As of today, it's been 156 days (approx 5 mos post op) since my mini gastric sleeve surgery. I am still having doubts that I will reach my goal weight.

I guess since I haven't been there in at least 30 years, it's hard to imagine ever getting there again. I am in a stall. I keep going up or down 1 or 2 lbs and am

eager for the scale to start declining again. Will I ever reach the 100 club again? I think I am losing a lot of inches even though I'm not losing lbs. People are

noticing and saying things now. I'm not good at accepting the compliments when I know how much farther I have to go. I've lost 57 lbs since my highest weight

and have gone down at least 2 sizes, but of course, I still have the smaller sizes in my closet so I haven't changed my wardrobe very much. And, I still would love

to lose 60 to 80 more lbs. I need to know how much others have lost at this point in their journey. I'm hoping if I hear some success stories it will keep me moving

forward. It's hard to do this weight loss thing even after surgery. Surgery helps, but it's still difficult every day.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
