6 Month Surgiversary W/ Pics!



Recommended Posts

Yesterday was my 6 mo. surgiversary date and, oh, how life has changed...

  • At my highest weight I was 238 - I lost 33 lbs. before my pre-op diet, then 10 on pre-op diet, and now another 48 since surgery for a total of 91 pounds gone forever
  • At 5'7, I'm just 5 lbs. from my personal goal of 140
  • I have gone from not wanting to get off the couch to regularly hiking 5 miles several days a week (and enjoying it!). I'm doing a 10 mile hike Sunday!
  • I eat about 1000 calories a day and I'm fully satisfied with that amount of food
  • Instead of a size 16-18 and 1x, I'm a size 4-6 pants and small tops
  • I love to shop for clothes now
  • I'm far more social and enjoy getting out and participating in life
  • I feel so much better about myself
  • It hasn't always been an easy journey, but I love my little sleeve of a stomach and the life it has helped me to create for myself!!!

I'll post a before pic of me at my highest weight (238) and a few from this morning at 145. Sorry, was in a hurry and haven't done my hair yet, but wanted to post anyway.

I remember spending weeks just pouring over success stories and I couldn't wait until I could join them and be a "normal" weight! I lived and breathed this forum because I was so excited to be having the surgery. It's hard to believe in just 6 short months I might be an inspiration to others. WOW - thank you for telling me that!

Oh my goodness, thank you for mentioning that because I almost made a video today. I had it all set up and then realized I was late for a doctors appointment. Now that you wrote what you did, I'm going to make one before the weekend is out! XO

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
