I started this journey weighing 272 pounds at the beginning of the year. When I got sleeved on 3/30/2011 I weighed around 263. This morning I got on the scale and was rewarded with a 199.0 weight. I haven't been under 200 lbs since the 80's! No longer am I afraid of mirrors and the scale no longer laughs at me!

That's great man. That 199 is my dream. I'm starting at 260 or so. Surgery 7/21. Stories like yours are what are keeping me going right now. Been since the 80's for me also. Gosh I can't wait to feel again what that feels like.

Wow, you have lost about 65 lbs in not quite 3 months?? That's really... fast - I'm gonna guess you're a male Chris.

Please share a bit about your routine. What's your workout routine, eating habits, etc?

I walk as much as I can. I enjoy playing golf and while it's incredibly hot and humid I do take a cart, but drink lost of Water. Before we bought the house that we're currently in, I was walking around 3 miles each morning and watching the carbs. Now, I'm increasing calories a little and trying to maintain. I'm at a weight that I honestly never thought I'd be at again in my life.

congrats ...must be feeling amazing... and its a real morale boooster for new people like me....i just got sleeved a week back and still on my liquids.... do share what ou followed for speedy weight loss...

It was easy for me. Honestly I mean that. My wife got sleeved in December and I just followed her lead. She was my hero in all of this and knew how to prepare foods and just guided me. I know that the biggest challenge is support so that battle was won before it started.
