So this last Saturday (Sept 10) marked the 8 months post op point for me on this journey. I am still amazed at what a process it's been. I have had success well beyond my wildest dreams. As is often the case nothing is ever completely positive. There have been some bumps to work through that I never would have predicted before surgery. Primarily dealing with relationships. Relationships with both people and my relationship with food. It has been a learning experience in so many ways.

In snapshot form:

I've lost 242lbs since my first consultation on Nov 23, 2010.

I've lost 206lbs since my surgery on Jan 10, 2011

I'm now smaller than I have been since the 6th grade. I have never been this size as an adult.

I am in the smallest pants and shirts I have worn since who knows when.

I have cleaned out my closet of the old clothes and this time instead of storing them in the basement to use when the weight returns, I am getting rid of them.

I'm beginning to feel on the outside like the person I have always believed I was on the inside.

I am so fortunate that I'm still seeing benefits and confirmation, almost daily, of my choice to have the sleeve .

Thanks for reading. Take care y'all.

200+ pounds lost post surgery in less than a year is astonishing, even when starting at a high weight. What's your secret?! :D

Thank you all so much for your kind words and encouragement. I wish I had a secret to tell. I'm following the instructions I've been given and trying to make sure I live my life thinking of food as required energy. It's not emotional support, entertainment or a friend of any kind. Thanks again y'all!

      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...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
