 2 days as a precaution. I did experience minimum incision pains when I left the hospital but it was bearable...no pain meds and I actually drove myself to and from the hospital and I was fine.

I stayed one night and I don't mind that I did. I was not given an option and didn't even think to ask to go home early. The time flew by and the staff was great.
