I’m almost at my goal!!!
WORTH IT$50,224
I honestly didn’t even noticed how much weight I had lost. Normally I’m wearing gym type clothes so I can’t see the actual progress. I don’t own a scale nor do I want one, because I don’t want to focus on the number it projects. A few days ago I actually got dressed and put some clothes on that I bought as goal clothes. The pants are a little tight, but the fact I am able to put on a size 13 FN jeans after wearing almost a 3x is simply amazing. I took up dog sitting so I assume that helped I walk and semi run 3-4 times a day every day for the past two months. Prior to that I simply would run and walk about 2.5 miles 4x a week. I also lift weights 2x a week but I kinda drifted off of that cuz idk what I’m doing and this is the end result. According to the doctors I should’ve lost more weight than this but I don’t care what they say. At least losing it, I’m extremely happy with my decision to get this surgery I feel like I couldn’t do this with out it. Today I am 203lbs and I started at 275lbs. My goal is 150-160 and I’m almost there!!! Btw my stomach is only flat in the morning if I drink water I’ll have a big belly.

Getting there
Well I’m making slow progress I believe it’s because I feel weak from time to time. I can’t eat much which I’m actually glad for. But I often feel nauseous after eating skin why. Sometimes I throw up while eating or sleeping. But aside from that all good I jog 4x a week and hopefully by January I’ll be under 210lbs from my highest at 275 not bad I don’t even care that it’s slow progress because I honestly feel like this was next to impossible on my own.

Hi there! I was glad to see your post because we have a similar body frame. My thigh are a little more outta control than yours though. I thought it was interesting about your doc having you do a per-surgery internal check of your stomach, esophagus and instestines. That makes sense!!! I am going to ask my doctor about that this week. I am STILL doing the required pre-op stuff and will be seeing a mental health practitioner this Friday for the MH eval. I am praying for a February surgery date. I’m about 245-250 now and have a couple comorbidities. As soon I my doc told me I had high BP in December, I knew the sleeve was in my future. Please let me know how you are doing! Happy healing!

My poor skin // Steady weight loss
I went shopping today and because of my big arms I usually wear a 3x in long sleeve shirts. But today a 3x is entirely to big and I’m now in a 2x! I have not yet weighed myself I’m going to at my next doctors appointment on the 12th.
As I’m laying in bed I’ve noticed my tatas are little more dropped than usual and then I seen it LOOSE SKIN. I pinched a part of my chest up and I almost cried. Loose skin is apart of weight loss I know but I at least wanted to keep my full breast. Well it’s the price I pay for weight loss and I have no choice but to accept it.
