7 year surgiversery
Well.....it's been a really long time since I have posted on here. I realized this morning that today is my 7 year surgiversery. There have been ups and downs and high and low pointsI dropped 90 lbs and was thrilled with that.....still wanted to lose about 50 more. Then I hit a stall and started slipping on the program. Over the course of 2 years I gained back about 15 lbs. ...ws finding it really easy to snack a lot and eat around the sleeve. I just didn't feel that restriction unless I really ate a big meal. Christmas I decided that things had to change and I had to get back on track. I'm happy to say I am back on track!!! I've been on a high protein/low carb diet and I'm down 25 lbs since Christmas. I am feeling the restriction of the sleeve again and feeling pretty good about that. Right now I'm at a bit of plateau but I'm committed to getting the rest of the weight off.
pre-op 265 lbs. day of surgery 252 lbs. curent 187 lbs.
Thanks for sharing your story. It is good to hear that your sleeve is still giving you the restriction 7 years down the road.
I'm glad you are back on track.

I agree with Cappy- it is reassuring to see someone much further out still able to have adequate restriction, even after a stint of off plan escapades. I am glad to see you have found your mojo again and pulled off 25. Congrats on that for sure!
