Down 65 pounds. Love my sleeve!

Wow - what a transformation.

Congrats on your great success.

Looking great. Congrats. Wow in 3 months 65 is incredible

congrats to you...that is great success!!! You clothes are just hanging off you!!!

So, is there anything that you find surprising since having your sleeve? Anything you didn't expect??

I was one of those who thought I still wasn't going to lose weight. I'm still shocked when I get on the scale and I'm losing. I've been surprised at a lot of things. My recovery was smooth and easy. Back to work in a week. No nausea, no pain, no throwing up. I have zero food intolerances so far.....quite a change from the band. I do have hunger, but no cravings. If I feel hungry, I eat something and I'm full. That has been life changing, as I never felt full in my life.

I chart everything on fitness pal, and I count every calorie. I stay within 500-800 calories per day, and I work out with a trainer twice a week. I try and stay active as much as I can. I didn't realize until after how easy it can be to sabotage yourself with slider foods. You can eat lots of calories if you choose. I had one cookie over Christmas. That was my treat.

Just bought my first pair of size 14 jeans. I'm fitting into size 14/16 regularly. Going into regular stores is a joy....not to mention people treat you differently. Trying on clothes and going out is a pleasure. I no longer feel like people are looking at my size first.

Boards like this have been a godsend. We are all in this together!

U look Amazing!!! Did u have the band before ?

I did. It slipped once and that was the only time I lost weight with it. I hated the band. Really never worked for me, constantly throwing up, food intolerances, never able to get the full amounts right. I am very glad it's gone!

I also have the band I lost 64 lbs then it went bad. I have bad acid Reflex, I couldn't keep anything down. So my Dr removed all of my Fluid now I gained all my weight back. I'm having the sleeve on March 4. Ur a Inspiration for me. Thank u.

Down a total 78 ibs from the start of my journey. 3 month anniversary as well
