Well I think I am finally at my goal. It's been 5 1/2 months since my surgery. It's been wonderful! With the exception of the first two weeks post op when I thought I was going to die.

Today just for the fun of it I went and tried on clothes at the store. I used to hate to shop. Now when I look at something on the hanger I think that will never fit me. I try it on and it does. I love my sleeve. One of the best decisions of my life.

Thank you....this forum is about the only place I can post pictures, if I do it on FB it seems like "friends" have something to say negative. I personally think they are jealous. Well that's my story anyway.

Of course they're jealous! It didn't take you long to reach your goal. My I ask your stats? HW, SW, and CW? Age too maybe? ???? I'm having surgery on the 18th. I'm 53 and about 125 lbs overweight

Congratulations!! You look fantastic! I hit my goal today, so we're kindred bariatric spirits! Do you have a plan for maintenance? I'm thrilled for you!!!!!

I am working on the maintenance portion now. Talked to my NUT last week. I am a bit freaked out about not seeing the scale move down. It has been a big part of my life, I don't want to fail. I have never had a stall in this entire process. A steady moving down on the scale. So I don't know what it is like to not lose when I get on the scale. I am still losing about .2 pounds a day. I know I need to eat more. I no longer eat fat free cheese. I am trying to eat more like a normal person. What are your maintenance plans?

HW 289, SW 229. CW 150 height 5'9 got all protein and water in since about week two. Little to no hair loss (THANK YOU GOD) and I didn't have any stalls. I am 52 years old 51 at time of surgery. Exercised regularly mostly cardio in the first six months. More focused on weight training now.

And good luck with your surgery. You will do great!

That is awesome. I am 10pnds from goal and 6m post op.

Congratulations on reaching goal! You look great! I love shopping now too, enjoy it and life, you deserve it!
