Wow, time flies! I am 2 years post op... My story: I started in the 260's..... made my very modest weight loss goal (170lbs) in 9 months and have been maintaining fairly easily since, (a few ups and downs!) At one point I was up 7-8 pounds but I am currently holding within 2 pounds of my low weight. I was eating sliders for sure, I caught myself and got back on track with normal eating. I still have hunger, I only lost it for about 4 months. I still have fair restriction, but sliders are almost as easy to eat as before. I eat anywhere between 1500-2000 calories a day to maintain. I don't eat low carb, but I try to fuel my body healthily. Don't get me wrong, I still eat cheezits and cookie dough for dinner sometimes! I drink 2-3 beers per week, and drink sparkling Water everyday, no troubles with carbonation. I bike or slowly jog/ walk a few days a week. Nothing crazy. I have a fairly active job as a RN. I have ZERO loose skin BUT I am 170 pounds, so if i wanted to see 130 pounds I might run into that problem. I wear as size 12 and mediums and some larges. (pre-op I was 2x and 24 easy) I would like to maintain my weight for another year then try to lose 10 more pounds. I am super happy, best decision I have ever made to get the sleeve. I am 30 years old and weigh less today then I did when I was 12 years old!

I am very grateful for this website, I have been on nearly everyday for the past 2 1/2 years, and I will keep coming back to help keep me in track!

These are the stories I love to read, so thank you for sharing.

No disappointment at unattainable goals, happy and healthy and enjoying life. I love your outlook at moderation and that you measure your success with what works for you not with some magazine idea of what real women are.

Congratulations.

Thank you!! I was lucky, my surgeon was honest and told me to shoot for 175 with the sleeve and that would be a good result. He advised if I wanted to weigh 130lbs I should get the RNY, but my quality of life and health might not be as good. I feel normal ! That's all I wanted!

Love this, thank you! You look beautiful in you pictures, the before and the afters. I have the same goal with my sleeve surgery scheduled in two weeks. I have been holding at 200 for a few years and honestly I'm happy! Life is so much better than it was at 255 for 10+ years. My sleeve goal is 170, I am so looking forward to the journey. The last time I weighed 170 was a short time in high school as I steadily gained weight.

Thanks again for the great post and pictures!

You look great!

I am sorta discouraged now. I started at 264 and I want to to be 130.

I am 186 now and a size 12 and med-large tops and that's not good enough for me. I carb rotate and shock my body and fast and do all the things your supposed to keep the weight coming off but not to be 130 might be so discouraging!

I am so happy you look great and are happy where you are!

everyone is different. The reason I don't want to be 130 is I would have to diet and constantly worry and count calories. Regain would be a constant worry and battle for me. There are tons of sleevers that make it down to normal weight! Don't give up. How far out are 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...
