The day that I got the sleeve, I decided to document my journey with pictures. I took a selfie each morning so I could see the changes happening in my face. The link to the video below is my progress report. YIKES!

Great pics, glad you posted it.the difference is amazing. I am 45 and I have lost 24kgs (52 pounds). In 9 weeks, not complaining but my triple chin has turned into a crepe jowel, did you use anything to tighten you skin or are you just lucky?

You are an awesome, AWESOME woman! I have taken frequent full body selfies in my underwear....probably wont be posting those :( should have thought that idea through more lol. But I suppose for me & my husband it will be interesting at least.

I loved your lessons learned statements. You speak the truth in them all.

Congrats! All your hard work has paid off!

Thanks! I've lost a total of 97 pounds. I still can't believe that I had that much to lose!

Thanks! I did some research about tightening skin and have listed a few of them that I think have helped me.

1. Hydrate from the inside (drinking lots of water) and the outside (applying lots of lotion).

2. Don't use soap in the shower because it dries out the skin. Use a body wash instead.

3. Dry brush your skin. This one seemed a little weird but you get one of those back washing brushes at Walmart or wherever. Before you get into the shower, brush your skin with the brush. It is supposed to get rid of all of the dead skin cells.

4. coffee scrub. 3/4 cup coffee grounds, 1/4 cup brown sugar, enough olive oil to make it into a paste. Mix together and use as a scrub in the shower.

That's about it! I guess what the above didn't help with, luck filled in the rest. :-)

      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! 😞
