CONGRATS on your super first week! I am close to your age (33) and have also struggled for much of my life with my weight. I am soon-to-be-sleeved (hoping for my surgery date mid-Feb or early March and just can't wait to begin the journey as a post-opper! Sounds like you are doing great - how has your recovery been? Is your hunger gone? Has it been terribly difficult to get in your Water and/or Protein? Keep up the great work!

Mrs., you have done an amaaaazing job for your first month out! 36 lbs. is fantastic! I am not sleeved yet - hoping for a date in February - but I hope, hope, hope I can lose in the range of what you have in the first month! I will be thrilled if I can do that! I know the big amount is daunting when you are still near the beginning of your journey but don't let anyone tell you that you won't ever be at your goal - you are in control of that and look at all you have accomplished so far! Having them tell me that would only make me want to get there more! You can do it! I have around the same amount to lose as you. I am 5'10" and have about 125 lbs. to lose. I am also a Kansas girl - maybe we can be sleeve buddies even though I am a little behind you! I live in Florida now, but will always be a midwestern girl at heart! Good luck going forward! Jess
