Today I am 17 months post op and I'm still lovin my sleeve.

I am 8 months in maintenance and bounce any where from 144-148. Today I'm 145.3. I could NEVER do this on my own. I would ALWAYS gain it back and then some.

I no longer "diet" or "starve"...I say it over and over IT'S A MIRACLE!!!!!

2010-2011 was the year of weight loss.

2012 will be the year of exercise...Lord willing!!!

Thanks to all of you who have inspired and continue to support me through my journey, could not have done it without you!

Love and happiness to all!!!

P.s. I've attached some before and after pictures, I really don't like looking at the before because they make me so sad, but hope to inspire someone out there!

Wow!! Congratulations. You look great and I have a feeling that you must feel even better. Reading your post really encourages me and reminds me that success in the area of weight loss really is possible. I know in my head that it's possible (certainly with VSG). It's so inspiring to read first hand experiences! I hope to be sleeved toward the end of May. Can't wait to be on the other side of this journey. Thank you so much for posting!!

      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!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      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?

      April Surgery
      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
