Hi Friends,

I had my gastic sleeve surgery on July 30th, 2018. I started out at 297 pounds, as of today I have lost 122 pounds and can not even begin to tell how much better my life is.

Last year on was on oxygen 24 hours a day, never left my house..Just getting bigger and bigger and in and out of the hospital constantly. I could not stand the way I looked and my hubby had to fight with me just to go out to dinner or anything. This was going on for more then 10 years and 99 percent of the time he always went everywhere alone.

Depression was severe..When I had to stop working and went on disability things only got worse. Then I was put in Medicare and found out they would cover the surgery..And with in 3 months I was headed to the OR...

I still have alot of back problems, but I feel amazing..I have a ways to go to hit my goal..But I am beyond amazed how good it has been!!20190112_082057.jpeg FB_IMG_1545439192739.jpeg FB_IMG_1545534572296.jpeg

Hi Sunflower! You must be so proud and congratulations being free of any oxygen apparatus. You are an inspiration to us all. I wonder if working with a physical therapist as per surgeon's permission might work out the residual back issues? You are certainly standing here strong and lean. And, hopefully, enjoying a few dinner dates with hubby. ;]

      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?

      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
