It has been 5 months and I am so surprised at what a 5 months it has been. I have learned more about my body in the last few months that I ever knew in my previous 40+ years. I have learned the best foods for me, which ones keep me satisfied longer, which ones disagree with me and the ones that hinder weight loss. I am also learning how to leave food on my plate. Some things are easier to learn (portion sizes) while others are still an issue (remembering to eat slowly).

I have lost 84.6 overall….61.4 pounds since surgery…. and a combined total of 46 inches. As of today I am also officially in the overweight category. I am off my blood pressure and cholesterol medicine and my thyroid meds have been reduced. My knees and back feel better and I have so much energy!

I have a lot to be thankful for but today I am most thankful that my husband has taken over the thanksgiving meal duty!

It’s mind blowing isn’t it. I still think ‘how did I not know this before?’ & I’m still discovering things at 2 & a half years out.

Congratulations on your progress & successes so far. (And for getting your hubby on Thanksgiving duties. ?) Whoo hoo!!

Congratulations! I really like how you communicated effectively for yourself to get a change to happen in your household! It’s amazing all the things you can do now, Weightloss and beyond.

Congratulations! I'm 5'9 and my starting weight was right around the same as yours. I was sleeved on December 08 and have already dropped weight- hoping that I too can reduce my thyroid medications and get rid of my sleep apnea machine once I drop under 200 lbs. Best of luck moving forward!

Congratulations!! This makes me so happy for you! Especially that you‘re bettering your relationship with food. Thats huge!

I‘m curious. Have you had any weight stalls? I‘m plus/minus around the same time as you and I‘m currently in my second three week long ish stall ?
