Yes it is possible or I am making a big mistake. :)

Actually, it may take some time and effort but I am sure you can do it. I have a high goal also but know we can do it.

I have a friend who lost 200 lbs with the sleeve, stopped to have a baby, lost the minimal baby weight, and is still dropping. You can do this!

Most definately You Can Do This! My surgeons nurse lost over 250lbs in just about under 2 years after her sleeve, she is the one who convinced me not to get the Lap Band and to get the Sleeve instead. She looks Fantastic and doesn't closely resemble her pic at 300lbs. It won't happen over night but with diligence you can do this! :D

My surgeon thinks there is this 1 year magical mark where you stop losing weight. I have learned from these boards that it's just baloney.

You can lose as much as you want.

Jimbo, on the Obesity Help forum, has lost more that 300 lbs with his sleeve. It's certainly possible if you stay focused, patient, and disciplined.

To date I have lost 147 pounds...in almost 10 months (well 10 months tommorow).

It is definitely do-able and attainable. I started at 330.

I have included exercise atleast 5 days a week, early on I was doing 2 gym sessions a day, i am down to mostly one a day now....I have incorporated additional exercise into my life, by walking 2 and from work and when I need to go places.

I eat pretty much as I wish nowadays, and still follow alot of the rules, Protein, low carb and veggies. I do now allow myself Snacks which are less healthy.

It is possible however it does require a lot of HARD work on my part.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
