This is me.....almost 5 months out

[migalo 142]

Fellow sleevers unite! I remember you all, surfing through these forums for hours worried about my surgery but excited for the potential health and physical change. Now I'm on the other side almost 5 months out and want to share my story with those that are waiting in anticipation or a few days out wondering whats next. I was sleeved on 09/29/2017. At my surgery I weight 363 and my weight when I started the liquid diet was 380.4. I think I ended up topping out somewhere around 387 in the days or weeks before the liquid diet. As of this morning I weight 273.8. So roughly 107 lbs in 5 months. I'll take it! Size wise I am currently a 38 waist, and XXL top. I was a 46/48 waist and 4XL a few short months ago. My overall goal is 225 (I'm 6'2). Here is my lame attempt at a Letterman style top ten list but backwards. Time flies, enjoy the ride, and the compliments

1. Losing weight is cool. Growing saggy man skin tits not.

2. Pretty Pimpin’ by Kurt Vile is on my sleeve journey mix tape.

3. Its great being able to sit in a chair and not worry about breaking it.

4. I used to love Soup. That was before eating it everyday for 4 weeks.

5. Only fat people wear fitbits. I wore mine, and it was stupid. I've never seen any active person actually wearing one. I probably exercise more without it.

6. You can weigh yourself everyday. I did, its OK. First thing in the morning, post dump, post shower. I’m suprised I haven’t gone through a costco size pack of AA batteries.

7. Levi’s that aren’t loose or baggy fit = AWESOME!

8. I am no longer that fattest person everywhere I go, There are a crapload fatter than me.....I know as I just got back from Disney.

9. Sex gets better with every 20 lbs.

10. Holy shit, I’m not sweating!

Great post! Thank you for posting pictures. It's always such an inspiration to see the changes physically instead of just looking at numbers. Congratulations on your loss so far and good luck with the rest of your journey!
