Hey, my name is Stephanie! I was sleeved June 14th 2016 and went from 300 lbs to 228 lbs as of today!! I have a long road to go to get to 135 lbs. But I'm glad I got this surgery. After the surgery I was put in a hospital room over night. Immediately I was off my diabetic medication. I was on my BP med for a couple weeks, but my blood pressure was getting back to normal. I was off almost all the meds I needed for medical reasons. My blood sugars are 80 in the morning and in the 80's before bed. I'm in great health. My sleep apnea has improved. I had to have the pressure dropped from 12cm to 5cm. Atm I am slacking on exercises. I will be walking in the house more because it's raining here. Anyways here are some pics... post-256625-14776342177192_thumb.jpg post-256625-14776342402475_thumb.jpg

Purple shirt was at 300# and the tank top was at 230 something. I haven't taken a recent pic in a few days.

Awesome!!!! You look great, and must be feeling so much better! Congrats on your success! I'm 6 weeks post op from sleeve surgery. Started at 388lbs. Down 38lbs so far. I've got some major struggles with being nauseous all the time, but hope it will work itself out. Can't wait to be where you are now. Continued success to us both

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
