My half/double comparison is a little different but I'm quite proud this week.

I started at 174.6kg ... round that off to 175 ...

My target/goal is my so-called natural weight for my height which is about 74.6 kg ... round that off to 75kg.

So, I had a HUNDRED KG to lose to reach approx. 75kg.

So, I was SEVEN-THIRDS (or 2.3333 times) my goal.

This week I passed 25kg lost.

So I am now DOUBLE (or 2.0000 times ) my goal weight.

I have as much to lose as my goal is. 75kg to go to reach 75kg.

I'm half way there. I didn't think I'd get there this fast as I'm a light weight and I was told by my team to expect to go at a snail's pace. I'm now down 58lbs. And I never thought it was possible

..

I have 51lbs to go. Knowing I've lost more than I have to lose makes me believe I will get there one day. And I've said to myself there is no rush. Id like to be at my goal by 12-18 months but im aware the loss gets slower as you get closer.

It's still surreal to think one day I may be in a 'normal' weight bracket.

It's not been a smooth journey for my health not related to the sleeve. But I'm great full for the sleeve curing my high blood pressure and making me more confident. I didn't think I'd look much different between 244 and 186 but people already treat me differently like I'm in a new body.

I am alot saggier than I imagined I'd be. My tummy my butt thighs and top of my arms but I don't mind so much.

Just thought I'd share my experience.. I'm.one of the people that doubted it would work for.me. as nothing else did !

It's odd to say that I'm in a stage were it's so much easier. I don't feel I'm dieting. It's not hard for me to follow my plan seeing my amazing results.. and it's never been easier. When I used to diet I'd starve and struggled. But I'm eating healthy and living my life.

I believe that is the Monitor Your Weight app.

Same here, I haven’t lost as much as you but also probably half way there at 5 months out. I feel like this is doable. I KNOW I could NEVER HAVE DONE THIS without that sleeve. I’m so happy to have this Portion Control. Also losing very slowly, only one stall before 4 months for 2 weeks. It just keeps losing. I’m so happy. People notice, they tell me I can stop losing (They are only looking at my skinny face tho), I never thought I’d be here. I don’t need anything plus sized any more and I can’t bleeping believe it. I just can’t. It’s like a dream.

That's awesome! May I ask which app this is? I like the way the information is laid out.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
