Wow you have done an amazing job!! Congrats!

Not a chance..

Congrats!! Way to go!

Oh we have all sorts of things planned. Including some time a a water park!! Can not wait.

At my largest which was 418 pounds 4XLT Shirts and 54 pants Today 219 Pounds Large Shirt 36 Pants but I think I may be a 34 as the 36's are slightly loose.

I am an emotional eater too. For me it is the fact that I never really get hungry as well as there is only so much I can fit in my stomach. These help me stay focused on insuring I put the right things in my mouth. Can you eat around your sleeve. Absolutely you can. That being said though you have to have the mindset that you will not have such a drastic surgery and just ruin it by eating incorrectly.

Thanks!!

Thanks for all of the kind words!

That will be great for you and your son and I am sure you will both cherish those moments! I have not been Bass fishing in forever. Mostly have done salt Water fishing. A few years ago I went on a guided trip for Yellow Fin and that sorta ruined me for most other fishing. It was unreal! I want to go again now that I have lost weight because I was wrecked after catching 2 of those things.

Nice job! Congrats on the success!

Thanks Kathy! It is amazing the journey we go on with this sleeve..

I know how you feel. I have a 3 year old at 38 so getting the weight off has been huge. Good luck to you!

Better for sure! No regrets at all!

So sorry for your loss! Stay strong!

The below picture is what I looked like at my highest of 418 and where I am as of last night at 219. I showed this picture to my 3 year old daughter last night and asked her who the guy on the left is. Naturally she said "thats daddy". I asked her who is the guy on the right and she said "I dunno who is it?" She genuinely did not recognize that as me. Folks that right there is why I had this surgery. I did not want my daughter to know the fat unhealthy me. And guess what I accomplished it. This was a huge win for me in this journey and it mad me very happy.

Thanks all!

Sure thing. I am 6'3".

Thanks.!!! I think I fixed the picture issue... Maybe.

Welcome to the forum! Looks like you have done really well with your sleeve. How many calories are you taking in each day? This may help in figuring out the next 15 pounds you want off. You could be eating either too much or too little. What about your water intake. Water is a huge factor as well in your weight loss.
