2 years!

[FishingNurse 1,211]

Wow, time flies! I am 2 years post op... My story: I started in the 260's..... made my very modest weight loss goal (170lbs) in 9 months and have been maintaining fairly easily since, (a few ups and downs!) At one point I was up 7-8 pounds but I am currently holding within 2 pounds of my low weight. I was eating sliders for sure, I caught myself and got back on track with normal eating. I still have hunger, I only lost it for about 4 months. I still have fair restriction, but sliders are almost as easy to eat as before. I eat anywhere between 1500-2000 calories a day to maintain. I don't eat low carb, but I try to fuel my body healthily. Don't get me wrong, I still eat cheezits and cookie dough for dinner sometimes! I drink 2-3 beers per week, and drink sparkling Water everyday, no troubles with carbonation. I bike or slowly jog/ walk a few days a week. Nothing crazy. I have a fairly active job as a RN. I have ZERO loose skin BUT I am 170 pounds, so if i wanted to see 130 pounds I might run into that problem. I wear as size 12 and mediums and some larges. (pre-op I was 2x and 24 easy) I would like to maintain my weight for another year then try to lose 10 more pounds. I am super happy, best decision I have ever made to get the sleeve. I am 30 years old and weigh less today then I did when I was 12 years old!

I am very grateful for this website, I have been on nearly everyday for the past 2 1/2 years, and I will keep coming back to help keep me in track!

These are the stories I love to read, so thank you for sharing.

No disappointment at unattainable goals, happy and healthy and enjoying life. I love your outlook at moderation and that you measure your success with what works for you not with some magazine idea of what real women are.

Congratulations.

Thank you!! I was lucky, my surgeon was honest and told me to shoot for 175 with the sleeve and that would be a good result. He advised if I wanted to weigh 130lbs I should get the RNY, but my quality of life and health might not be as good. I feel normal ! That's all I wanted!

Love this, thank you! You look beautiful in you pictures, the before and the afters. I have the same goal with my sleeve surgery scheduled in two weeks. I have been holding at 200 for a few years and honestly I'm happy! Life is so much better than it was at 255 for 10+ years. My sleeve goal is 170, I am so looking forward to the journey. The last time I weighed 170 was a short time in high school as I steadily gained weight.

Thanks again for the great post and pictures!

You look great!

I am sorta discouraged now. I started at 264 and I want to to be 130.

I am 186 now and a size 12 and med-large tops and that's not good enough for me. I carb rotate and shock my body and fast and do all the things your supposed to keep the weight coming off but not to be 130 might be so discouraging!

I am so happy you look great and are happy where you are!

everyone is different. The reason I don't want to be 130 is I would have to diet and constantly worry and count calories. Regain would be a constant worry and battle for me. There are tons of sleevers that make it down to normal weight! Don't give up. How far out are you?
