I was sleeved November 11, 2010. I have now lost 81 pounds and no end in sight. Started this journey at 334 the day of surgery. I actually went to a conference last week, flew for the first time comfortably, no belt extender, could use the tray table, actually enjoyed the flight! As others have said, enjoying life so much more, no pain in the legs, knees, feet. Walked miles a day at the conference and was in great spirits all day. Enjoying so much that I have missed the last years, bowling, golfing, walks, swimming. It truly is amazing.

I have so much more self confidence now than I have had in 30 years. I do workshops and retreats and was always lacked confidence due to my weight and look. NOW, nothing holding me back. I enjoy being in front of a group and presenting.

It took me five years to work up the courage to have the surgery, to admit that I had food issues and needed help. Dieted for years, but yo-yo weight loss. I have been insulin diabetic for 10 years and was taking over 200units of insulin a day. Now I only take to meds and insulin as a correction. Most days I don't even take insulin! What a relief. Starting to eat different foods. Can't wait to be able to enjoy a salad and fresh vegetables. Have learned to cook better foods for the entire family.

Totally appreciate this forum and everyones comments, thoughts, encouragement to each other. This has been the one place I continue to come back to for support!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
