My Progress 1 Year Later

Total Inches lost: Waist: 12.5” Hips: 10”

Progress video of my non scale victories & some before & after photos attached. ☺️

Hi everyone!

I had sleeve surgery on 12/6/23. My weight on the day of surgery was 381, but just a few months prior (October ‘23), I was in the 390s — peaking at 399. ?

I still can’t believe how far I’ve come since then. ? At first, around this time last year, I was a little discouraged that I wasn’t one of those lost 100 lbs in the first 4 months stories. But now, looking back, I’m so proud of the progress I’ve made and those thoughts are long gone. My doctor even said he prefers when patients lose weight a bit slower, since it helps them adjust to their new lifestyle easier and avoid some of the negative side effects like hair loss. I’m happy to say I haven’t experienced any hair loss at all ?‍♀️ and my habits are NIGH and DAY from when I was .5lb shy of 400lbs.

I gotta say being in the 260s feels unreal. My goal weight of 199 doesn’t feel like a far-off dream anymore but now within reach. When I was 399, the idea of weighing 199 felt like a fairytale but now, being just 65 lbs away, it feels like I can see the finish line in the distance and it won’t be long until I cross it! ?‍♀️?

If you made it this far, thanks for reading. ???

Wishing the best to everyone on their own fitness journey. We got this!! ?
