I'm 5'4", start weight was 225. Had lap band in 2006, lost to 160-170lbs. Went to see surgeon to discuss pain I was having (ended up being all bladder issues). While there we talked about the sleeve since I was stuck with weight loss. Had my revision January of 2010. Got to my goal weight (135-145) within 6 months and have been coasting ever since. I give myself a 10lb swing with my weight before I get serious with cutting out high calorie foods. When I'm on the low end it's really too light for me because my face looks too gaunt. So I actually eat anything I want (sodas, sweets, carbs, etc.) just to maintain. My stomach can hold a lot more food now than a couple of years ago, so I can drag out a meal and look like I'm eating the same amount as others, which is nice during business dinners when you don't want to explain to strangers why you are only eating a small amount.

I feel younger now at 52 than I did all through my 30's and 40's because I'm so much healthier. Had been on meds for depression, high triglycerides and had sleep apnea (used C-PAP machine). Now I'm off all meds and of course no sleep apnea.

Texas T,

You look great! I cant believe your 52yrs young you look maybe 39 yrs at the most. I have the same exact stats as you except I have not made it to goal yet in 6 months like you. I am gonna keep you as my inspiration. Thank you

Thanks for the kind words. My hubby's hair is all gray now (super sexy on him!), and he jokes that people will think he's my Sugar Daddy when we go out. We've been together since we were both 19, so he's glad to have his old girlfriend back :).

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.

      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!!
