How long was your journey to goal?

Including HW, SW, CW & any pics. What got you there besides the sleeve. Whats your best tip?

Highest weight and starting weight: 206 lbs

Goal weight: 125 lbs

Current weight: 116 lbs

I'm 5'2". I consider 116 my new "goal" I guess. I'm happy here and don't want to gain even though it is 9 pounds under my original goal weight.

I had surgery January 9, 2013. It took me 10 months to reach original goal of 125. I'm not sure what else got me here besides the sleeve except major determination and willpower.

Thanks Jenny! That's inspirational. My sw was 230 (12/3/13). I'm currently 205. I'm still have that voice in my head saying I will never reach goal.

I hear ya Lumniouslife yesterday was my first drop since week one and more today SD was 12/12/13 am down about 20 pounds pre op too considering I'm only 3 weeks out and gained 6 lbs and started to lose it again. I think I'll be the one that it won't work for

Nearly everyone has a post opgain from all the hospital fluids. It can take a week or more to lose that also.

Another thing is this...we all have many many stalls threwout the whole journey. Im 11 weeks and I've had 2 stalls. Just stay the course, get the mind reset to all positive thoughts and it will happen.

You're far too close to your surgery date to even consider the surgery not working for you.

Positive thoughts and mantras from here on out!
