Since I've posted here. Still logging, but other activities have me spending time elsewhere. I reached my goal and surpassed it at 10 months out (sept 2015 - sleeved 11/14) and been maintaining. I lost 150lbs with pre-op diet (never liquid only) and post sleeve. Size 24/26 or 2XL/2XL to a 4/6/8/S depending on the brand and style and my comfort. I am so grateful for my sleeve!

Here are a few pics.

    Thank you! I feel much better physically. I still struggle mentally - many days, I see my former self in the mirror.

    Apparently, my "QUOTE" function is not working...

    @boomerkae I just mentioned that in another thread! I'm not nearly as far out as you, nor lost as much as you have (yet) but yeah. Totally get that.

    I still see myself at 307lbs, even though when I look at my pictures I never saw myself that big. It's such a weird disconnect.

    *shaking fist* DARN YOU BRAIN!!!

    Lots of hard work...and it isn't over. The mental challenge continues and I struggle some when old eating habits try to resurface!
