As of this morning I met my goal of reaching 175 pounds, down from an all-time high of 324. My journey has not been easy as I had some complications and a second surgery early-on, but I have no regrets about being sleeved and continue to be thankful for this opportunity .

While many are pressuring me to to stop losing weight, I know that I need to lose at least another 10 pounds as my love handles are still begging for attention.

Andrew0929,

Congratulations. I'm so happy for you! Those that have not gone through the surgery and working to lose the weight have not idea how much inner strength it takes to be vigilant and work it because we ARE WORTH IT!

I had my surgery in December 2013 but I haven't weighed myself since my follow-up in June. I only weigh myself at doctor's appointments. My clothes are falling off again so I think I may have lost more than my current stats say. I just keep taking it one day at a time. Sometimes I slip and eat things I shouldn't but I just have to realize--I'm far from perfect and must get back on the horse and ride on.

Have a good one everyone!

Kathleen

WOO HOO! HIP HIP HOORAY! CONGRADULATIONS! WICKED AWESOME!

I have a lot of respect for anyone who can make the commitment that this takes and sticks with it! B) :D

I too am from MA, and going through BSMC in Springfield, with Dr. Romanelli. I don't have my surgery date yet, but hopefully for October.

Keep up the hard work!

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
