Can't believe I have lost 60 pounds ! I am 4 1/2 months postop..., starting weight of 254, today at 194! I am now in the smallest clothes I had held onto from about 8 years ago, and really need to do some shopping as the styles are definitely dated, but I don't want to buy any until it's a smaller size! I had the lap band initially in 2007, and it never seemed to work right- think I lost 30 pounds total and was always getting "stuck" before it finally "slipped" in 2011 and was removed. The sleeve is far superior in every way, and I could not be happier!! Another big difference this time is this message board- it is so full of encouragement, so full of good information, and has kept me motivated and on the right path!! Thanks so much!! Also, I am devoted and faithful to myfitness pal - and I believe it has also been pivotal in my success and encourage anyone to try it!! You can also friend me DocAngTx12 !!

Well congratulations! I am glad you are doing so well...keep up the good work! I just joined My fitness Pal but I am just transferring to the mushies stage and don't really consume enough food to make an entry yet. As soon as I make it past these six weeks it will be my new best friend! LOL!

Congrats! I call those old skinny clothes my "I have a dream....." wardrobe. If I were you I would wear my outdated "I have a dream" wardrobe proudly until they are saggy. It will make the moment when you HAVE to buy something because NOTHING fits so much more exciting!

That's awesome! Keep up the great work.

Woot! Congrats!! Keep up the good work!!!

Woot! WTG!!

Congrats!

Inspired. I read the various postings on this site and most times I am speechless because I relate so much to the various postings. I feel like someone is writing my story. My failed Lapband. I am anxiously awaiting approval from the insurance company. I feel inspired, empowered...motivated plus so much more when I read. I've finally found a place I feel understands. Anyway, proud of your weight loss and keep on losing. I cannot wait until I get to paved road of success you are walking.
