Goal met at 8 months out

[Andrew0929 1,101]

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!

I have a lot of respect for anyone who can make the commitment that this takes and sticks with it!

I too am from MA, and going through BSMC in Springfield, with Dr. Romanelli. I don't have my surgery date yet, but hopefully for October.

Keep up the hard work!
