Today is my 1 year surgiversary. It's doesn’t seem like a whole year that went so fast. I'm still dealing with a few issues but overall I am doing very good. And not doubting having the surgery at all. Take care all

Thanks so much on the great reply. I have been telling everyone from the start that it's not so much how much weight I have lost but how I feel and what I can do differently now. And as for all that I am 100 percent there 😁, but looking at everyone's posts over a year post surg I let my mind go there where I feel it's not enough 🤔. I am still working on the balance and I will definitely celebrate my goals so far, no diabetic meds, no heart meds. Ect. Congrats on all your accomplishments 🤜🤛👍🙌.

Hi there, I am 1 year out 4/15 Physically I am doing great all the meds gone walking 1-2 miles a day. Bad thing is I am still 12 pounds away from my goal and no matter what I do I can't get past this. I talked to my surgeon he said cut back on more calories but still hasn't helped. Any suggestions welcome. Thanks

I was already eating starches small amounts of course and spinach wraps and was still losing alot of weight, maybe because I exercise alot more too.? Thanks for your reply. Take care 🙂

How do you stop losing weight? I still have about 20 pounds to go for my goal. But was wondering what happens after that?

Thank you 😊

Has anyone had the fat removal surgery? And could you please explain a little about it. Thank you

I went for my 7th month checkup and surprisely the goal I set for myself according to my surgeon is unrealistic I thought I needed to lose another 40 pounds he said he would be pleased if I lose just 20-25 more. So, Wow I am happy and confused at the same time. Lol. Hope everyone has a great holiday.

So, how was your first time introducing alcohol into your new body?

Sleeping on the couch without half my body hanging off I fit now. 😆

I still honestly can't say if it makes me full I don't get the full feeling like I used too. I have my 7th month check up on the 22nd I will ask the Dr about it? The fact that I'm losing says I'm doing something ok, but is it hurting me in the long term is what I need to know. Will keep you posted. Take Care

Hello, glad to hear you are doing so well. My sleeve was 4/15 I too am doing as well as you in fact we sound so much alike I am finding myself able to eat more which is definitely scary I seem to graze more than I eat meals, but dr said it was OK as long as I eat the right things. I finally hit Wonderland I don't weight myself much at all I go by my clothes and my accomplishments like A1c down from 9 to 6. And pills I was on I don't have to take anymore. I walk the park 4 days a week something I couldn't do before. I have No regrets about the surgery at all. I am still losing hair which is frustrating but hopefully dr said it would stop about now so fingers crossed. Anyway, sorry mine is a long post too. Hang in there all newbies it does get easier down the line. Take Care all.

I know you might not have lost a lot of weight but how do you feel? Everyone always asks how much weight have l lost. I don't weigh myself regularly my surgery was on April 15th but I went from 11 meds to 4 meds, I can walk my dog at the park without getting out of breath after a few steps. My A1C is almost normal. You have to not stress the actual weight loss but the good things that come with the surgery. Hang in there.

Thank you, Matty that was very informative. I am going to try your experiment today. 😁

Thanks, I don't use them much I didn't even pre-surgery, but I was just wondering in case it comes up.
