9 Months Out From Gastric Sleeve Surgery, 142lbs Lost... 200lbs Today.

Well... just stepped on the scale 4 times and each time it kept insisting that I'm 200lbs. I told to stop kidding me but it will not recant!

When I started this journey at 342lbs I was hoping to see 240lbs... the 'recommended' weight for my height seemed like a joke.. and now I'm 15 little pounds away.

I can't even begin to describe how happy I am right now. I'm so very grateful for everything that I have in my life!

I feel great! Today I want to thank the stars, gods, surgeons, friends, family... this awesome community.

*happy dance*

I'm actually having periods now. At 342 they were pretty non existent. We had plenty of fertility issues but we've two little ones now and we're done but if we wanted more I'm sure we'd have zero issues now. My skin pigmentation issues seem to be getting better as well.

The biggest issue with my PCOS was insulin resistance and constant hunger - that's 100% gone. I feel like a normal person! :)

Congrats on your amazing job!!! keep it up :)

Incredible! Can you tell us what youre doing? You are awesome!

Faboolous dahlink!! I'm thrilled for you and doing my own happy dance here!!! :)

I log my food using Livestrong - My plate.

I generally stick to low carb (between 50-100 carbs a day).

I ride my horse 4 days a week.

And generally speaking I follow the guidelines for VSG (I'm always amazed at the folks that don't do this!!! I have two friends that have had bypass and regained all of their weight and profess confusion about why they failed with cans of diet coke in their hands.)

Use the tool! :)
