Hey guys! Just wanted to post a quick update! I'm about 4.5 months post sleeve and I'm down 76 lbs as of this morning! It's crazy to think I had my surgery just in December, as it feels like it's been at least a year! That's a good thing! I feel great!! The first pic was from back in August and this "after" photo was taken this past weekend!

Today is my ONE MONTH SURGEVERSARY!!!! I have lost 28 lbs!!! I am half way to my 1st goal!!
Today: I am still drinking 2 Protein shakes per day for 64 grams and drinking my 60 oz of fluids. I tried lemon garlic shrimp and sauteed spinach from the SKINNY MENU at Cheesecake Factory. It was DELICIOUS!. However, I couldn't eat all of it ofcourse, and I got my 1st lesson on HOW TO KNOW WHEN TO STOP. I had 1 small bite of the spinach (chew chew chew) and then the shrimp. Small tasty little bites.... the shrimp were about 1.5 inches, not counting tails, I cut each in half and chewed well. They were AWESOME! BUT after I ate about 6 bites, I felt them rising up in my esophagus (throat) BUT I just HAD TO HAVE ONE MORE BITE (chew chew chew) but I knew if I swallowed it it would be TOO MUCH. SOOOOo needless to say I had to discreetly spit it out in a napkin NOT VERY ATTRACTIVE! Then for the next 30 minutes I still could feel the shrimp trying to return UPSTREAM!! I didn't throw them up THANK GOODNESS, but it will be awhile before I eat shrimp again. One thing you don't want "returning" is SEAFOOD! Lesson learned and noted!

Alright December Sleevers, I'm hoping that this title brings more people in so we can follow and encourage each other through our journeys.

I am 40. I'm 5'4" and about 308 right now. I'd like to get to a healthy BMI which would be around 145. I'm hoping for a December 4th or 5th date with Dr. William Johnson.

Everyone introduce yourselves!

I'm a December revision too, let's stay in touch! Happy Holidays.

I hope to be able to shop and wear what ever I want and feel good doing it.

Tonight I was at my daughter school Christmas play, and all these moms had on tall boots, leggings and these precious long sweaters... and they looked perfectly put together... Next year... I wanna have legs that look good in leggings and boots!
