Such great advice! You look healthy, happy and amazing! Congratulations on your hard work

Offense??? No way!!! I know what you meant. I was an overstuffed teddy bear. I used to be the first one to make fun of myself for being fat (sort of a defense mechanism I guess). Today, I still make those jokes (but only in my head). It's starting to sink in not the fat guy anymore. Btw, my mom said I look 15 years younger too!!! It finally feels like i have the old me back from when I was in my twenties and early thirties when I was in good shape.

How did your surgery go? How are you doing now? Thank you all for the well wishes. The procedure went great Kris77. The worst thing for me after the procedure was feeling nauseous but the meds they gave me helped a bunch. I left the hospital the following day and today was my first day at home. I was able to walk around the block twice today and have taken no pain meds. I feel very good about the way things are going.

My whole life long as I can remember since I watched Christopher Reeves in Superman I've been obsessed. I've bought multiple shirts with the big 'S' on front but most only go up to X or 2X so that's my dream to wear one of them and possibly have a nice chest to fill it out 😀 Up up and away!!

Hello, I am in your same boat x2 I originally had band place in 2005. Then revised in 2014, however it failed me again. Converted to sleeve on 02/18/2019. Hope it goes well for both of us post lap banders.

Amazing 100lbs with sleeve

hey guys..... been a long time. Update: We are nearing a conclusion on the propery settlement with my ex.... it's been two longggg years. It will be two years March that my beloved Tina (my band) has been gone. Not going to lie, keeping the weight off has been HARD... but still chugging along. Weight is at 155ish.... but I joined Crossfit and my body is becoming more leaner and stronger. I didn't realize how weak i had become. I really thought id die doing crossfit.... but i have really started to love it.... I know... but i do. Two weekends ago... i bought my very first wedding dress.... (picture attached). I know i was married twice but both were when i was prego... and never had one. This is the last time, so im doing it right. We are going to Jekyll Island Club Resort.... Looks like September 2019.... Thursday the 7th we leave for a short mini vaca to San Pedro.... and then the Honeymoon May 15-24 is in Italy.... Venice, Florence and then Rome. I know we are doing it backwards, the the trip was planned first. Miss you guys..... if anyone wants to fb me or Instagram or email.....

Thank you, girl!!! Starting to notice it myself. It's taken a while to feel like I look different in the mirror!

That’s so cute! I can’t wait to confidently wear things like that.

when I was where you are, I'd lost 28 lbs (16 lbs the first month,12 lbs the second). I was a slow loser the whole time, but I ended up losing over 200 lbs. Everyone's rate of weight loss is different depending on so many factors (age, gender, starting BMI, metabolic rate, etc). Your commitment to your program is going to have a MUCH greater impact on your eventual success than your rate of weight loss will, though. So just stick to your program, follow the rules, and the weight will come off, either fast or slow.
