1 Month Post Op And Feeling Fanfreakingtastic!

By Merydia710

· 586 views

I'm not gonna lie it has been rough some days. Especially when I have a bad day and all I want to do is eat the junk food that has made me feel better. Then i get over it and sometimes cry it out and then I am glad that I can not shove enough food for 3 people in my body at one time anymore.

 

I am down 35 lbs as of today and 23.5 inches total

 

I feel a million times better than I did before. Already my heart rate and blood pressure have gone way down. I am getting almost all my protein from pureed and soft foods. I am able to do 2 miles in 30 mins or less on the elliptical.

 

I had a little stall but I'm not too worried about it I know I will keep losing if I do the things I am supposed to.

 

So here are some not so awesome before pics. I tried to take them as real as possible and then some after pics.

    I'm just 3 weeks and headed into my 4th week. I have lost 29 lbs post opt....and my husband sabotages me all the time...tonight he brought home 40 yes I sad 40 candybars of every color shape and size...he tells me dark chocolate is good for you....

    Yikes...he drives me mad...before surgery he would say things like "you can lose weight it's all in your head" "you'll always be fat..why bother"....yikes I have spent alot of money on my sleeve and by George, I am gonna be as thin as him...and show him how much it is all "in my head".

    keep strong Sleeve Sister, you can do it...just say no to yourself and grab a glass of water.
