Was sleeved July 10th . Best decision of my life . Today is my 28th Birthday and I have never felt healthier . I am down 90 lbs from my heaviest , 70 lbs from my surgery. I finally hit a huge milestone ( for me at least ) the other day of dropping below 300 . That is very hard to post for me because I still have a lot to go and admitting what my weight was is difficult . But change is good . I am so glad I took this journey and continue to work hard each day . Congratulations to everyone else , we are all in this together !!

At my heaviest on the left to current

Congrats Ashley! You are doing an amazing job...very inspiring girl!!

Thank you all !!

CONGRATS!!!! You are doing an awesome job!!! And Happy Birthday!!

Wow. You're only a week ahead of me (July 16th) and I've only lost 18 lbs. I knew I'd lose slower cuz I started at 174 (band revision) but this is embarrassing. I know I could speed things along by watching everything I put in my mouth and only making healthy choice, but I'm happy eating small amt of ANYTHING I want and losing slowly.

But reading your post inspires me to maybe start losing again? I havent lost a lb in about a month. Haven't gained either (and we're away from home right now, MIL is having health problems so we're at the inlaws taking care of her out of state. Not the healthiest eating when ur away from home)

WTG!!! Keep it up!

Congrats and Happy Birthday!

Thank you !

You are doing a really great job. I am a Medical Assistant to a bariatric surgeron so I see sucess stories 5 days a week. I recently had the sleeve on 07/30/13 (by the surgeon I have worked beside for 2 years now) so I am 2 months out today! Keep up the great work you should be at your goal in no time! Best of luck to you!

Thank you ! Best of luck to you as well

It is so hard ! I notice even when I go home out of state it is difficult to stay on track but I always pack my Protein shakes. I had/have a lot of weight to lose so it's coming off quicker with the help of exercising frequently . Keep trying ! You can do it I hope your mil gets better soon , it's so hard to lose with added stress !

Awesome! Congrats!
