42 lbs down I'm brining sexy back!!!!

I am going to try this, hopefully it works! I had my sleeve surgery November 29th, 2010. The first pictures are at my highest when I got married (I love my husband, he has loved me no matter what size!), around 260ish lbs. The second are the day of my surgery, 220ish lbs. The last pictures are at my current weight, 135-137lbs (I LOVE my hormones, I LOVE my hormones). There are 2 standing in my old jeans and I fit in 1 leg (1 is me AND my daughter in my jeans). There is also a picture of my biggest jeans (size 22), and my new jeans (size 4..I wear a size 4-6). I never dreamed I would ever be this size or weigh in the 130's. I honestly never thought I would even reach goal because I had tried and failed so many times in my life. I hope these pictures are inspiration that, if you let it, the sleeve is an amazing tool! And I hope it inspires the slower losers too! It took me 18 months to reach my goal weight of 140lbs, and I have even lost a few more pounds in the last couple of months. So don't get discouraged if you don't lose all your weight in the first 6 months. If you make the changes you need to make to have a healthy life, it will happen!
    

Thank you everyone! I am enjoying this little journey! Been overweight my entire life and I waited 42 years for this type of surgery to be discovered. Wishing you all the best on your journeys! xoxo

Congrats! You can see such a difference!

Made my mini goal this morning! Today I am 199 pounds! Woo hoo! Next mini goal 170 pounds!

I just came across this recipe on Pinterest (Love that site) That I thought I'd share. It seemed like a good, easy, Sleeve friendly recipe!
Ingredients:
2 cups fresh chopped broccoli
1 1/2 cups ricotta cheese
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 egg
2 egg whites
1 tbsp dijon mustard
Diretions:
1. Preheat oven to 360°. Grease a 9x9 baking dish.
2. Combine all ingredients in a large bowl and mix well. Spread mixed ingredients into the baking dish.
3. Bake for 50-55 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool for 10 minutes. Enjoy for Breakfast or as a side dish for brunch!
* This is a fairly healthy dish, but for an even skinnier version, skip the cheddar cheese and add other veggies, such as onions, tomatoes, or mushrooms.
