Week 20

I have completed 19 weeks of life after a sleeve gastrectomy. I am soooo happy I had this surgery and so far - I have no regrets.

I have lost 87 pounds in 19 weeks. I truly believe that I could never have lost this amount of weight without the surgery.

Life is better. In many ways. However, my husband and I need to readjust our relationship a bit. I think after a little more time we should

work out our issues. I want my weight to get to 140 pounds. So I have about 38 pounds to go and it feels so attainable.

I know I will reach that goal. And it won't be long. My personal goal is to reach that weight by the end of summer. I have June, July,

and August. So - I will lose 12.5 pounds each month. And this fall I will be living a dream come true. 140 pounds. WOW.

I don't have too much loose skin yet. My arms are seeing the worst of it -and it really is not too bad yet. And---it is way

more awesome than having fat arms.
