I've been guilty of not checking in recently as well! I was sleeved on 2/19/13,

HW 396

SW 380

GW 225 - 205 - 198 (it kept changing)

CW 192 - 196 ( I fluctuate )

It's been a crazy journey for sure, it's been hard for me to stabilize and quit losing. I've upped my calorie intake to 1500, and if I exercise (which I do 5 times a week) I eat more so I have a net 1500. That seems to have helped it. I don't crave the carbs like I used to which is a blessing but I don't deny myself either. I joined Weight Watchers last November with my wife and it's been great. I made lifetime about a month ago and my wife has lost 62 pounds! We're getting healthy for the next half of our lives! I ran (that's right, I RAN) my first 5K with my daughter yesterday. We did it in 38 minutes flat which I'm happy about. It's something I couldn't even have comprehended 200 pounds ago! Crossing that finish line was so empowering for me, and I felt such pride in my accomplishments. It was a great day and I owe it all to my sleeve (and some hard work from me)! In another 6 months I'm going to start looking into plastic surgery for skin removal from the belly and chest, then this will be complete! I love my new life and my new approach to living it! Cheers to being healthy!! Thanks for all of your support and inspiration along the way, you don't know how much you've all helped me! God speed!

Hi gang! I'm still here though I don't post as much as I used to. Like many have said the weight loss is now serious hard work. I bounce between 137-141. Would like to get the last 10 lbs off and hit my ultimate goal of 130 but as long as I don't gain, I would honestly be happy if the scale never moved again. Maintenance is hard work as old habits want to reemerge. I still weigh daily but have been thinking about quitting the scale and focusing on cleaning up the diet this summer. Miss those early post op days! :-) It's great to hear everyone is well and at or close to their goals. Please continue to check in from time to time, it keeps me focused and motivated.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      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.
