Thank you! It is truly life changing! And you will be there very soon as well! Good luck in your journey! It's all about self discovery...

Hey Piplula! A year already......isn't it amazing? It's gone by slowly and quickly, all at the same time. And look how far you've come! An inspiration, a motivator, a success story. Did you think you'd be these things when you started your journey a year ago?

Fantastic job, and I KNOW you will get to the point you want (though in so many ways, I think you're "already there"!).

You were sleeved about 6 weeks before I was, and of course I was closely reading the boards and trying to understand what my own road was going to look like. Your posts, your honesty, and sharing your ups and downs made a big difference for me. Thank you!

Like you, I'm "still a work in progress". I have a month to my "surgiversary", and if I'm really lucky, I'll hit the same mark you did (145 lbs down). Currently I'm 134 down and feeling great! Another 50 lbs to go, and it may take 8 months more, but there's no rush.

As much as our bodies have changed, the real transformation is in our psyche and in our confidence and approach to life (at least for me, that's true...). I feel more prepared to take on anything now, and I know that with determination and perseverance, I can do it!

Thank you for posting the pics! You look AMAZING, BEAUTIFUL, and SO HAPPY and HEALTHY! Love your kitty too! Thank you also for sharing you diet and exercise info. I need to find me a yoga class! I'm struggling with getting in the exercise, partly a schedule issue and partly I just don't wanna! LOL! Guess I'm lazy by nature. I do enjoy walking and biking and have a gym membership but have trouble getting consistent in my work-out efforts. I have a lot of arthritis and that can hold me back too. I'm only 6 weeks post-op and my weight loss has already slowed down to a crawl, just 1 lb a week. If I hadn't been sleeved I be OK with that but now I want it to go faster! Of course I know I need to work at this a little harder than I have been, especially with getting more exercise. Your journey has really helped to inspire me! Blessings to you!

      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?

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
