December 2020

Checking in for the first time. I had my first appointment with my surgeon July 28th 2020 and weighed 518 lbs. He asked me to lose 40-50 lbs pre-surgery. I went in for my sleeve December 10th at 421 lbs and as of today, a bit over 3 months it, I’m down to 336.2. I’m in a stall at the moment, my weight hasn’t moved much for a week but I figure that will pass soon. I’ve been able to get in my Protein and Water without much issue but I did have to switch to capsule Vitamins because I couldn’t stomach the chewables. My only real issue is that beef and chicken taste horrible to me since surgery. I never ate a lot of beef but I always ate grilled chicken and that is annoying but I figure it’s temporary so we’ll see. I started at a 60” waist and 5xl shirts and I’m down to a 46” waist and XXL shirts. Overall, I’m extremely pleased with the surgery. Some days are tough but I’m hoping to get to my goal of 220 by early fall.

Wow, that is nothing short of amazing!!! You are clearly putting in the work and I can only imagine how much better you're feeling. These are updates that are really fun to read and I agree on red meat, it doesn't taste the same and my digestive system doesn't like it yet. Unlike you, I used to love steaks and burgers and have eaten what seems like a lifetime of chicken. Have you tried adding fish? I loved Salmon, but have added additional fish and it's going well.

In another plateau, friends. I thought I broke through it. Yesterday I dipped below 240 and today I’m 240.4 again. The scales keeps telling me that number, and I want to tell the scale “you keep saying 240.4, I’m not sure you know what that means.” Lol Anyway, I’ve upped my calories quite a bit (by about 300-400), and I have more energy now! So that’s good! Other than that things are going ok. I hope I actually bust this plateau soon. It’s getting exhausting (been about 1.5-2 weeks!).
