Yes that's right! Anything I want! 6 months ago I was absolutely miserable. While eating anything I wanted, I was gaining weight like crazy. My body would hurt and I could not fit any shoes with the exception of loafers. I would plan my my whole day around eating. I would plot how would wake up early just to stop by Dunkin Donuts. There I would by about 6 donut holes and 2 chocolate covered donuts and wash them down with a 20 oz soda. When I arrived at work 2 hours later ( I know, hell of a commute) I would be hungry again and would most likely eat another whole Breakfast or snack. I would down coke before lunch and couldn't wait for 11:00 to come to indulge in whatever the hospital cafeteria was serving. I would cancel meetings some days because it was too far of a walk across the hospital and my feet would hurt terribly or I would be too embarrassed to walk in out of breath. By 3:00, I was ready for a sweet indulgence and when I left, on my way home I would eat McDonald's. If my husband cooked. I would eat again once arriving home. That was my life.
6 months later. I wake up early to make a smoothie made of spinach, blueberries, strawberries and Water. For lunch, I eat a lean and green never eating more than 4-5 mouthfuls (I throw away so much money). For dinner I juice all sorts of fruits and veggies. If I'm hungry in between? Nuts. Do I have something carby from time to time? Yes! Do I have something sweet from time to time? On my way to get frozen yogurt now! Do I eat anything I want? Yes! So how have I lost 80 lbs in 6 months? Because this surgery has made it so that I mostly only want clean, healthy foods. I hate eating out of a bag or box or can. I love colorful foods and fresh foods. I crave them!
This surgery has changed my life! I still have about 50 more pounds to go, but I am looking forward it! New day! New life! New me!

I was sleeved on April 30,2014, as of today I am almost 9 months post op and I have lost a total of 130 lbs. My start weight was 402 lb and today I weigh 272 lb. what a differance I feel for me and my family!!

I am 76 lbs down and working hard to get down to 145-140 with in a couple of months. I am currently at 165lbs. I know if I try my hardest I can get to that or close to it.
This is my first before and after pictures I have posted here. The first one is me back in April 2014. That was me at my heaviest at 246. The second picture is of course me and my husband lol. That picture of me was taken on Christmas day 2014. I will get better after pictures up soon. Hope you all have a wonderful coming up week.
