Wow! What A great transformation! U are an inspiration to me. I'm 8 months post op and I have around 10 lbs to go for my goal. We can do this!
9 months post-op. Kind of hard to believe, but at this point. I have to just say I am very thankful I have my sleeve. For me, everything is normal. I eat what I want and when I want. I almost always eat Protein first. I have a glass of wine (or three) when I want to. Only word of warning is to not skip your vites. I had low Iron last blood work, and I am really trying hard to get it back up! Anemia sucks.
I am still losing weight and well on my way to hitting my goal of 120 pounds, and only 3.6 lbs from my surgeon's goal of 140. I think I can lose the next 23.6 pounds by my 1 year surgiversary, but I know I am going to have to up the exercise if I really want it. I lose about 6 to 7 lbs a month right now.
There have been so many scale and non-scale victories. I don't even know what to say. I wear a size small and a size 6 jeans (from a XL and 24). I don't even think about when I walk into a room if I am the fattest in there. I have soooo much room in the lecture hall seats... I can sit Indian-style! It just really makes me happy to walk across campus and not be winded and huffing and puffing, trying to catch my breath.
It really meant a lot to me to see pictures of different stages post-op so I wanna make sure I post mine.

Also, I just want to say. I am not the fastest loser by any means. I have lost 86.4 pounds since surgery. Everything else pre-op. Don't get discouraged. The loss will happen.
