I am quite a bit older than you, taller, and started at a considerably higher BMI and weight than you. But, I am fairly close to your weight now (I am down over 200 pounds from my highest weight).

I was sleeved April 20, 2015.

Best of luck with your surgery!

I'm doing great. I only am going to weigh in at my monthly check ups. I did a 10lb loss in 10 days post op at my first check in. My clothes are not tight anymore, so I go back the 23rd and I feel like I lost 20ish pounds from last check up already. So by the 23rd I would expect a 25lb loss from the last weigh in.

You'll do great! Only regret was not doing this sooner.

Thank you. I feel great and am regaining my mobility.

My exercise of choice is swimming.

I started with deep Water aerobics and weights and now I do a mix of swimming laps, deep Water aerobics, and water weights: almost all of my exercise is in the pool.

I had a great experience with my surgery, recovery, and progress. It was my first surgery ever so the worst part of the whole process was some delays due to financing issues and the pre-op uncertainty.

Post-op, I had a sore shoulder from gas and a little bit of Constipation.< /p>

The hardest thing was drinking water.

It has already changed my life and it is only going to get better.

Swimming has always been (and remains) the only exercise that I actually enjoy. There is a Water Zumba in my area that I really want to try.

And thank you guys so much for posting! I feel a lot better now that I've heard from you guys :)

      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
