Hi! I was sleeved 8/16! Things have been going well! Feeling the best I've felt years! HW: 233 SW: 220 CW: 201

I was sleeved on 8/16 and was home the next day. Pain hasn't been too bad and is almost gone now! I still struggle to get my liquids and protein each day too. I just do as much as I can (coming closer to my liquid and protein goals each day)! I've been walking in the evenings and it feels good to get moving! I can't wait to have puréed foods in a couple of days! I never thought I would say that! Lol! My weight has been up and down and I'm ready to see it keep going down. My heaviest was 233, day of surgery I was 217. Came home the next day and I was up to 222. As of today I'm at 210. 80 more to go! I got this! I'm enjoying the journey and I feel great! I'm so glad I made the decision to get sleeved! I can't wait to see the weight coming off! Best wishes to everyone in their journey!

The liquid diet has been challenging. There have been days where I want to eat everything in sight but then I remind myself of the big picture! Keeping busy also has helped me. Sitting watching tv makes me want to snack so I try to find other activities around the house to do!

So this is my first time posting on here. My surgery is set for this Friday! Feeling excited, nervous, scared, anxious and ready! I've been preparing for this day for over 9 months now. I've been struggling with my weight since I was a kid. I'm 5'3 and 220 pounds. My heaviest has been 235. I'm so very thankful I have the support of my family. I know this will not only change my life but theirs too! I'm ready to do this!
