I can't begin to tell you guys how happy I am with the sleeve and what a difference it has made in my life. It's just beginning to dawn on me that this is really happening and that I don't have to worry that I'll gain it all back or do something that will make the scale gods unhappy with me.

I really really am so excited for my future -- I just can't believe it -- I feel like I have to pinch myself!! :D

Thank you all for your support -- even though I haven't said it enough, you guys are the best!

Starting weight: 303.6

WOW! That's impressive. My surgery date was 08/23/10 and my weight was 229.1. I currently weigh 194.2 so since I had my surgery I've lost 35lbs. What are you doing to be so successful? I plateaued at 207 for 4 weeks.

Thanks for sharing...

I really am doing just the basics -- I eat until my stomach says stop (it's usually a slight nauseous feeling) -- I drink 64 oz. of Water a day -- and I walk my doggies a lot. :lol:

I do eat a lot of Protein first -- I'm trying to combine more veggies in my eating but sometimes I get full before I eat many veggies.

I did a video for YouTube where you can see my before and "during" pics -- I really am just very overwhelmed with how the sleeve is working. crazy. Here's the link to the video:

Thanks guys for all your support, you really don't know how much it means to me :)

I am so happy for you. I am having my surgery on November 10th and I am going crazy with anticipation. I adore hearing how the surgery has been a success for everyone both physically and mentally.

Ok I have a question...how in God's name are you drinking 64 oz. of Water a day???? I used to be able to do that and more in a day, now I'm lucky if I get 16 oz. of water in a day, seriously. The 30 min. wait after eating totally messes that up for me :(

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
