Hi everyone! I'm new to this but I felt it important to share my story, since we have at least one thing in common, if not more.. I had my sleeve done 5/30/12. Before surgery I weighed 245 and I'm at 205 right now. As we all know and have heard this surgery is a tool not a solution. Well, as a self-proclaimed "food addict" I still struggle with numbing my emotions with food.. Only now, I can't do it. So for that I am greatful! But I am struggling adjusting to my "new life". I'm somewhere in between my overweight life and my new skinny life.... And I struggle with old habits as I am learning to develop new ones! It is definelty a daily process and I hope some of you can relate to this and give me advice on how to keep on track. Thanks!

I had my surgery 5/30/12 and I can relate to all of this! I don't regret the surgery at all! It saved me from being obsessed with being fat the rest I my life. Now I have a chance to redeem some of my life! Let me just say that is a tool, as they say.. Not a soulution. As a self-declared "food addict" the urge is still there to overeat and that is a mental issue that I deal with EVERY day. It does get easier however as time goes by. I've lost 45 pounds so far and have more energy than ever before!! It's totally up to me now how I treat my body... No more blame, no more excuses. I'm done with all of that!!! Now it's "me" time!! I am worth it and I deserve to be healthy and happy... For ME ❤
