I remember being pre-op and my favorite thing to do was look at progress photos and dream
I am 6 months, 10 days post op and I am down 128 pounds total. This isnt a very great pic since I have been sick, but i still took it because anything is better than my before!!
yep
that's right, you heard me
it's been 5 years since i took that stretcher down the long hallway!!
hard to believe!!
life is soooo different before and after being sleeved
too many NSV's to shake a stick at
newbies et al, you'll be amazed with changes in your life
health issues improved, or are gone
that's the main reason i had WLS
the fact that i look like a hot sexy grammy doesn't hurt!!
losing weight has been one of the highlights of my life
i can't imagine my life today or tomorrow as a "heavier"" person
life didn't start once i reached GOAL
life began the first day at GOAL
also called MAINTENANCE !!!
one of the few things i still can't do??
leap tall building
i still can not touch my tongue to my nose
rub my new tummy , pat my head clockwise
chew gum standing on one foot
but.... still working on it!!!
most anything else i can do LOL
i have good, better, and a couple of "not so good times!!
life can't be fixed as a "thinner" person
comes pretty darn close!!
i used to be 5"3' - now i am 6" tall!!!
i was turning 58 years OLD DOS
5 years later - almost 63 years YOUNG!!
i continue to work with my sleeve daily
bringing me health, happiness, and success
life is good

proud 5 year graduate!!!
I'm one day away from my surgery! So excited and terrified at the same time! But I'm so ready! Taking my before pics tonight. My bag is packed. Early check-in tomorrow. Wish me luck!
I wish everyone the best and can't wait to hear how everyone is doing on their journey. ????
