So, I m down to 198 and feeling amazing, my husband and I started walking Monday and I felt so good, my legs were not rubbing together, I was able to keep up with him and I even noticed my shadow casted in front of me it was smaller, I did not have the broad shoulders or apple shape in front of me! It felt Soooooooooo Goooooooood! We walked 2 miles and did it again on Tuesday, Wednesday got rained out but we also celebrated 25 years of wedding bliss! WooHooo! Thursday, doctor's appointment and he was so happy of the weight loss! He also decreased my blood pressure medication in half! I also have went from a size 22W to a regular 14. I have to say it again, "I Feel Sooooooo Goooooood!"

I have my five-year anniversary in four days!! doing well. Initially got down to into the 130s but gained 15-20 lbs in year 3 (10 of which I was OK with - with my large frame and musculature, 130s was too light for me). I stabilized at 150 for a couple of years, but last fall I was abroad for a month, then came back in time of the holidays, and then the pandemic hit, so I managed to get up to 160. I'm working on getting back down to 150 as that's where I feel best. It's happening but S-L-O-W going. Who knew how hard it would be to lose a measly 10 lbs? anyway, overall it's been a great success and I'd do it over again 1000 times... Shouldn't have waited so long to take the plunge!

Thanks with all that weight I was tired lol Sent from my SM-A205U using BariatricPal mobile app

I am having mine 6/12! 😊

Sleeve.. Im a women traveling alone. In hopes to find someone to run around with after our surgery. Rather it's shopping or beach.

How exciting, Miss. Moxie! You will do fabulous in the months and year ahead. 15 pounds off during this pandemic - PRICELESS - not to be eating your way out of this crisis. A true test of your commitment to the long term (not easy or quick fix) goals, right!?! Definitely do take before pictures. They will serve to empower, inspire and keep you focused - As well as, reinforce your resolve that you never wish to be weighed down again! I lost a total of 142 pounds to date. Here was my start point. But, I did once peak at 298. So ashamed it got that out of control with menopause, metabolic disease and of course, my share of indulgences. We reside in West Palm Beach. My hometown is State College, Penn State, PA. However, I attended U of Miami with a degree in interior design - so, Florida is an adopted home for many years. Do share your progress. So excited for you! ;]

Thank you for following up. Glad to hear you are doing well.  My band was removed (after 8 years) in March and I will be getting sleeved soon.

All this support is awesome! I'm also fresh out of surgery (2 days). FFmedicgrl, I'm sorry to hear about your throat pain. I've experienced that in other surgeries, and it's a terrible complication. Hopefully that part improves soon. I am having a hard time taking in liquid too, but it's because every time I do, my shoulders and chest start hurting terribly. Yesterday, I tried to get in an ounce of Gatorade every 10 minutes, but only reached about 12 ounces before it gave me bouts of diarrhea. Since then, I can take in very little without pain. Could I have messed something up yesterday?

Mine is scheduled for June 8th
