Hello my fellow sleevers :)

I was sleeved on March 29th. I come from a hispanic culture where we love eating, especially carbs!! My highest weight was 325, date of surgery weight was 304, and my current weight is 269!! I'm 5'9". I would always use large beach towels after showering, but those are BYE-BYE, and will only be used for beach/pool purposes. As of 6/11/2013, I actually use a regular size towel, and it actually closes on me now (whereas a couple months ago, I had to use two!!). I'm happy :)

Woo Hoo! I remember the day when I realized that my towel actually wrapped around all of me, not just my top half, with a big gap where my a$$ is.

That was a big NSV for me too! I find that I still reach for the beachtowel first when grabbing a towel, now it almost goes around me twice! woo-hoo

      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.

      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! 😞
