Yesterday was my one year surgiversary of the sleeve. I was so nervous about it, but it was one of the best decisions I've made. I've lost 131 pounds and counting. My foot pain is gone, I'm active and feel great. I've gone from a size 22 to an 8 and actually enjoy shopping now. I'm able to do any activities my kids ask of me. I couldn't be happier!

My one year was on Wednesday. I've lost 88 pounds, which us exactly what all the info says I could expect to lose:). So happy with my decision. Not bad for a 60 year old!!!!

Awesome!!! Did you hit many stalls?? How many calories did you try to stay at? People keep telling me I'm eating too few calories and that's why I am in a stall?? Should I up my calories?? I'm so confused!! My doc said three meals a day and Protein first then veggies the carb if room ( there never is room) haha any advice? I go to the gym.. Was doing the circuit and treadmill but people tell me because I'm not eating enough my body is just feading off my muscle... Ugh!! I can't win!! I just want to hit onederland and wear a nice dress and look good for my sons wedding in October! Hah well... And be healthy!! So.... Ya..... So you have any advice!?? Anything will help! : ) did I say you look awesome? Haha Thanks for sharing!!

Hi there! I was in a stall for several weeks. I only eat between 600-850 daily and I'm usually on the lower end because I get full really quickly when I eat dense protein. I took everyone's advice and increased my Water and protein (I now drink 2 shakes a day) and it paid off. I lost 3 pounds this week. Yay me. So you may need to increase your protein and water intake. I hope this helps.

      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!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
