On and off and some quite long plateaus but made it!

Amazing op! 🙌🙌🙌

How did you do it?

Well done you look fabulous. What a fantastic achievement 👏

I always feel a bit of a let down when I say I've had a gastric sleeve, when people are asking for inspiration on how they can 'do it too' but I have a lot of health issues, physical and mental and struggled my whole life with my weight. Nothing helped, nothing stuck, constant yoyoing and I was sick of it. So now consistently lost/maintained since 2021. Its not been easy at all and have some small issues around the sleeve but am in such a better place, no regrets.

Amazing well done! My DH has lost a similar amount, I’m just over 5st down so far.

Vitriolinsanity · 24/10/2025 19:50

Well darn it girl, look at you slinky Malinky! I’m currently 36 pounds down and feeling superhuman.

MrsPositivity1 · 24/10/2025 20:27

Unreal - well done. I hope you feel amazing

SurvivalInstinctsOfABakedPotato · 26/10/2025 14:31

Bloody amazing. Just lost my first stone and 3lbs so I'm feeling renewed motivation after seeing your post!!!!

How comfy are those Dr Ms? Ive favourited a pair on Vinted.

Wow. Well done you. That’s an amazing achievement. And a gastric sleeve is not easy so you haven’t taken an easy way out at all.

I bet you feel so good.

I have lost just over 60 pounds with weight loss injections and feel really chuffed. Much healthier and have so much more energy.

Ketzele · 26/10/2025 15:42

That can't have been easy - huge congratulations!

RiseOfTheTeenyTinies · 26/10/2025 15:46

Well done! That is amazing and your health will be a reward for years to come! (Plus you look fantastic)
