You look beautiful, and I agree with the much younger comments, too. You & I are almost identical in our pace...my surgery was on June 19, I'm down 34 lbs since surgery, 53 lbs from highest weight just before preop diet. I can't always see the difference in the mirror, but photos definitely help. Congrats to you on great progress!

Wow! We really are right on the money with our progress. I hadn't realized how much weight it was until I found that picture that somehow did not end up deleted. I always deleted the unflattering pictures, which was most of the time. I didn't realize I was that big. I never felt that big. In the mirror I saw something else and refused to face reality. I always felt confident and walked with pride. I still feel confident and walk with pride, but through a healthier and happier me!

Congrats in your weight loss and progress! I wish you the best my fellow June sleeve sister!!!

I am definitely a "slow" loser' date=' but I am VERY HAPPY with my weight loss! 33 pounds down since June 18th, and about 52 pounds from highest weight. I eat clean, healthy food 95% of the time (cheat day is on Sunday); one hour of cardio 5-6 days a week; weight lift 2 days a week (I want to do more, but difficult with schedule), divided by upper body and lower body, heavy weight/low reps, both isolation and compound lifts.

I LOVE my sleeve, LOVE the restrictions, and I especially LOVE that when I do occasionally slip the bad stuff, I'm full after 3-4 bites!

Wait, did you find the fountain of youth as well. You look amazing!

Curious how you are doing? I remember being impressed by your weight loss and pics when I first signed on here. You said you were a slow loser but 30 something lbs in 2 months is awesome. Where are you at now; if you don't mind my asking? I am finally scheduled for jan 27 and very curious about people's experiences.

I'm doing very well, thank you! I am 6 1/2 months out, weighing in at 165 pounds. That's 82 pounds down from my highest weight, and about 65 pounds from surgery weight. Actually I went shopping today (or yesterday since it's 3 AM, lol!) and I bought a size 8 dress!!! So, I think I'm doing fabulous!

I'm excited for you! Good luck with your upcoming surgery. Follow your surgeons instructions as best as you can post op. Remember that your tummy will be swollen and healing, but any hardship you endure post-op quickly passes! It'll be over before you know it and you'll be a thinner, healthier you in no time! The hardest part for me was getting the fluids down, but those sf Popsicles saved my life! Again, good luck!!!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
