Woohoo! Gastric sleeve surgery 5-18-12.

From a size 30 jeans and size 30/32 top to a size 8 jeans & size MD top. From 338 to 181.

When I put the 8's on, and they fastened , I seriously sat in the fitting room floor and cried!

The sleeve is the best thing I've ever done for myself. I would beg anyone who is struggling with their weight, do not wait, do it for YOU!

Awesome!! I too enjoy reading your post. I am having surgery on July 16 and my starting weight is just under your starting weight. You give me so much inspiration as I'm traveling this pre-surgery journey. I pray that I will have similar results as you. I am 43 and have 3 children that are 6 and under. I want to be healthy so that I can be around to watch them grow up. However, to be there, I have to change where I am today. I'm spiritually, mentally, and physically ready!! A lot of my feeling and being ready is from reading post from people like you. Keep it up!!!

I'm so happy for you! Get ready for the wildest ride of your Life! I did this because I was so angry at my mother. She died when I was 18 from smoking. One day I realized I was killing myself with food. I was doing the same thing to my kids. Your life is going to be so wonderful with your children. Mine are 14 & 11 and I missed out on playing with my kids cause I was too big to run, to chase, to really play. Best wishes on your surgery & I'm always here for you if you have any questions at all.

Congratulations, that is amazing!! I cannot even fathom how great you feel. Our numbers (beginning weight and goal) are similar, I was sleeved on 5/22 and have lost 31.5 lbs since the start of my pre-surg diet. The day to day loss seems small but when I look back I am pleased with the total. I already know I made a good decision. My husband was sleeved last Wednesday. We are excited to be on this journey together. CONGRATS again!

That's awesome! I can't imagine what it would be like to have a sleeve buddy. It sounds like you are doing great!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      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!!
