1 Month & Look What I LOST!!!!!!

[CraftyChristie 62]

Hey everyone. I am one month post op as of yesterday but had to do all my fun stuff today as we got home late last night from a trip to the mountains.

I am happy to report that at one month I have lost 37 pounds and a total of 25 inches off my body!!!

This has been an adjustment but I have to say overall it has been an easy one for me. I am happy... I am active (5 K last weekend, 3 hikes this weekend, and workouts in between!)... I am feeling well... I'm eating a lot of different things now (still nothing hard/crunchy/100% solid for a couple more weeks). I'm satisfied with my small portions and loving that I am ABLE to be satisfied. Had a Father's Day BBQ at my parents house today and had 1/2 a bratwurst, no bun, and a small cube of pineapple. Compared to previously when I would have eaten 2 bratwursts with Buns, potato chips, corn on the cob, a ton of fruit, and dessert.

I'm already a size down in my tops (lost more inches up top than I did on the bottom) and getting rid of clothes and fitting into stuff I've had stored away. I'm wearing tank tops and shorts out in public and I am happy.

I am LOVING being SLEEVED!!!!!!!!:thumbup:

Now for some pictures. Before, and 1 month, side by side in two tops - one that fit me at the start and is now really roomy, and the other was super tight at the start and now actually fits.

Do you see a difference? I do :001_wub:

So happy and excited for you! I know that feeling, I have it too! I am 6 weeks out from my sleeve, and have lost 28lbs. I just hit my first plateau. It may last as long as 2 weeks, but I am still losing inches. Its a wonderful feeling. Best of everything on the rest of your journey!

WHOA! Girlllllll you look great! When I saw those pics I had to go back and make sure that 37 lbs was all you lost. It looks like so much more. Your body shows it all over and your face really shows it. You must be sooooo thrilled. You are doing so well and you must be so proud of how you are doing with your exercise, 5k, etc. You really planned well for the whole experience and have hit it head on. Keep up the great work. Gratz, you deserve it.

WHOA! You can _really_ tell how much you've lost by those pictures! Isn't it great to feel the tummy getting smaller? I know I can do my stretches so much better without my gut getting in the way! I wish I had taken such great before and after pictures!

I'm happy for you!
