again I thank everyone for their positive comments, theyre all appreciated. im also glad to see that my post has helped some of you realize that sometimes the journey takes time, but don't ever give up. the one most important thing ive learned is that this sleeve is just one part of the whole program. don't think that just getting the sleeve is the answer to your weight loss, its not! you MUST make other lifestyle changes, especially what foods you put into your mouth! and slowly start to incorporate exercise into your life, even if you never exercised before you can start by simply walking. throw all your excuses that you've made your entire life out the window because if youre going to do something as life changing as getting a sleeve, the time for excuses is over! I wish all of you, both pre-surgery and post-surgery much success!

      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?

      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
