95 pounds down and counting...



Recommended Posts

Hello fellow sleevers,

I was sleeved on 2/29/16 and I have to say even with some of the minor complications, it was one of the best decisions I have ever made for "myself".

Being a dedicated wife and mom, everyone else became a priority and before I knew it I had ballooned up to around 274 and at 46, it was affecting my health.

Anyway, at my heaviest and while waiting for surgery approval I would browse this website for encouragement and I would find it. I wanted to post my before and after pics to hopefully encourage someone else.

Btw... I am 5'8 and my health has dramatically improved (woo hoo). I would still like to lose another 15-20 pounds...

@@LxA, Thank you! I actually think I'm a pretty slow loser (compared to others that were in my Kaiser Wls class) but right now I'm eating 850 calories or less per day. I hope this helps

@@sushi4winks, CongratsThe first 10 days were probably the hardest for me but it was only because I was having trouble keeping anything down, after that though I was good to go. I'm hoping your recovery is quick and easy!!! Good luck and this is a very exciting time for you

@Dub. Your absolutely right, Wls has totally given me a new lease on life...

My hubby begged me for years to ride a motorcycle with him but I always let my weight stop me, well guess who's a "Motorcycle Chick" now hahaha. I'm riding with him and we love doing it together and I'm very thankful for my sleeve.

I truly feel like I'm at least 10 years younger too, I'll be 47 next month and don't feel a day over 35 lol so they're are plenty of positives!!!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      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!!
