Getting ready for a wedding today. Figured I would take this shot and compare it to one I did about 6 years ago. I was indeed at my heaviest weight at the time. And I dont even need a belt to wear these pants.

Dub's right usually giving up caffeine and/or coffee is only temporary. I have caffeine everyday!

I only quit for several weeks after surgery.


Now.....I'd rip a fool's arm off an beat 'em with it if they tried to take my coffee.< br />

I envy you. I can't seem to drink anything. It all taste like poop. If your not having any issues I say go for it, but I would wait a bit after you eat

OK I've finally decided to be brave and post a couple of photos, apologies they are pretty poor quality as I'm not overly fond of pictures but before was June last year, the latest one is yesterday (I was obviously concentrating on something else in that one ????)

Hit my goal weight today of 118lbs
Started at 212 and was sleeved 24th Jan 2016
A day to Celebrate, a day I thought would never come, anything is possible

For anyone considering surgery, this has been the best thing I've ever done for myself! As of today, I'm 5 days from 4 months post-op and down 60 lbs So happy with the scale for the first time in my life...I'm far from goal but far from where I started...it's a hard road but completely worth it! <3
 

I struggled and still continue to struggle with who I should or should not have informed. I thought it would be important to tell all the people that I typically eat with, considering they would probably be witness to a lot of my changes around food in the near future. That being said, it is no one else's business. Tell as many or as little people as you want. When I first started telling people, I think I was looking for approval and support. I would over-analyze their reactions to try and see if they were judging me or not. I shouldn't have done that. The only opinion that matters is my own regarding my own body and thats something we all should remember. I also don't want to feel ashamed of this decision, so I think I shouldn't turn it into this "big bad secret" or else I will always be afraid of what people may think. It's a fact, I had gastric sleeve surgery. And it was and still remains to be the BIGGEST and HARDEST decision I ever made in my life. I am my own worst critic and that is ENOUGH. So, the people who know, know. And the people who don't, won't. Either way I'm going to be living my new healthy life with or without their support. Thank you for your post, it gave me a reason to express my feelings on this issue as well.
I hope you find peace today.
