162 lbs in a year!

1 year ago today I had my vertical sleeve surgery! What a great year it has been! I've lost 162 pounds and went 14 pounds below my goal weight! I feel like a new person.

So.... I just have to ask...Are you guys doing the 600-800 calories a day recommended by the vets in this forum???

[Michellemo 161]

I eat about 800 calories a day. It's really all I can handle or want.

Congrats!!! You give me hope that I can reach my goal! I started out a little heavier than you, I'm down about 105 pounds but the scale has STOPPED moving. I am 5 months out and frustrated (more with myself). I haven't been doing the things that I know I should consistently lately but am back on track as of this week. Seeing that you have made your goal in a year gives me hope that I can at least come close before my year is up! Thanks for sharing!!!
