Wow!  I can hardly believe it's been 6 months today that I was beginning this journey, seems like yesterday.  I will post new pics later today but I just wanted to say it's been such a blessing to have been afforded the opportunity to have this surgery.  I enjoy life now so much more!  I enjoy gettting out and going shopping, the compliments I get from my DH, the feeling of fitting in a booth comfortably and not having to ask for a table instead.  I could go on and on.  Happy New Year's Day to all!  May it be you're best year yet!

Today is my 5 month anniversary since surgery.  It's really hard to believe it's been that long.  I went to my doctor's office today and it was strange, yet exciting to think I was walking in there 5 months ago a bit scared and unsure.  I've never regretted having this surgery for a minute and it truly has been one of the best decisions I have made.  I have lost 58lbs and I'm really happy with that.  I have had numerous stalls but I refuse to let it keep me down because I look at the big picture.  Sure, I weigh myself daily but I only post on my anniversary and mid month just to keep me sane.  Pics to come......I'm so bad about this, although I take a few pics on each anniversary day of every month.  Best of luck to all you newbies, soon to be sleevesters and post ops!

Well, it's been 4 months since I had my sleeve surgery and WOW, it has been life changing to say the least!  Weight loss has slowed during month 4, but I'm positive it will pick up.  I just have to make some changes like upping my protein, water and exercise.  I just got my blood work back from my PCP and all looks very good-everything was right on target.  I've gone from a tight 18 to a size 14 and it's a WONDERFUL feeling!  I'm a little over 1/2 way to goal and I can't wait to see where I'm at after the next 4 months!  Happy surgiversary to all July sleevesters!
