Sleeved on 1.13.25!
My highest weight ever was almost 300 pounds. Seeing that number on the scale made me get serious about changing things and I started a keto diet in 2017. I lost 130 pounds in less than a year! After a lot of life upheaval, I was no longer able to stay on the keto diet and I regained 45 pounds over the next two years. However, I kept the other 85 pounds off permanently. I am very proud of this.
In 2024 I decided I was tired of bouncing around the 200 pound mark, and started the approval process for a gastric sleeve. I got approved after 5 months and as I write this I am 15 days out from surgery, 11.2 pounds down thus far!
Update 1: I lost 25 pounds the first month, which my surgeon says is exceptional for someone with a relatively low start weight. I'm super happy.
Update 2: I am now 6 months post-op and weigh about 135! Still going strong, 16 pounds from my ultimate gooooaaal! Currently wearing a size 6 clothing and I no longer need blood pressure meds.
