I am 4 months post op sleeve, and still wonder if I will lose any more weight since I have been stuck at 170 for 5 weeks. I can live with this so I am not complaining. What I love is after a 3 day family reunion with 200 people, I lost 5 lbs! I found myself looking at all those plates loaded with good old Southern cooking, fried fish, barbecue, homemade cakes, potato salad, and was not the least bit feeling deprived. Honestly it feels awesome not to have the urge to stuff myself like I have done so many years. I am so glad I had the sleeve, and my health has improved drastically. Best part is the asthma seems "gone" and I am not gasping for breath, neuropathy no longer makes me cry with the pain, and off Metformin! Love this life!

Makes you kinda think the creator made a mistake when it left it up to humans to learn everything on their own. Probably would have been a good idea to throw in a few basic instincts in the mix.......take away some of our really dumb choices. :unsure:

I feel the same way. My daughter had a sleep over this weekend and I didn't feel the urge at all or even feel bad about not being able to eat her cupcakes.

I know how you feel, Linda, about how your health has improved. I am a type 2 diabetic, 3 months out from surgery, and I am off my insulin and down from 2 Glucovance pills and 2 Metformin pills to only one Metformin a day. Also, no more sleep apnea or GERD since I also had the hernia repair. I am so happy I had the sleeve...it was the best Christmas present I gave myself. Good luck to you.

I want to be outdoors in the sun in a swimsuit! Keep up the good work because those meds will change as you lose!!! High five!!!

Thank you, Linda for the encouraging words. I'm in SW Florida and the weather is already nice, in the 80's, but I am looking forward to putting on a bathing suit again. Even with a pool, I hated the thought of putting on a bathing suit at my weight. By the way, I don't know why you think I'm younger than you, but I am actually in my early 70's so I did do this for my health and my kids and grandkids. Keep up the good work, we'll both look amazing by the summer.

Woo hoo Betty thought it said you were 56 lol. I will be 68 this year and the pool is calling me too. My retirement gift to self. Yes we will, lots to look forward to youngster! I am headed soon to Pensacola to kayak with my wonderful daughter. My only grandchild is 26 and I am praying he gets married so I can have a great granddaughter soon! Please stay in touch!! Linda

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      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!!
