i'm so proud of you! Entering Onderland is such a good feeling. I'm glad you found so much help and support on BP.

I love seeing the scale go down and feeling a difference in my clithes. I'm sure you have gone down at least a size by now. It feels so good to feel your old jeans getting loose in the thighs and waist. keep up the great work! Cya in the century club!

Congratulations! I just reached this milestone myself after a long struggle getting below 200. It seems like a dream that I will wake up from! Like you I feel like telling the world and now tell everyone my weight when I tried to hide it before. Now I am proudly 196-199!

Now we just need to keep it going. I am 5-10 and want to be in the 180s. What is your goal?

Thank you all!! I would be happy at 150lbs however I have heard that I may bounce down a little lower?? I am sure everyone is different. You are right, there is something so liberating at being below 200 lbs!!

Let's keep up the good work fellow sleevers! Cheers to all :)

you can get to 150. 100 lbs definitely doable and possibly more. take advantage of first year. I just had my 1 year anniversary and it's getting slower but still works.

I hit wonderland too but so unhappy about just spending seven days in the hospital due to my sleeve narrowing where my band was that created scar tissue. I had to have another surgery last Wednesday to balloon it and get it open. I'm so depressed I don't even care about the weight. I had sleeve surgery five weeks ago and had such a hard time recovering and now this. By week five I was supposed to be on soft meats and advanced and I'm still on full liquids with all kinds of surgery pain again where they opened me up. I'm sorry I did this surgery and I'm in a very bad place mentally. I know one day I will be happy to be in wonderland. I'm just so sick and weak I can't be happy and wear jeans and be happy. So for the venting but I had to get it out.

I'm so sorry for the path you find yourself on and I can't really relate to your journey but someone who can and is a great source of inspiration is RJs/beginning. Check her out. .. I think it would be helpful to you. Good luck

Where or how do I search this person? It would be helpful for me to read the journey. I need inspiration.

      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?

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
