I am now down 42 lbs (including pre op diet weight loss). I have went from wearing a size 22 to a size 14 or 16. I can now shop in the non plus size section and i am super excited about that! i still have a long way to go but my husband thinks i look amazing and that makes me happy! I am soooo glad I decided to get the sleeve and soooo blessed my insurance coveres it at 100 percent.

Wow Pixie, you go girl! That gives me So much encouragement since I am 2 1/2 weeks post op and just gained back 2 lbs, so net loss is 272-247, so 25 lbs. I am also still a size 22, although getting loose, I so want to get into a 14-16 and shop regular stores! Please keep me posted as we have similar stats...how much are you walking, working out? That is my weakness, still feel heavy and tired:(

Can someone recommend something I could wear that would help me get accurate calorie burned numbers while working out. I want one that is accurate but not to expensive. I worked out on my WII today with the biggest loser game and did a 20 minute moderate level full body work out as well as a warm up and cool down and it said I burned less than 100 calories (measured I guess by me holding wii remote). The work out consisted of lunges, push ups, jumping jacks, planking, etc and my heart rate was up and I was sweating so I find it hard to believe I burned less than 100 calories..... Thanks in advance for any suggestions. and I am LOVING my sleeve! Oh... one more thing... an NSV... I measured today and I have lost 18 inches in the last month and a half... that makes the stall I have been at for over a week ok :)

I think if you click on the actual ticker in your signature line it should lead you to update? I believe that's the case, I don't have a VST ticker but is the case with ticker factory. Congrats on Onederlan!!! :D

I havent posted in awhile but I am feeling great! I have lost 80 lbs since surgery. I can now wear a size 12:-) . I weigh 182 today and my goal is to make it to 140 and see how I feel. I have not been working out much...that is my struggle so I have gotta start that soon since my weight loss has slowed down now.

      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... :(
