Feeling ecstatic about the doors the sleeve has opened for me! I'm (slowly) losing weight and getting more active. This last week I climbed a 60 foot tall rock wall and went zip lining! A few months ago, I never thought I'd do either of those things lol Wishing I was losing faster, but my surgeon and nut have me eating 900-1200 calories a day with all the exercise I'm doing.

I don't know what is going on, but I am dropping weight like crazy since I broke that last stall. 8/7- 181 8/10- 177.4 8/11- 176 8/13- 174 8/14- 173.5 Is it a coincidence that I was eating mainly plant based on my week long camping trip, (we don't serve meat on any church activities), and decided to go fully whole foods plant based a few days after returning? I am really beginning to believe my body is telling me something here. I guess time will tell. I am starting to look ahead to maintenance as I think it is closer than I thought. I am now thinking that 150 may be to too low for me. when I hit 160 I will re-evaluate my goal. One thing I have noticed about eating this way is that I get fuller faster. It doesn't seem like that would be true, but it is. Maybe it is just because the foods are less calorie dense, but I have to eat more often to get the same amount of calories in as before and I feel fuller faster. Anyway, so far so good. I feel really good and I am confident that I found the best diet that will be sustainable long term.

Six months post-op and 90 pounds lost! I'm so happy with the weight loss, but I still can't help wishing it was 100 pounds instead. I still need to find time to do my measurements and take some photos though - I'm leaving for Hong Kong tomorrow morning, so am pretty busy cleaning and packing before I go.
