orionburn 1,024 Posted January 11, 2018 Trying to check-in with some folks that had their sleeve done last January like myself. For me I've been stuck at the same weight for the past two months. Focusing again on the little things. Upping my Protein, cutting out carbs where I can, getting more active. This winter has slowed me down but now that the holidays are over I'm ready to get focused again. I am happy to say I didn't gain any weight over the holidays. That is a first ever for me so I need to find some silver lining for being in this stall for so long. Coming up on a year and it's hard to believe how much has changed. Despite some initial complications and a rough first month I'm so happy that I went through with WLS after debating it for so many years. When I went to my first consultation meeting in May 2017 I was back up to 350-355 lbs. By the day of surgery I was at 318 lbs. Now weighing in at 235-237. I was really hopeful to hit 225 by the time of my 1 year anniversary. Might happen if I can get things to kick in again. Part of why I'm starting this thread is to get my head on straight again and keep things dialed in. For the record I'm not falling back into old habits or anything, but need to get my exercise up and tweak my diet. My biggest struggle at this point is still having the same "shape" even though there's a helluva lot less of it. I feel so much better than I did from a year ago. The health benefits have been unreal. Just can't get my eyes/mind around it at times. Hope everyone else has had a good first year after their surgery!
