I had my sleeve done Aug. 27, just looking for people to chat with about how things are going.

I have stalled for the last month and am actually okay with it. My doctor laughed at me when I explained that I was tired of clothes shopping.

I started this journey at 348. I dropped about 25 pre-surgery. I'm down to right at 200 now. I enjoy being a 14/16....buying an occasional Large. I've size out of Lane Bryant/Catherine's and it feels beyond weird.

My husband had his surgery this last May. He's already lost close to 120. I love him and hate him at the same time. LOL

Sleeved August 3 2015

Just got back from my 1 year ( more like 13 months????)

Shoulder 42 down 4.5

Chest 36 down 11

Waist 27 down 18

Hip 42 down 15.5

Thigh 22 down 6

Bicep 11 down 4

Weight 182.6( was 319)

I was sleeved on 8/11 and I am eating regular foods just feeling my way through see what I can and can't tolerate sticking to meat and veggies for the most part... Although I went out of town for 2 days and went to some restaurants for the first time since surgery and really couldn't eat much but I did go off course a bit with my choice of food not to mention a few cocktails but I was drinking plenty of water and did plenty of walking after each meal. Still tryna figure things out

SW-348

CW-201.8

Just had my husband released from the hospital after 4 days, he fell from a chair he had fallen asleep on (has terrible sleep apnea that has caused narcolepsy) and broke his front tooth and some ribs... the worst part??? His blood sugar was 340. New diagnoses of diabetes!!! He has been my reason for fighting for this again!!! I stalled at about 8 months post op for 3 months!!! Honestly stopped trying after that, but this incident quickly reminded me why I had surgery in the first place!!!

Still 10 lbs from here !!!! And a bit of regain slash bounce ...... I need to eat more chicken and cheese

Happy post Thanksgiving everyone! I hope everyone made it through the holiday while keeping macros on point! I made sure I had turkey, ham, and greens. I even had a small slice of my grandmother's sweet potato pie but no guilt here because I've been working out consistently 4 days a week and taking a Body Pump Strenth training class 2x a week. I love my results. My body is changing so drastically (stomach getting flatter, booty getting bigger lol). For the longest my scale wasn't moving. I started fasted cardio in the AM and the Body Pump Classes twice a week and I'm a whole new woman! Strength training is where it's at. I'm not at goal yet and I have a plan to get there by April 2017 but what I realized most is slow and steady for toning and building muscle. It takes time and commitment but doesn't everything in life?
