I'm 10 months out & doing great

Hi All,
Just wanted to show my progress at 10 months. I'm at my mini goal weight of 165. Ultimately I want to be 145 lbs. So I've lost 63 lbs and I have 20 more to go.
I'm adding some photos of my progress.
On Instagram, I've been posting my entire sleeve journey with daily updates and weekly before and afters. My IG username is: nikalove_lives
But I highly recommend Dr. Pomp. My niece just had the surgery by him a month ago. She's already down 20 lbs. He's pretty amazing. And right now, I eat everything I want. Just in smaller portions. So to put it into perspective, I still love pizza. I just can only eat 1 slice and I'm full. It's been great. I have had no complications to speak of.
My biggest issues are remembering to hydrate enough. Not eating too late at night. Those are my struggles. They may be why I am losing slower these days. But I am still losing. And I'm super happy with my progress.

Here's another before and after photo. And my current weight status update. My "mini" goal for 6 months post op is 165 lbs. My ultimate goal at 18 months post op is 145 lbs. I'm 8 lbs away from my mini goal with a month more til the mini goal deadline. I hope I can do it! ????

Wow! Congrats on your dramatic transformation! We have similar stats & age, so your story is very relatable for me....isn't it fun to try on old dresses that swallow you up now? LOL! Stay strong with all the holiday temptations, and you'll def meet that goal...best wishes! :)
