Today is my one year anniversary. I am 67 years old and 6.0 feet tall. I weighed 351 going into surgery and now weigh 203, a weight that I have been maintaining for the last 2 months.

I eat 6 times a day and am still eating only Protein, veggies and fruit. Carbs have not entered my body since my sleeve. I am probably eating up to 2000 calories a day.

I speed walk (I need 2 knees replaced) 4 to 5 miles 4 to 5 times a week and now box twice a week. Average of 500 to 600 calories burnt.

I weigh my self daily in the morning and am still afraid that I will gain weight (maybe that's a good thing).

My sleeve saved my life. All of you hang in there.

Good stuff. I thought I was really kicking but and I still feel I am for me. Some of you guys though are really getting after it.

I think I better get some consistent exercise started to kick it up a notch. I wanted goal weight at a year but now I am getting greedy and would like it by around February or March.

Good job guys. It is good inspiration to see the stories.

No worries Bro! I think u are making some good progress in barely 3M! I'm wanting to get to the gym so I can lift, but I can't yet. I'm focused on how the weight comes off. I want quick results like most of us guys, but I want to be toned up with it.

I have a one year goal like yours. Hell, anything below 300 will be a HUGE milestone for me!!! Lol! #SLOWnEASY

      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! 😞

      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.
