I’m starting to see the big differences. Felt it for a while, but now how a visual! Loving it. My wife has lost a good bit too!! She eats what I eat and it’s also helped her.

Yo better call your Dr. if the color isn't on the pee chart.

Both look good. So what was starting weight and current weight. How long you been on journey

Great job! Congratulations.

My surgeon recommends the sleeve for anyone who has no GERD issues.

Mine was 2 events that happened within a couple weeks of each other. Back in 2009 I was diagnosed at the age of 40 with TNBC, which is automatically a stage 3 and is mandatory chemo. After a year of chemo and radiation (guess who actually managed to GAIN 40 pounds while on a year of chemo-yup, this girl) I decided that I was never again going to get cancer. I fought so dang hard for my life and knowing that the #1 risk factor for cancer is obesity, I vowed to lose weight. And I did. I spent the following 3 years running 10-15 miles/week, going to the gym, hiring a personal trainer, and religiously logging food and eating under 1600 calories/day. I lost 40 pounds in those 3 years. Then I got laid off of my job, had a a death in the family and loads of stress. Regained the 40 pounds in under 8 months. Fast-forward to January 2018. I went in for a mammogram and I had several enlarged lymph nodes, so my oncologist was convinced I had lymphoma. Also in January we had a family girls trip to universal Orlando and I fully had to sit out of half the rides because I couldn’t fit. Okay so I didn’t have lymphoma, but that scare along with the family trip convinced me something had to give. I still took many months talking to health care professionals and doing my homework and making sure I was truly ready to make this leap, but on 2/6 this year I was sleeved. Since then, I’m down 20 pounds. And down 35 overall from when I started. HW: 259 SW: 244 CW: 223 GW: 150 Height is 5’6.5

I certainly would be.

Congratulations on your surgery!!! Sorry to hear about those other troubles though. Keep us updated!!! Sent from my SM-N950U using BariatricPal mobile app

I am in fact a redhead and my nickname used to be Che

Well I started stage 2 diet yesterday, but I have to go back liquids for a couple days. Due to it feeling like there is food getting stuck. So my doctor said to go back on liquids for a couple more days. [emoji20] Sent from my SM-J701M using BariatricPal mobile app
