Yesterday was my one year surgiversary of the sleeve. I was so nervous about it, but it was one of the best decisions I've made. I've lost 131 pounds and counting. My foot pain is gone, I'm active and feel great. I've gone from a size 22 to an 8 and actually enjoy shopping now. I'm able to do any activities my kids ask of me. I couldn't be happier!

You look fantastic!

Thank you!

Wow amazing!! 130 is what I want to lose. How is the excess skin?? That worries me the most, especially being single.

Surprisingly it's not that bad. It's mostly my inner thighs and that's easy to hide. My tummy isn't that bad, of course if I could afford it I would get surgery. I think your worst areas will have the most loose skin and for me that was my thighs. Also I am 41.

Awesome!!! Did you hit many stalls?? How many calories did you try to stay at? People keep telling me I'm eating too few calories and that's why I am in a stall?? Should I up my calories?? I'm so confused!! My doc said three meals a day and Protein first then veggies the carb if room ( there never is room) haha any advice? I go to the gym.. Was doing the circuit and treadmill but people tell me because I'm not eating enough my body is just feading off my muscle... Ugh!! I can't win!! I just want to hit onederland and wear a nice dress and look good for my sons wedding in October! Hah well... And be healthy!! So.... Ya..... So you have any advice!?? Anything will help! : ) did I say you look awesome? Haha Thanks for sharing!!

Yes I hit lots of stalls some lasting three weeks. My calories after about the six month mark hovered around 900-1000 I guess that's pretty high by sleeve standards. I exercises every day and sometimes I don't eat as clean as I should but for the most part I've been really diligent especially with Protein. My advice get a calorie tracking app like my fitness pal and track everything! It has helped so much. Also, if you feel too much hunger and some pain the tendency is to blame acid and treat it accordingly. I did this for six months then the pain became unbearable last week so I went to the ER. I found out I had multiple gallstones and they removed my gallbladder. Common after this surgery. Since having it removed I haven't had that gnawing hunger feeling. So always be aware of that, it causes back pain too. Anyways good luck and I'm sure you'll rock it!

I have to agree fully. I am 10 months post-op and have gone from 289lbs down to 179 so far. My clothes went from a 24W and 3X down to size 8 bottoms and large tops.

My caloric intake also hovers around 1000 calories a day. But also keep in mind I am exercising (walking 5 miles and weight training) most days for 90 minutes or more.

My food still is Proteins first but carbs are slowly creeping back into my life and I am gonna have to put an end to that because my weight loss has slowed because of it.

Right now I am just 18lbs away from a "healthy" BMI of 25. I am really pushing to get to that goal for my surgiversary.
