Recently had my 9 month follow up and doing well. Down a total of 85 lbs since starting my journey. With working full-time and graduate school full-time I have had very little time for physical activity, so my weight loss sort of plateaued for about 3 months. Now that this semester has come to an end I have started loosing weight again. Also now that the weather is warmer I want to be outdoors as much as possible.

I started at 282 and today I weigh 197. I am down from a size

I recently had my 3 month follow up and I am officially down a total of 70 lbs since starting this journey in Jan. That's the size of my 8 year old (LOL)... Anyhow, I am down a total of 28.6 lbs since surgery. I am a slow looser and was at a stall for the better part of 5 weeks and the scale has been slow to move. I am not complaining because this is the smallest I have been since nearly 22 years ago. I have recently pulled out some of my winter clothing from last year and everything literally

Yesterday marked my 7 weeks out from surgery and I hit a stall around 3.5 weeks out and seem to be stuck, been teetering between 216-220 during that 4 weeks period.

Today marks one month post op. Feeling well and happy with my progress. SW 240.6 and as of this morning CW 219.4, for a total of 21.2 lbs loss and a grand total of 62.2 lbs since 1/1/14. All my clothes are falling off of me and I need to go shopping.

I finally did a side by side of my face and can tell a difference. One pic is about a 6 week difference and the other is comparing then (last May 13') to now...huge difference.

I return to work this week. I won't lie

It's amazing how I spent nearly 7 months waiting for my sleeve and now here I am nearly 3 weeks out. Recovery has went extremely well, had very little pain and really none since day 2. I have had no problems with nausea or acid reflux, so I consider myself fortunate with all the stories I have heard on sleeve support groups.
Today makes day 18 days post op and down 17 lbs, I am extremely happy about that. Which makes a total of 57 lbs down since January. And I am finally starting to notice
