Hey guys!

It's my six month surgiversary and everything is moving along smoothly the way I had always hoped and dreamed of. There were a couple of stalls along the way but they never lasted very long and I always knew they'd go away.

Highest weight before pre op diet-225

Weight at surgery-218

6 months post op-143.3

My goal weight is 125-130 range because I'm only 5'4" and I mean right on the nose. So I'm fairly short!

My exercise has been 3-4 times a week of moderate intensity workouts. If I work out too hardcore--I overcompensate by eating more calories than I should be and it eliminates the calories I burned. So i figured I have to do something in between. That is what personally works for me.

Good luck to everyone and I hope everyone is enjoying their sleeves as much as I am! To anyone who is about to have surgery or contemplating it--I can't recommend it enough!

And also wanted to add my diabetes has gone into remission since surgery! I am THRILLED about that! I was diagnosed type 2 diabetic last summer and freaked out! I will always be vigilant about my eating and keeping the sugars/carbs as low as possible because I know diabetes can always come roaring back if I go back to the "old me". The sleeve has helped a lot with that and I'm so very grateful!

That is awesome! You were in the same spot I am before your surgery. I am hoping to get where you are now. Thanks for sharing!!!

Congratulations and thank you for sharing!! What a great inspiration!

Congrats!! I know you are feeling much much better! Keep up the great work!

Congrats to you, great to hear you are doing well. I too will be at 6 month surgiversary on Aug 9th. My high weight was 255, 240 at surgery, 179 now! Yaaaay to us!!!!!

I've had Diabetes these past 20 yrs.

My surgeon told me the longer you've had diabetese, the chances are not good for you to get healed

i was one of the lucky ones, after all those 20 years, meds, insulin - NO MORE

yeah for the sleeve
