I had my gastric sleeve done January 11th. I weighed 333.1lbs.

I'm 10 months post op now and weigh 144.2lbs.

I've set new goal weights as I've gone along...first was just to get under 200lbs, then I thought I wanted my goal weight to be 180lbs. When I got there, I made the crazy goal of 150lbs never thinking I'd make it....but I did. So then I figured my goal would be 145lbs which puts me at a normal bmi...which I haven't been since I was around 10.

Now that I weight 144lbs, I've decided my final goal will 133lbs, which will mean I will have lost a total of 200lbs....and I'll do it, I know I can.

I never thought when I had surgery that weighing in the 130's would even be possible.

I've gone from wearing sizes 5-6x, and 28-30, now I wear smalls and mediums and am a size 8....I would be around a 6 if it wasn't for the large amount of skin I have around my stomach and thighs....but it's a price I'm more than happy to pay.

I've been extremely disciplined this whole 10 months. I can honestly say I've never put a bad food in my mouth...not once. I follow a very low carb diet still, drink about 85oz of Water every day and get in around 80oz of Protein. I take all my required Vitamins daily.

The gym has become a big part of my life. I workout around 5-6 days per week doing a variety of exercising....spin class, step class, yoga, cardio machines....I like doing different things so I don't get bored.

Anyway, because I'm so close to goal, I just wanted to share this. And for the people who have a lot of weight to lose like I did....remember, you can do this! I'm living proof!!

Thank you!

Food favorites?? Can't really say I have any...I basically just eat Protein still. A lot of chicken. Once I get to my goal weight, I'll start to expand my food selections. Right now, I eat pretty boring to tell you the truth

Hi, you sound like you're doing great!

My typical food day is pretty boring. I still eat very low carb.

For Breakfast I have a Protein shake, for lunch and supper 3-4oz of whatever protein i have. Then I have some other protein in the evening, some times a Protein Bar or whatever I have leftover.

I eat a lot of chicken, usually chicken breast seasoned in different ways. Or chicken salad is good too.

I also eat a lot of shrimp and fish.

Sorry I'm not much help in the food idea area!
