Still skinny.

What's up you guys I will be 2 years post op in February and being sleeved is great. My sleeve has never given me any problems. Though I can eat more now than I could 6 months after surgery (which is normal) I still can't eat a full or regular size plate of anything. Everything is holding up. My confidence has been at an all time high. One thing they really don't prepare you for is during your pre op testing and therapy is how to deal with all the new attention you get. Whether good or bad depending on how you handle this it can and will be sometimes overwhelming. That may be the only not so good thing though. Other than that the skinny life is great. One more thing? When weighing yourself after surgery should we minus about 7 to 5 pounds for loose skin? Sounds silly I know but what do you guys think?

I can just say I hope to have your attentions problems soon. How long did it take to put on the muscle? Did you increase Protein to get there?

The minus 5-7 lbs is just so you know it is not fat you still need to lose, muscle weighs more too.

it didn't take long to tack on the muscle I feel like it was underneath the fat all along. But I'm as big as I want to get just working out to maintain that's all. Thanks everyone for the love and good luck on you weight loss journey. Can't wait to see your pictures. Let's motivate each other.

Fantastic! What a transformation! You look so happy :-) You are very motivating and hope that years out we can still keep our weight close to goal!

Thank you for sharing

Sheena :-)
