On September 29th I stepped onto the scale and weighed in at 117.7 pounds. Because I weighed a little less than 218 pounds on the day I was sleeved 17+ months ago, I have officially lost 100 pounds since the surgery. Therefore, I have officially reached the 'Century Club.'
I was 225.5 pounds approximately one week prior to the surgery, but lost 7.5 pounds on the pre-op diet of protein shakes and salads.
I hope to lose a few more pounds in order to have a bounce range of about five pounds for the lifelong maintenance phase. Nonetheless, my daily mantra is "Never say never." This means that I, along with anyone who has had this surgery, will need to employ lifelong vigilance because no one thinks weight regain will happen while actively losing those pounds, yet the statistics tell a different story.
My journey was painfully slow, but worth it. Thanks for reading!
