Hey Everyone,

I am a 22 yr old college student and was sleeved on August 22nd. I am a little over 2 months post op right now. I am loving my sleeve!

I had a great recovery right from the start and am down 55 pounds right now. My starting weight was 231 and I am currently at 176. I can pretty much tolerate any kinds of foods - but just very, very small portions of food!

The first picture is me at my consultation appointment on July 19th and the other one is a wedding from the summer. The next one is from this past weekend at a bridal shower.

I have had stalls, but haven't freaked out about them. I lost 12 pounds my first week and then nothing for 3 more weeks. It kinda sucked but then it all started dropping!! I work out 4-5 times a week with friends - cardio, weights, circuits, etc. I just keep doing what I am supposed to knowing that it has to eventually come off! My doctor's goal for me is 130 which I can't even fathom. We will see!!!

I'm feeling way more confident and am so glad that getting dressed is no longer such a depressing activity. I have more energy and just feel happy.

I hope everyone else is doing great. Hang in there new sleevers!

thank you for sharing Jordyn, I feel the same way as you felt, I was sad when i went shopping and i was sad after, the only cloths that I could get at a decent price where ugly. your story gave me the kick I needed tonight

You're welcome. Hang in there and just be prepared for it not to be easy. Five days after surgery I started crying for no reason at all. I literally mourned food and it sounds ridiculous, but food really had a hold on me. I ate when I was happy, sad, stressed, bored, angry, etc. I notice that I am more emotional than I was before surgery - you just kinda feel what you are feeling instead of coping with it with food. Fight through the hard days and the good days will be worth.

Totally know what you're saying about the clothes. I have three beautiful younger sisters and it really sucked when we would all go shopping and nothing looked good on or even fit. I couldn't help but smile this weekend when I came home from school and me and my sisters all got ready in the bathroom and I felt normal again! Good luck to you

You look wonderful!

It's so motivating to see photos like yours. You look awesome! Thanks so much for sharing!

Way to go Jordyn! You've done an amazing job!!!

I am happy to see how the surgery has given you your life back! That is what I hope to experience soon. I think that most of us had the same feelings you did about food. I had my surgery on Oct 23rd and am feeling better. Still learning but still glad that I made this decision. Congrats and you look great!!

Wow, you look wonderful and I love your cute outfit! Can't wait to wear cute clothes!

You look incredible! I can't believe how amazing your results are after only two months!! We are about the same weight, and I'm hoping my recovery and weight loss results are similar to yours.

You are really lovely. Congratulations!

You look amazing! I was sleeved on 8/23 and am down 49 lbs. I am so happy with my sleeve. I am like you and can eat just about anything...just much less of it. Good luck on the rest of your weight loss!

Great job....you did in two months what it took me to do in three months. I cant wait to see what I look like at 175....

Congrats that's a wonderful success story nd also u look amazing before nd after

You look so beautiful and happy. Maybe that's the greatest gift of all. Happiness we all deserve it and we are all fighting for it. If I have to work hard for something I always appreciate it that much more.

Smoking!!!!!

Wow you look fabulous! I'm getting sleeved on November 12th and I hope I can have the same success. I'm super excited to start my new life. Congrats!

You look awesome!
