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

@@Ale Nunez, Thank you!!! Happy one and a half month surgiversary I hope things are going great for you and your finding your swing. I didn't think I could be a motivation to anyone, especially regarding weight but the sleeve has been an amazing tool for me and I know it will be for you too

@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!!!

      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?

      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
