So thrilled to be back in the 100's...even if it's 199!
I'm around 3 1/2 months & have lost nearly 70lbs. So thankful for this procedure & my new lifestyle that it brought about.

Waking up in the morning empowered & excited about the new day & the events that it holds (..and not worrying abt what I'm going to wear!)

Congratulations!! That's fantastic!!

My favorite is still the bones. Every time I see or feel a new one I just bubble up with pure elation!

Well, I'm 4 months out & have lost 70lbs! Never imagined I could lose this much in 4 months. I'm so thankful. My energy is up, my outlook is bright & this sleeve is one of the best decisions I've ever made. I had my check-in with the surgeon yesterday & was cleared for more rigorous exercise. I've just been walking so far, but I'm starting a weight lifting/core/cardio interval class on Monday...we'll see how it goes! Good luck to everyone on this fantastic journey!!!

And down a solid 40lbs! It doesn't seem real. The last time I weighed this amount I had starved myself and worked out 4x week for at least 1.5 hours. Only to gain it back. Unfortunately I had an ankle injury 5 days post op. Good news, 40lbs with ZERO work out haha. Next week I am cleared for all levels of weight training so that will change. My most difficult part is adjusting to portion size, and not drinking Water so soon after I eat.
FYI: telling no one about surgery. My line is "hypnosis and acupuncture". Sell it baby!

Are you seeing a counselor or therapist? Have you considered attending a 12-step recovery group like OA (OA.org)?
When you get the urge to binge, look for something to do with your hands that will keep away from the food.
Clean the toilet.
Take a bath or shower.
Take a walk.
Call a friend.
Write in a journal.
Do needlework, knit, or crochet.
Paint.
Garden.
Mop the floor.
Have a good cry.
Get a massage.
Paint your nails.
Prayer.
Meditation.
Go to a support group meeting.
Go to Church.
Take a class.
Go to the gym.
You can find help. You did the right thing by asking for help.

maybe replace with a different behavior?
I tend to binge clean. when I am super stressed or upset I could stay up all night cleaning a room.

so I haven't fit into a size 12 since I was 17 years old!!!! OMG!!!!!!

Funny on the retinol comment! True!!!
I've found that those little whispers in my mind that come with thoughts of flaws & the "less thans" love to speak up when things are going well. Losing 85lbs in less than 4 months sound like doing well to me...don't let those thought rob you of your joy!
