Erica517 64 Posted December 31, 2014 Hello everybody, my name is Erica I am 33 years old and had the gastric sleeve procedure on June 23, 2014. My weight pre op was 275.4. I am now 187 pounds! And has only been five months and I have never felt so good. In the beginning it was very tough and I went through a little regret but I can't tell you how happy I am and how happy I am with my results. I am posting a picture down below of the last few months. If you are thinking about doing the procedure and you were unsure let me tell you how it has totally changed my life for the better! I am so happy with the results and how I feel and how my health has improved dramatically! If you all have any questions or concerns I would love to chat with you I will really look forward to seeing everybody's posts and success stories.

Avhick 54 Posted January 1, 2015 Way to go Erica. I had the procedure monday. I know what u mean about it being hard at bathe beginning. It's a big adjustment process. I'm hoping my results will be positive like yours Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
monyLiza 40 Posted January 1, 2015 Wow Erica what an amazing transformation! I am so happy that you were able to see past the difficult times and push forward, you are an inspiration. I second a previous poster, what workout plan did you follow? A hundred pounds in 7 months is really fast, I've been reading that it can take up to 2 years! Please share with us your secret! What did you do for your skin, do you have problems with sagging, did you use any creams? Thank you for sharing your story with us! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
amw713 4 Posted January 1, 2015 Great job!!!! I too want to know your secrets. I will get sleeved on Jan 20, 2015. I am excited and nervous. I know this is the best decision that I have made in my life. Mine is for preventative reasons. I do not have any health issues aside from being overweight. My mother on the other hand has had a stroke a descending aortic disection, diabeties...to name a few. I have a six year old son and I need to get healthy for him as well as my self. Congratulations again!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Erica517 64 Posted January 2, 2015 I basically only eat Protein. Some carbs here and there but working out is super important. Make sure To eat 70 grams of protein and stay focused. It's hard to eat a lot still But the Protein Shakes are good and easy to get down. Remember you WILL hit stalls. You will Go a while without losing any weight. Which is totally normal, just stay focused eat your protein super important. I have gone from a size 24 to a size 10 I do think in some aspects but I have lost a lot more than most normal people do in the beginning which I'm not complaining LOL but don't be discouraged if you don't lose as fast. I am 187 pounds right now and I have been at this wait for the last 3 to 4 weeks I've been down a pound or two here and there. My email address is EMH517@aol.com if anyone have any questions concerns comments or anything I am totally willing to share my experiences or give any advice that I possibly could. Good luck to all of you who have either done or are doing it in the future. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
