RussT 495 Posted November 15, 2019 WOW! I can't believe it's been 3 years since my Gastric Sleeve surgery! It feels like I had it yesterday. I started out at 470 and I've pretty much maintained at 215 pounds for the bulk of this year. If anyone is on the fence about having this surgery, let me tell you, it's life changing. I am so happy I did it. Not only is my health great, I've gotten very fit and am more active now than I have been in years. 16 7 1 JessLess, elsie77, GreenTealael and 21 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JRT Mom 919 Posted November 15, 2019 You don't look like the same person at all! Your before and after pics are a great example of how we stereotype people. The guy on the left looks like someone's crazy uncle that everyone loves but no one takes seriously. The guy on the right looks super smart and who everyone asks advice from. And yet you are the same person. Congrats for your hard work! 1 lyladyp reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RussT 495 Posted November 16, 2019 I just keep eating right and try to get about 30 minutes of exercise in 5 days a week. There wasn't a moment where I stopped losing and started maintaining. It's all about a new way to eat and live my life. 5 FluffyChix, JessLess, JRT Mom and 2 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
