Sleeved and relieved!

Hi kellie, I love your before and after pics! Your hairstyle is great. You've given us some great positive info. I'm just 6 days after my sleeve but our stats are almost the same from where you began, so it is great to see:). Hope your going to enjoy the Olympics!

Hi all
Although I had my gastric sleeve 8 months ago I have to be honest and say that, whilst I have dipped in and out of weight loss forums both leading up to and after my op, I have not really been actively involved.
Now, I feel so passionate about my weight loss surgery and the results that I have already achieved that I thought why not share it with people who are either going through the same thing and feel as on top of the world as I do, or are maybe considering having the sleeve and want to talk to somebody who can give first hand experience (and because I have most likely run out of friends and family to bore with my elation now!!).
I can honestly say that there is nothing better I have ever done in life than have the sleeve! And I doubt that anything else will ever match the feeling of happiness that it brings (aside from having my kids of course, but thats a given!).
I have so far lost 92lbs and feel amazing!! I have about another 14lb to lose which just seems incredible since, all of my adult life I can never remember being less than at least 5st (70lbs) overweight - it just feels like a small mound to overcome now as opposed to the mountain that I was always faced with.
Life is fantastic!! - I cannot stress that enough!
I could go on (and on, and on) about how I feel but dont want to bore you all - just to say, im friendly and approachable and would be more than happy to speak to others about their journey, share ideas of just answer questions from those of you who have either decided to have the surgery or are still thinking about it.
Bye for now

Hi Kellie,
Congrats and I am so happy for you! You are definitely inspiring! I am scheduled for my VSG in September and am working on losing some weight before my surgery. What do you feel was your biggest challenge in regards to your keeping on track? What do your meals consist of 8 months out? How much do you exercise?
I will stop here with my questions.
Thanks and good luck with your lat 14 pounds!
Dottie

Great work! You'll hit goal in no time.
Welcome!
