Since the surgery on October 20, I have lost 30 lbs. I have 88 lbs to lose to reach my goal of 180. That seems like an impossible goal, but I am meeting the challenge.
Having the surgery was not an automatic weight loss solution, like I thought. The surgery is just a tool, to help the weight to fall off, and alter your lifestyle. I am still needing to drink lots of water, stay away from the wrong carbs, avoid sugar and unhealthy fat, exercise, and all the other things they tell you to help you lose weight.
If you do not do the right things, you will not lose, or you will gain the weight back that you lost. This life long journey is kind of scary to me, because I never seemed to be able to stay on track before. However, when your stomach can only hold a limited amount of food, it makes it a little easier.
I feel good, and still not sorry I had the surgery.

losing 2.1 lb a week
30 December 2016
Two months ago I had the surgery to help me lose weight. At the time of my surgery I weighed 298 lbs. I now weight 271 lbs. That's a total of 27 lbs. I am pleased with the loss. My clothes have gotten too big and I am now in a 22 instead of a 28. I'm thankful.
Many people have a misconception of the surgery (including myself). Although it is an aid in losing weight, it is not automatic. The surgery is just a tool. I must still watch what I eat, although I am allowed to eat anything I want. The surgery is just a tool. If I go back to eating like I always ate, I will gain weight, just as before. The difference is the amount I can eat at any given time. It is so much less. If I eat more than a few ounces of food, I may become ill (stomach hurting big time). However, it is rare that that happens because my whole mindset regarding food changed after the surgery.
My desire for food has lessened and although food is still tasty, I can take it or leave it most of the time. The holidays were not hard at all. I lost five lbs over Christmas and Thanksgiving.
I do not regret the surgery. I feel sooooo much better and have more energy. But now I am eating the way they told me I was supposed to eat before I had surgery. It is a challenge, because I still like the same foods. The difference is I am in control of my eating and not my taste buds.

losing 1.6 lb a week
21 October 2016
After a life time of failing to lose weight on my own, I finally made a decision to get the weight loss surgery (the sleeve).
I just came home from the hospital - no pain, no complications. I am pretty sleepy, though, but I don't feel like lying down.
Nevertheless, to those who have been following me and responding to my journal entries - thank you for the encouragements you have sent to me.
I am on a different journey, now and expect it to be successful. Since I have exhausted every area I know; and being close to 70 years old, I thought it was time to do something drastic. So I did.
The first week I am on a liquid diet of broth, jello and protein shakes.
