Goal met at 8 months out



Recommended Posts

As of this morning I met my goal of reaching 175 pounds, down from an all-time high of 324. My journey has not been easy as I had some complications and a second surgery early-on, but I have no regrets about being sleeved and continue to be thankful for this opportunity .

While many are pressuring me to to stop losing weight, I know that I need to lose at least another 10 pounds as my love handles are still begging for attention.

Andrew0929,

Congratulations. I'm so happy for you! Those that have not gone through the surgery and working to lose the weight have not idea how much inner strength it takes to be vigilant and work it because we ARE WORTH IT!

I had my surgery in December 2013 but I haven't weighed myself since my follow-up in June. I only weigh myself at doctor's appointments. My clothes are falling off again so I think I may have lost more than my current stats say. I just keep taking it one day at a time. Sometimes I slip and eat things I shouldn't but I just have to realize--I'm far from perfect and must get back on the horse and ride on.

Have a good one everyone!

Kathleen

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
