I stepped on the scale today and couldn’t believe my eyes - I’m officially down 75 lbs! I had my SIPS (loop DS) with Dr. Roslin at Lenox Hill on July 17, 2917.

The first two months were the hardest but since then it honestly has been relatively easy. I don’t have cravings anymore nor a big appetite, and I feel satisfied with small protein heavy meals. I’ve started cooking more (especially with low carb slow cooker meals that I can turn into freezer meals) and working out 2-3 times a week with a mix of personal training and cardio and interval training classes through ClassPass.

To any of you thinking about having this surgery and are scared or had it and are in a rut...today any pain from my recovery period or challenges on this road (that I still have a long way to go on!) felt like they disappeared. This is so worth it. Not just because of how much better I look or fit in my clothes or small successes from being smaller, like being able to fold my arms or cross my legs or not feel winded just from walking a few blocks...but because I feel like a whole new person inside and out. I have so much more energy, am sleeping better, my skin has even improved, I’m happier, I’m more social, I’m more motivated.

This is worth it.

How fantastic! Your torso is really shrinking fast! Great job!

Congratulations on working hard to get healthy and also on your weight loss success! You are doing great and you can see a big difference. Keep it up!

You look incredible! I hope I'm down 75 in 6 months too. I certainly intend to try.
