I just had to come back and post because I never thought I’d see this weight again! But with my new tool anything seems possible now :D keep going November friends! We got this!

Nice!!! Congrats!
Did my first ever 5K today! I didn’t get to do as much running as I could have because my kids couldn’t keep up but I finished quicker than I thought! Can’t wait to do another one!

Keeping this thread alive with another progress pic! Most days when I look in be mirror I don’t see the change as much, but when I make these side by side pictures, I can’t NOT see it.

Everyone doing OK? Any 6 month struggles? I have 20lbs to go and it is much slower, but otherwise all is well. Aside from the hair loss I guess. Man that can stop anyyyyyy day now ?

You look amazing!! Congrats!

I haven’t taken a picture recently but I’m gonna try to take one this week. I’ll be 7 months out on the 14th- I’ve lost 104.2 lbs since surgery! I’ve got 27.4 lbs to go until I hit my goal. It’s definitely coming over slower now but that’s fine! I’ve gotten myself into a good routine with food and exercise and I’m happy with that. I just want to lose that last 27.4 lbs before I hit one year out!

I’m also over the hair loss. I’d love some regrowth now!
I haven’t checked in since probably December/January but I had my VSG on 11/21 and I’m down 75 lbs. Here is my day of and yesterday pictures.

Nice job, everyone. I just had my six-month check-up and am down 58 pounds. I know that's slower than a lot of others here, but just want to encourage those those who are slower losers like me that my doctor and my NUT were very pleased with that loss. Keep up the good work, everyone.

Hello I’m a June 18 sleever, you are all doing great. I was wondering if any of you are able to share your hair pics? and any other information you are willing to share.

I have very fine hair now, and not a lot of it, so I’m expecting to loose my hair. I’m going to invest in a wig, maybe 2 for the fall out/grow back stage.

I don’t have any hair pictures, mine looks the same to most people. Only I get the joy and knowledge of pulling it out of my hair brush and shower drain daily ? everyone’s hair loss is different though.

I don’t have any hair pics but at around 3 months PO mine started falling out by the fistful. I had thick hair that I straitened once it started coming out it became easier to manage when I left it wavy. Nobody could tell it happened because I changed the look of my hair. I’m almost 7 months PO and my hair loss is back to my normal rate and I have a lot of whispy new growth.
Hey everyone!! Hope this finds us all doing good!! Here is my side by side so far!! Getting ready to start adding an exercise routine! God Bless!!

Hey November’s! Anyone having a duodenal switch or considering it? My hiatal hernia that was repaired during surgery is back with a vengeance and, since I am down only 40 lbs, am considering the DS at the same time. Any advice? Thanks!

Here is my most updated picture. The bottom right is my heaviest weight of 398, the top right is in January, and the left is current. I was 336 the day of my surgery,  November 15, and I am down to 229 now. ?. Great job fellow sleevers!!!! ❤️
