I very rarely post before and after pics, but I feel safer doing it here than I do anywhere else. Since I'm only 9 months out (I was sleeved 6-30-14), I consider myself to be a work in progress and not necessarily at my ultimate "after." I've lost 100 pounds, though, and I'm very happy where I am. I'd like to lose a bit more, but if I was told that I had to stay at exactly the weight I'm at now forever, I'd be blissfully happy.

U look amazing I wish I will look that good at 9 months post lol! I have too much to lose to get there that quickly! Be proud U have done amazing

Thank you! It really doesn't matter how quickly you get there, slow and steady wins the race. I've been feeling great since day 1, and every day after. Just knowing that you're heading in the right direction feels awesome! I know that people get caught up in the numbers, but one of my most monumental victories happened at 3 weeks out, when my husband could finally sleep with me again because I wasn't snoring loudly enough to wake the dead! I hadn't lost that much at that point, but my health and quality of life (sleep apnea) was already improving dramatically.

That's a brilliant thing to happen, I am a single mum and my biggest thing has been I cud get into a pair of trousers i hadn't worn in 3 years I was so happy! Did u have any times where U wud put a few lbs on?? I weighed tonight and I put on 2kg yet I haven't been eating wrong or anything and I am so confused

Of course my weight has gone up at times, particularly around "that time" of the month. 3-4 pounds is not unusual, but it usually goes back down by the next week. Also, you mentioned that you weighed yourself at night... Personally, when I weigh myself at night, it's ALWAYS 3-4 pounds more than it is in the morning. I very rarely weigh myself at night, for that reason.
