In a few days I'll have been sleeved for 4 months. It really doesn't even feel like it. Some days are bad but most are good. I do have moments when I want to eat a lot of junk but for the most part I am comfortable with what I can eat. food no longer consumes my day. I would plan everything around food before and none of it was healthy. I am so happy with my sleeve. I feel very lucky to have someone who loves me unconditionally. He supports me 100% and it makes me love him even more. My blood pressure is now normal 124/66 usually from 168/92!!! I have lost 58 lbs. I lost a lot in the beginning but then slowed way down. I even stalled for about a month...lol but I knew I would keep losing and I did. last weekend I did 5 miles on the elliptical in 1 hr. I was so proud of myself. and I never really got out of breath or tired I felt great!!!
Just wanted to give an update and maybe support for those who need it. This forum has helped me so much.
Here are a few pics. one from before surgery at around 320, one taken 6-8-12 in the same shirt except it fits now and another in a shirt I was able to buy in old navy off the rack! also taken 6-8-12 at 262!

As soon as I started my pre op diet and even after with the post op with the protein drinks I had stomach issues. I think it was all the protein and lack of other stuff like fiber that made things so "watery" Sorry It's gross. But as soon as I stopped the protein shakes the loose poop stopped too. It got so bad once I was just crying. That was after surgery and I was pretty fed up with all liquids going in and all liquids coming out. nothing really helped until I started eating real food again,

I totally feel this way. I can not even imagine what I will look like smaller. I have been big since I was 6 and I'm 30 now. I've lost 50 lbs so far and barely see a difference. I weigh less now than I have in about 5 years. I wonder sometimes if I will also fail. I don't have a problem eating anything. I still eat small amounts of food. But I don't always eat what's best for me. Which is so dumb I know. I need to refocus. Hopefully in a year I'll have lost 50 more lbs and really be able to see a difference.
You aren't alone in how you feel. I'm sure a lot of people have feelings of doubt and a distorted body image. That's whay I love this website so much there is so much support and always someone who can relate..
