    Congratulations, that's some serious weight loss! When I started, I needed to lose about 200 lbs. Always encouraging to me, to see people with the sleeve having such great success reaching their goals

Wow! You give me such hope! I get my surgery on Thursday and have been getting more nervous. Of course I'm nervous about the surgery itself and the whole getting used to my new living, but I also have been really nervous about the skin! You look great! Any tips/strategies you can give?

@@RDHender I totally know what you mean about the skin. I guess I should start trying to adapt more to the, "one day at a time", I have seen many vids on youtube and the belly is the worse. Let's think about how great we will feel though! Our feet will thank us, our knees for sure :D Oh, and those fabulous clothes you will be wearing too. I know what a dif it was from 332 lb to 248 lb....I feel the 20 I gained back over the past few months. So ready to get back down, and keep going down. I can't believe the dif those currently 17lb back up feel. Looking forward to this journey. FIVE WEEKS from today is the big day.

I've lost a total of 120 pounds, but I feel like I can eat way more than I used to. I had my surgery in May 2013, and kept the weight off, but now I notice that I can definitely eat more and drink more than before.

Great pic! Since you had this back in 2013, do you still weigh, measure, and stick to the macros (Protein, low carb, etc)? Is it becoming more of a struggle at this point? You look fabulous.

Starting weight was 356

Current weight 176.3

On the 25th of October it will be 16 months since surgery for me!

I think my skin heeling quickly has a lot to do with my age, (19)

Seeing people that I knew from high school that don't recognize me at all is my most favorite thing lol
