I was on this site a while back but I forgot my username. So here I am again! My name is Tiffany, I'm 31, I was sleeved 13 months ago. Best decision of my life! I started my journey at 258 lbs. I was sick, my dr told me to check out the program offered through my insurance. I was reluctant but once I started attending the weekly classes I knew the sleeve was gonna be for me. I am 13 months post op, I reached my goal weight at 8 months post op. Since then I've gone on to lose another 13 lbs. My current weight is 132. I couldn't be happier with my success. Here's a few pictures from the journey me at my biggest! 258 lbs

Thru the process

the day I came home from vacation and realized I had lost 6 pounds and was under my goal weight! The first picture is from Hawaii vacation 2013.

Face to face one year apart

Almost one years difference

You look wonderful! I hope you feel really good since all of the weight loss. Are you continuing to take your Vitamins?

When you mentioned that you don't drink your Protein, that concerns me because I do since I'm a vegetarian. I do eat cheese, eggs, tofu, and almonds. I haven't had my surgery yet.@@tpoor25

Before surgery I could drink any protein and it didn't bother me. After surgery every single protein caused vomiting, diarrhea, and the worst stomach pain I've ever had. I get the same way if I eat Protein Bars. I tried to substitute the bars in place of the shakes, I love protein bars. But I couldn't handle them either. I still try bars here and there, I always end up sick. My sleeve just isn't tolerate of that type of protein.

@@tpoor25, yikes! at least you know what you can and cannot eat. Hoping you have continued success!

You are definitely an inspiration. My weight when I started the pre op diet is the same as yours was. I'm scheduled for surgery Dec2.
