I am 2 weeks away from my 6 months mark and ... I am finally feeling better and stronger so I actually want to exercise now! Never thought I'd say that! ...

I am the same way. I actually look forward to going to my M-W-F boot camp classes!

Tomorrow (4/24) is my 6 month surgiversary. I would like to attach a before and after picture, but can't figure out how to attach it to my post.

Before surg: 203

Current: 137

12 pounds until I reach my personal goal, 2 pounds until I reach my surgeon's goal. I feel fantastic! I love my sleeve and my new lease on life. Completely eliminated my diabetes, hypertension, high cholesterol, sleep apnea, fatigue, painful joints, Migraines and depression.

Hello fellow Octosleevers!! I hope everyone is doing great. Sunday is my birthday & I have a pretty great gift for myself: I'm almost overweight!! Yippee!!! Soooo, if - no, WHEN - I lose .4 more pounds I will officially hit "overweight" status!!!! And to think that this time last year I was still on the fence about the surgery & hadn't even found my surgeon yet. Now I'm 68+ pounds lighter & my self esteem is through the roof. I'm celebrating my bday ALL weekend long with friends tonight, family tomorrow, a new flirt interest on Sunday, and a day off from work on Monday to recover from it all. I'm hoping the weather is nice on Monday - I may head to the beach for the day & rock this sleeve in a new bikini :-)

Lol - well Monday didn't find me at the beach: it was like a monsoon here in Raleigh that day. But my birthday weekend was everything I had hoped for, plus more. I even hit "overweight" with a flourish: not just that .4 lbs I was looking to lose, but actually down 4 lbs in 2 days! Might have had something to do with the liquid (alcohol) diet I maintained for the better part of 24 hours considering neither of us was in any shape to call out for food.... <3 my sleeve !!!!!

      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!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
