Hey Everyone! I thought I would share my success so far. I still have a ways to go but I'm very excited how far I have come so far! I have lost 85lbs since December 20,2013.. So about 4.5 months!

I was sleeved December 20, 2013 and I have lost 65lbs as of this morning! It definitely is getting harder.. My doctor has high expectations for my weight loss goals.. Which I am glad because I know if he didn't, I wouldn't be so determined. I have started exercising at least 4 times a week for an hour to get out of my stall, my dr also recommended instead of my two snacks a day, cut down to one.. He also said the first 9 months are the most vital time to get the weight off because after that the weight will come off a lot slower.. About 1-2lbs a month. But you all are doing great and good luck with your weight loss journey!

While I was on soft foods I could have tender meats.. Not sure if you can also.. But chili was always a good one for me! Good luck

I think it is normal to binge eat before surgery because you think you will never be able to eat again.. But I am 8 weeks post op and I can tell you that once you get that overwhelm feeling of fullness after 4-5 bites.. You won't want anymore... It's hard to throw away or save the rest of the food because before I felt like I had to clean my plate. You Are doing the right thing and you will realize after surgery it's all a mind thing.. Your body will tell you when to stop...

My psych appointment was pretty pointless... She just asked me if I was every suicidal and if I was sure I wanted to do the surgery.. I found the nutritionist and fitness instructor to really help! Good luck!

I was sleeved on December 20, 2013, so I am 8 weeks out. I just had a baby Feb 2013 by c section and the pain for sleeve was farrrrr more intense! The first two weeks are pretty rough.. By third week I was getting around a lot easier but felt like I had been punched in the ribs, but once that pain was gone by week 4 it has been so much easier.. I am down 52 lbs in 2 months and I couldn't be more excited! It is soo worth everything! Good luck!
