Thanks guys! I've barely exercised since my surgery so I weigh less, but I'm out of shape now lol.

Do you have any physical ailments preventing you from exercising? If not, you should definitely start trying to fit in more exercise or at least physical activity. It will be critical in maintenance and likely make losing the last 50 pounds a little easier too.

Oh yes I completely agree! No the only thing keeping me from exercising is myself. I did workout on Friday and am about to do another workout in just a minute. My goal for this week is to exercise 2x between Monday and Friday and then next week I'll up it to 3x. I think if I try to do much more than that, I'll be too sore to moveI work on the weekends and get about 10,000-16,000 steps in on each of those two days so I think I'm good to go on exercise on Sat and Sun lol

One healthy decision at a time is what I believe.

Well it's been 3 years since I posted, and thought I'd share my experience with those beginning their journey. My surgery was October 31, 2012, and I was 305 pounds. Now I'm 190 pounds. I can eat pretty much as a normal person, but with a small little governor on my stomach. I still avoid breads and starches, because they fill me up so fast. I have completely embraced the healthy fitness oriented lifestyle. Everything in my life is better than before. My piece of wisdom after all this, is that the sleeve will provide a good jump start, but if you don't take ownership of your body, success will be short lived. Good luck to everyone. The first two pics are from 2011, the last is from this week.

      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?
