Hi! Congrats on the progress --- you are an inspiration!

Have you had any issues with loose skin or anything else you weren't expecting? I am just curious because I am about your height and I just started my journey (I was sleeved on 9/18/14). I am still in the challenging liquid phase. I had a dream the other day of food talking to me! :laugh:

All these stats great! CONGRATS to EVERYONE! I am just getting started on my journey. I was sleeved on 9/15/2014.

Hi All,
3 months out from Gastric sleeve. Got mine for medical reasons mostly, but looking good is cool too.
209 was my highest and growing out of my size 16's.
Lost 10 lbs before the GS.

Now at 169, and in a size 12. My feet have stayed the same.

I had my Gastric Sleeve done on 9/24/14 so almost 3 months ago (just had my 3 month post-op check up)

Age: 39
Height: 5'1"
At my first appointment I was at 379
Day before surgery: 341
Today: 281
Starting pants size: 32(jeans) 3x-4x everything else
Current sizes: 26 jeans not sure on the rest, but I've had to take in the waist on everything I own
Shirt size: 4x
currently probably 2x but again I've had to alter some shirts cause I'm not ready to buy new ones yet

So far not to many issues, I've tested the waters a little (so to speak) and am learning that some things are just off limits now. I can't tolerate coffee at all, tea I have to mix half regular half decaf (yes I know I'm not supposed to have any caffeine for 6 months but that just don't work for me lol), even diet soda watered down is a no go, so for now my half caff tea is my best friend! Anything deep fried will never again pass my lips (I got popcorn chicken a couple weeks ago without thinking about the fact it was deep fried and oh my did my tummy hate me that day! It hurt quite a bit so I will never be tempted to try fried foods again!!!)
I'm still pretty much at the stage where 99% of my food is protein. I can get a couple bites of veggies in but not at every meal. I miss veggies! My doctor told me that I can use one day a week as a "low protein day" if I really want a salad or some roasted veggies so that is my plan for now. I had roasted cauliflower as my lunch yesterday (I know that sounds strange lol) but I really really enjoyed it. Next week I plan on having a salad for lunch (cause I miss salad...never thought I'd say that!) with maybe 1-2ozs of chicken just so I'm still getting some protein but still have room for salad fixings too. Anyone else get to that point before being able to eat more non-protein foods?

Beautiful!

I had VSG on December 21, 2012 with Dr. Guillermo Alvarez at EndoBariatric in Piedras Negras Mexico.

I started out in a 22-24 pant, 18-20 dress, 7.5 shoe
Currently 6/8 pant depending on the cut, 4/6 dress, 6 shoe

VERY happy!

Happy to report that I am sitting under goal at 163. I did hit 159 briefly, however that was following a terrible cold and I wasn't eating much. I bounced back up. I'm looking at setting a lifetime range in 2015... 140 to 150.... so that's what my next year will be about!

I am a post VSG as of 1/11/11
highest weight-322 lbs
weight day of surgery--250 lbs
i wore a 26 pant, 2x top

today i am 185-190
pants i wear 32x32
tops M-L

i still have 25 pounds to go! And I am certainly glad to be back on here to help carry me thru the last leg of my journey!

I am still waiting for my surgery but have already seen success tracking on MFP for the past month. Met with surgeon in November and hope to have the surgery in April or May (sleeve) after my 6th required dietician visit. First weigh in was difficult as I had only lost 5 of the required 35 pound loss required to schedule surgery. My doc requires a 10% weight loss before scheduling it to aid in surgery success. Started using MFP to calculate calories and month 2 I had lost nearly 15 pounds! I am on my way!
Stats: Highest weight Nov 2014 was 366 lbs. at 5'11"
current weight; 347 and still going strong

A milestone for me this morning. I was sleeved 2014/05/26 with a highest weight of 465. This morning I broke under 300 lbs ... 165.6 lbs gone and sitting at 299.4 today.

Way to go shale000 and Rob! I am taking inspiration from you tonight as I go in to prepare my dinner tonight. Keeping on will get me to a bragging spot too. You deserve the success and the accolades after your hard work.

Hi all I had the VSG almost 2 years ago

Height 5'10"

Size 18/20

Greatest decision I ever made to have the surgery now at almost 2 years I am happy with my weight I exercise and try to eat right but I am still struggling to get 20 more lbs off. Any advice??? Does anyone know what my daily calorie intake should be? Appreciate any help like I said I'm happy but would like to take 20 more lbs off. Thanks

My name is Lina. I had RNY 2/13.

I am 5'3"

I went from a size 24/26 to a size 2-4. Now I am in 4-6.

I have been bouncing back and forth from 132-137. They say not to get used to the lowest weight-but darn it I liked that weight. So I am fighting to get back to 130. It is tough!

Keep fighting the good fight!
