Wow, 90lbs check you out and your almost at your goal weight, I bet your super proud of yourself (you should be). I legit can't wait till I get to that point in my journey. I haven't set a goal weight for myself yet.... I hear people complain mostly about the gas after surgery, I brought gas x, strips and pills. So hopefully I will not get as gassy (fingers crossed)..... congrats on being so close to your goal weight... how will you Celebrate this success?

Super proud and so much more confident / happy! You’ll love the journey- it’s amazing. The gas strips didn’t work for me but walking a lot did

Buying new clothes is a constant — but fun. Just as soon as you wear it 2 times they’re too big :). So I’m not sure how I’ll Celebrate? ? Hadn’t thought of it!

We just chose my weight goal— which is pretty much in middle of BMI range for 5’6... i think it’s 125-155?? So I said 140 but ideally 135 so there’s a cushion ;). Who knows - I’m psyched now so everything is gravy at this point . I’m the lightest I’ve been as an adult so that’s incredible!

That's so amazing, I am happy for you. Clothes shopping will be so much fun for me especially because I always try to find excuses to shop and now I will finally have one, lol.. I actually love to walk, so consistently walking won't be a problem for me.... thats a great weight goal, and yes having some cushion is always good, especially in the right places[emoji23][emoji23].

Yea, it took a lot for me to not blow up their phones from constantly checking if I got approved or not. Lol. But I did everything that I was suppose to do, so I was hopeful. But getting your date feels like Christmas.

I miss living in Boston. There's so much to do out there, which helps keep you motivated to do more, especially walking wise.

I had the sleeve done on 12/1/2017. I have lost about 80lb and I still have about 30lb to go. I have been struggling to loose weight for the past month. I have only lost about 2lbs..ugh

80lbs is great... I see there's a few people on here who's weight had stalled for a bit. You'll be back shedding pounds in no time.
