I was sleeved on September 12. I cannot believe it has been six months already. Well, things continue to go well. I started out at 335. As of this morning I am at 231.2 for a total loss of 103.8. 17 pounds to go to reach my goal if 215.

My losses have slowed significantly over the last couple of months. I am still steadily losing, though. I hope to reach my goal by May 23 which is the day we leave for a vacation in Costa Rica. I think I have a shot to do it.

My life has changed significantly since my surgery. My day no longer revolves around where and what I am going to eat. I plan my meals and usually stick with the plan. I average around 1100 calories a day. I do exceed that on occasion. I did enjoy some girl scout Cookies recently (Samoas). They were awesome and I do not regret it! I meet with a personal trainer three days a week. I can't say that I love it but I have definitely seen the benefits of it. I also just took up tennis and like it so far. I was able to ditch my cpap as my sleep apnea has resolved. No more snoring! My wife is extremely happy about that. In general, I feel great. Getting the sleeve was one of the smarter things I've done in my life. I wish I had done it sooner. No pictures yet. I'm not going to post any until I hit my goal. Good luck and have a great day!

Awesome job so far! My husband and I were sleeved on September 11 and we see our surgeon for our six month followup tomorrow. Definitely one of the smartest things we've ever done!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
