I had my sleeve surgery in 2012. I weighed 275. My goal was 200. I reached that goal within a few months.

it is 13 years later. I have been careful and worked at it. I am 65 now and still 200 pounds.

IT WORKS!

Congratulations maintaining your weight. What is your secret to a healthier life?

I love a success story. Have you gone up and down by much over the last decade or so, or held really steady?

And yes, if you have any particular tips we would love to hear them.

Kudos on maintaining for so long - that is THE goal for all of us here.

So good to hear success stories, especially one that has lasted so long! Way to go! What was your biggest change that you still rely on?

I still quit when I feel full, I lay off carbs, and I walk 5 miles a day

Nope. I have stayed between 195 and 200. I still quit when I start feeling full. Walk 5 miles a day and no carbs.

Congratulations!
