    I had my Sleeve done on June 30th 2017. My 'Honeymoon' lasted all of 3 weeks lol. I lost 30 pounds, and now my body is back to it's old tricks (up 2, down 3, up a half, down a pound, back up a bit, the old song and dance, despite eating between 5 and 600 calories a day at 320 pounds). It's not all a breeze of effortless weight loss, you still have to be prepared to work. I'm joining a gym to get some help from a trainer to work through some of my physical issues that stand in the way of increased activity, which I think may be part of why I'm having so much difficulty right now. I welcome all new friends, especially ones with experience! Any additional help or stories would be fantastic!

    My gastric bypass was 10/31/2011. I lost 140lbs total and gained back 47. I have lost 43 of the 47 but the first time I lost it, I was doing strictly cardio. Now I do a lot of body resistance so even though I'm 4 lbs heavier than my initial lowest weight, I'm smaller and soooo much more toned! You guys can totally add me if you want, if you have any questions about anything I'm more than happy to answer them (no holds barred). Seriously, even the stuff you think is gross, ask! It's so important to know you're not alone on your journey.

    I was 310 when I had the surgery and I am now 174. I'm 5'3 so I know this sounds high but if you saw me you would have no idea I'm 174. I have a severe hourglass shape and a lot of excess skin on my belly (the skin accounts for at least 10 of the extra pounds).

    I am scheduled for VSG on 4/16/18. I weigh 229 and my goal weight is 160, so I have 69 pounds to lose. I know that weight loss will be slow and I am ok with that, I figure slow weight loss is better than no weight loss. B)

    Starting weight: 229
    Goal Weight: 160
    5'6 and BMI of 37 (starting)
    37 years old
