Today, 05/07/18, is the day I hit my weight goal! 194.8 as of this morning. Still have some work to do, and can definitely lose more, but to be able to say that, is quite refreshing. Now I will turn my focus to adding some muscle and hopefully lose the little belly that is still there!

Keep up the good work all of you!

Finally made it to 100+ pounds (46+ kg) off in just under 10 months after I first met the surgeon.

That's 7 months since surgery and over 30 kg (66 pounds) lost.

The attached pic is a selfie taken on the bus home from the Australian movie "Breath" two days ago.

A much thinner face but a fair bit of loose chin skin.

Any other October sleevers trying to maintain weight at this point? What's working for you? I've started to increase complex carbs (fruit) and strength training. Waiting to see how it goes. Feeling good where I am and don't want to lose anymore.

I am very happy with my progress. I am 5'10" and I am down to 179....I have lost 84 lbs in 7 months...which is pretty awesome. However, I have some hair thinning. Luckiy, I started with very overly- thick wavy/curly/somewhat frizzy hair. Now, it is thinning, and looks fairly normal, only because I had way too much hair to begin with. It is pretty dry & frizzy, mostly the ponytail and ends (I have past the shoulder lentht hair)

What has anyone found that helps this? I have read that after 6 mos or so it should start to come back? I really don't think it is super noticeable, I am hoping the fact that my whole face and body have changed takes away the noticeability that I used to have full, crazy thick hair (think 1980's rocker-hair bands!) and now it is more like a regular/slightly thin look....but yeah, dry and frizzy. i really notice it when shampooing, it feels like I have hardly any hair!

Any tips?

Sleeved 10/26/17 and feeling great 100 lbs gone forever. I've got zero regrets I wish I'd have done this years ago. I've recently had issues taking Vitamins in pill form. It seems my tummy don't like them at all. The pain has been excruciating other than that I've had zero complications.
This thread is great you're all a true inspiration. Rock on October Sleeves you all look amazing!!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
