Hi everyone! I’ve used MFP off & on for years & I recently started using it faithfully due to some serious changes I am making. Over the past year I gained over 50 pounds WHILE doing Weight Watchers! Don’t ask! Even my PCP was stumped. We know part of it was being injured day after Thanksgiving & having major surgery from it in January which left me recovering for months. Menopause was not helping either. The decision was made to do weight loss surgery. Before you go give me your two cents this was a very personal & VERY thought out decision. It is NOT an easy way out at all!! It is a tool you still have to change your way of eating FOREVER & you still have to exercise!! This is actually harder than just regular diet & exercise but I’m up for the challenge & would love some friends on here to support & encourage each other. Thanks everyone, here’s to a healthier & longer life!

I got sleeved almost a year ago, on 10/3/2016 and it was the BEST decision of my life! I was 46 at the time, 47 now, and had ballooned up to 361 pounds, I've now lost 119 lbs and still losing, but the best part of all is I feel soooo much better! I'm not on the conversations her much, I just stumbled upon here just now because I thought it might be easier to log my meals today at my desk top computer, which I rarely use and saw your story. I'm on Facebook a lot so feel free to connect with me there if you like, my name is Kat Anstrand, and I'm probably the only Kat Anstrand on Facebook :-)

I'll try it again because now I think it's working... I got sleeved almost a year ago, 10/3/16 and it was the best decision I ever made! I'm 47 now (46 at the time of surgery) and I've already lost 119 lbs and still losing! I'm not on the discussion boards here much, but I'm very active on Facebook if you want to friend me on there please feel free! I'm Kat Anstrand on Facebook.
