Its been one year since I have started the greatest journey of my life I was alwayd the fat kid an jus learned to deal with it well this surgery surely changed that prospective im am truely blessed to have had the finances to pay for this second chance at life although it wasnt a magic tool granite the first 40 lbs was gone without any hard work but the other 150 was earned threw good choices an lots of excersise it is not a magic tool you have to put fourth the effort an you will see great sucess I promise I work as a tug boat captian an am goin from home 240days a year the thing ppl do out here for fun is eat I had to learn that excersising was my new fun an had to come up with my own uses like running on a barge an jerking ropes for excersise if I did this any one can.

I still have 46.2 to go which seems like it will take forever because my husband is already at goal. We were both sleeved on the 22nd Oct 2014.

You would think after losing 127 lbs and having my sleeve for 14 months I would get used to the side by side but I still don't recognize myself.

Still losing (more slowly)-- still following the rules-- still LOVING my sleeve.... 105 lbs down! Getting closer to my goal!!!!
Here's a couple pics:
( I also added a few photos in my gallery "8 Months PostOp" including pics of food I'm eating)

I am so happy I decided to have the sleeve. I just got so tired of being fat. I say fat, because I was. I'm still on my journey to a better and brighter future. I'm the type of person who believes, if something can go wrong with me, it will go wrong. I was so nervous going in to surgery. What if I die? What if I get a serious infection? What if I quit breathing? I decided to start praying and quit worrying! Thankfully, I have been the model patient so far for the sleeve. I have not had one complication! I have strictly followed my Drs orders. I'm experiencing a lot of different reactions from family and friends. My mom and sister are trying to force feed me. They think I'm not eating enough, which in fact I get in at least 65 g of Protein plus my 64 ounces of Water everyday! My friends look at me weird when I eat a few bites, and I'm full. But everyone still supports me. I have such a good sense of humor, I make light out of their worries about me. They are more afraid of this lifestyle change than I am. I still have a long way to go, but I'm loving life more and more everyday! Oh and I'm not a bit scared to stand on a scale! Bc I know I will never be at my heaviest EVER AGAIN!! I had surgery October 30, 2013. So I'm not quite 4 months yet, but close enough! 90 pounds down and I couldn't be any more proud of myself!

A little over ( by a week ) 7 months post op . Feeling great . Anyone else having struggles with still seeing yourself as heavy even though you've lost a huge amount of weight ??
