My progress, 7 weeks out!

[kelseycakes20 110]

I'm 19 yrs old and have been considering surgery since I was about 17 since I've dealt with obesity literally my whole life.

My surgery was Nov 18, 2014. I started at 298 and am now at 254! Only 7 weeks out of surgery but have seen a huge difference in how I look!

5 days preop I was probably around 295lbs.

2.5 weeks was around 271lbs.

1 month post op I was stuck in a little stall at around 260.

It's so funny that I look in the mirror every day and always tell myself that I don't see any changes and feel upset and then I actually look at the pics I took right before surgery and how much I've changed. Literally puts me in tears!

Of course I'm still in progress, my goal is to be about 120, I'm hoping that happens! I'm really short, 5'1 so technically that's pushing almost still being overweight lol.

I can't wait to be a year out and look as great as all of you guys! Everyone here is such an inspiration ????

Amazing progress!!!

You are so lucky that this is an option at such a young age, before obesity has lasting negative health and psychological effects!

Keep posting your continued progress, you got this!!

Thank you!! I know I feel the same way! For the past two years I was going back and forth on the idea. Thought I could lose the weight myself and keep it off but every 10lbs lost I gained 20lbs back. I knew if I waited too long to do the surgery than I would've kept gaining and gaining. So happy to have my sleeve!

No complications at all, surgery itself only took like 30-45 minutes before I was put in my recovery room. I was out of the hospital the next afternoon. Within two weeks of surgery I felt like a brand new person. No problems with food or anything.

Everyone has those thoughts but don't worry!! The chances of that happening are very slim. Think of all the positive things that come after the surgery and it'll get you through those bad thoughts. I'm positive everything will be fine ????
