Goal at 8 months out!!!



Recommended Posts

Haven't had a chance to post in a while. Just thought I'd share my progress. I'm 5'6 starting weight was 250 and am now at goal at 143. Down from a size 22 to a 6-8 (depending on the brand). This was the best decision I've ever made. For those of you thinking about the surgery, it is a wonderful TOOL. I do work out 6 days a week but now i really look forward to that. I still try to really limit carbs because they settle very well for me. I probably will still try and loose another 5 pounds or so just to give myself some wiggle room. LOVE MY SLEEVE!!!!:lol0: Best wishes to all of you out there beginning your journey. It's soooo worth it!

Thank you for all of you veteran Sleevers for continuing to post your progress! Just 7 days away from my surgery and this REALLY helps calm my nerves reading these wonderful true life stories!

Congrats to all and see you on the other side soon!

I agree. Reading all of these stories about people who are so successful with this surgery also helps me remember that this is the right choice.

I think that as a lifelong obese person, I've grown so "used to" being fat that I may have almost forgotten that it's possible to feel differently!

I agree with the other posters. It's really comforting to know it's possible.

Congrats on your amazing accomplishment I hope to post that one day!

Wow! Congratulations you have worked hard and it has paid off. I think staying away from the carbs really speeds things up... that seems to be key with everyone who has been successful quickly. I need to keep reminding myself of this when it's my turn :) What kind of workouts do you do 6 days a week? Thanks for telling us about your progress!

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
