So I just wanted to give a 25 day update to help people like myself who almost backed out of surgery. I am feeling pretty good and I am only on the soft food stage of my post op diet. I eat brocolli cheese Soup & yogurt daily along with powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury chicken soup Protein.

I have lost 35lbs. as of today and have dropped from a 54" waist to a 48" waist already. I am a big muscular guy so my weight was 384 at surgery and today 349 and already getting compliments.

The 1st picture was the final straw that made me look into gastric sleeve & the 2nd picture was taking today at work.

Way to go!

Awesome!! Keep up the good work

Since this thread keeps getting looks I will use it for my 1 year update (that was hit yesterday 2/23/15). I am down 136lbs. and almost to my goal weight. I have a very healthy lifestyle now and work out at least 3-4 days a week. I love my new life and I couldn't gave done it without the tool of gastric sleeve surgery. My only regret is that I didn't do it before.

Great work. I am getting ready to be sleeved in less than 2 weeks. I'm on a similar path and reality is starting to set in. Starting at 379 and hope to be at the 215/220 range as well.
