My bariatric gastric sleeve surgery was April 6, so it has been 11 months since my surgery. I have lost 188 pounds so far and now, for the first time ever, weigh less than my husband. My goal initially was to lose 220 pounds, but now that I am approaching that, I’m wondering if I’ll be happy there or want to keep losing.

My bariatric gastric sleeve surgery was April 6, so it has been 7 months since my surgery. I have lost 146 pounds so far. I just measured myself for the first time in six weeks. I step on the scale every morning, but measurements are much less exact and take longer to see change. Since April 6, I have lost 17 inches at my waist. 17 inches!
