I am 8 years out from surgery for gastric sleeve and total thyroidectomy .. I have gained 40 pounds back from my lowest weight of 159 .... I can easily stay at 199... it's like my average comfy weight .. I do diet and try to lose but having thyroid issue I feel plays a major roll.. but I will happily keep that 40 pounds over where I started. I started going to the doctor weighing 278. I'm doing good. Still smaller portions and will still get sick if I over do. I excersize and will keep trying. Overall still greatfull.for what the surgery has done.

Checking in with same weight as my 4 year anniversary. I have gone up and down but have to exercise regularly to get it off which I'm not doing at the moment. Still happy to keep a majority of my weight loss off for so long. 2009 I was 278 and 2014 I'm 188. I will take that as a win!

Today is my 4 year anniversary ...So so crazy! Today I weigh 188. I was down to a size 10 at 163 pounds now Im size 14 at 188, Im 5'7...Yes I have gained....Yes I have to watch what I eat and Yes I have to work out. But overall it has been the best weight loss tool and I am so blessed. I still eat smaller portions. I try to make the best choices and focus on lower carbs when I see the scale creeping. I have another fight with having had my thyroid removed. That is actually what I believe is a big contribution to my weight gain and struggle. Im so proud of all I have accomplished and will continue to work at maintaining and staying healthy.Im currently working on getting back down to my size 10. I just started crossfit and cutting out some carbs. Its starting to work I cant wait to get back down to my lowest...I so happy and I love the new me!

Its all good ...Same routine ....Im still 165 to 170. ..Eating smalls meals throughout the day..Enjoying life. ..Love it!

Im doing good ...holding steady at about 165 ..I go up a down a few pounds with water weight but my average is 165. Feel great still have good restriction...Having fun and enjoying life.

soooo I've stayed between 162 to 170....I go up and down and have been doing this for the past 3-4 months. I am content with my weightloss and at this point I dont really want to lose more because my skin will get looser....One day I am definitly getting lots of work done...aka tummy tuck and boobs...but that is at the soonest 2-3 years and I can wait. I love my progress and I love that I always just ate a lttle bit of everything. I still cant eat large portions but I eat every 2 hours for sure , if I dont I get lightheaded. I also like that when I have alcohol i get buzzed fast and then it goes away about a half hour after my last drink, so that I can safely drive home...its so strange but it works for me...overall I am happy and greatful for the opportunity to have this surgery, i only hope I will be able to maintain this forever.....

So its been a year.....wow!......a year ago today I had my VSG and cancerous thyroid removed.
I am so greatful.
I have lost 115 pounds and only 10 pounds from my dream goal .... I know Im gonna get there.
Now I just hope that I will maintain this for many years to come...... I WILL maintain it.
Not in a writing mood today but just wanted to acknowledge my anniversary.  I like to read back on here to see how far I've come...Im so proud.

Down to 165....almost to my size 10 goal...fit size 12 perfect...not to tight...not to loose. Started this Journey at  278...AMAZING!!! Feel and look great!!!

My weight 173....lol....  1 stinkin pound......I will take it...

So.... 9 months out....I weigh 174 , pants size 12/14.
 I went to my post op appt today and they were just so happy with my progress and my bloodwork. My weightloss has definitly slowed , but still goin down. My hairloss is starting to slow, but still comin out. I excersize here and there...I eat a little of everything, which I consider a balanced meal. Still dont tolerate milk and acid reflux  is pretty bothersome. My thyroid seems to be under control, although I dont have much energy...I think I just need to get out more often...I really need a job, but thats not goin well. Overall, I am so greatful for this surgery and Im very proud of myself.
