354 was the number as of May 9th. Today I am proud to say I am already at 323.4!

There are a lot of us who got pretty high before starting out journeys. Best of luck as you begin yours.

You are definitely not alone. I know when I first came here it seemed I was one of the biggest ones, but there are other 'heavy weights'

My highest recorded weight was 379, though I know I was bigger it just wasn't documented.

Today 6 months post op I'm down to 280. Basically 100 pounds down. I hadn't been under 300 in SO long, it's amazing to finally be here.

You can do it!

100 lbs in 6 months is great, I certainly hope I will be down that much in 6 months or less!! I really feel like if I can drop 50+ lbs pretty quickly it will really help with everything, especially exercise and chasing my kids around! I'm having such exciting feelings and I want to share this excitement but I get a lot of negativity from friends and family! I wish they would be more positive about it but all I hear is well I hope you can do it, well I hope it works for you and you don't gain it all back plus some??? Where does this come from, it's like they don't want me to loose the weight! Sorry for the venting, I know this should be positive on here!!! All I know is I'm gonna hold my head high and show them I CAN do it!!!

Wow that's great. Do you do any special exercises?

I bought a stationary bike and at first I rode for 5 minutes and it was all I could do... today I can easily ride 30 minutes on a high resistance. My knees are shot so walking isn't easy. I can say that my walking has improved tremendously. I weighed at the Dr. this week and am down to 378. Most would cringe at that, I am thrilled to be on this side of 400 and going down! Sleeve Surgery is the best thing I have done for myself! I feel so much better!!!

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

      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?

      April Surgery
      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
