Hi Faith, I'm Tommy and I am just starting the process to have the sleeve done. I first saw my doctor 2 weeks ago and I have since lost 14lbs just changing my diet. Your results sound amazing, are you happy with the way everything has turned out? I'm really nervous about getting this done but I have to lose 60lbs to have my knee replaced.
Good luck to you1 -
Hi, Faith! My gastric bypass will be two weeks from today!0

Hi. I’m willing to check in regularly and provide support.
I had sleeve 8/2018 and lost 102 pounds in 17 months. Then I had two cruises and then Covid hit. I gained 11 pounds in that year but I restarted January 1st with tracking, low carb, etc. and I’m losing again and trying to get to my personal goal.
I currently do 1,200-1,300 calories
55-70 G protein (but usually get more)
Under 50 net carbs
64 oz water/decaf liquids

I usually check on boards about twice a week so I will start stopping by if some people will be around! I can probably use the support too, I gained 20 lbs over the past year with Covid, my mental health took a dive! I had my surgery in January 2018, my lowest weight was 211 (for like a week lol) I settled at 218, and I’m current 238! I was supposed to have skin removal surgery but now I’m not sure when that can happen, so I am working on removing that 20 lbs again and waiting for that type of surgery to be able to happen here!
Wow sounds like you had a good start to the new year keep it up 1 -

It really is life changing! Depending on where you live and your surgeon it can take some time to get through the process but it is worth it
