Today is my 5 month surgiversary.

Everything is going great...I don't have really anything new to report.

I'm down 67 lbs since surgery and 91 total.

I haven't taken measurements in a while...need to do that soon.

I'm still not exercising very much...wish I could make myself LIKE it. I did walk 2 miles tonight.

I don't log my food everyday but I eat pretty much the same things over and over so I have a good idea where I am on any given day.

I love my sleeve....my hubby named her Veronica. LOL Don't ask..he names everything including our houseplants.

I have so much more energy now and I'm starting to like shopping again. One of my employees came over this evening and I cleaned out my closet and gave her 4 garbage bags worth of clothes. I think I now have about 3 pair of pants that fit...lol

I went from a tight 24 pants and 2x/3x shirt to a 16 pants and a regular xl shirt.

Starting to get a little flabby and wrinkly in my upper arms and inner thighs but it's not too terribly bad yet.

I've had zero problems so far and other than being impatient I've had a very textbook experience.

All my co-morbs are gone which is the absolute BEST thing about losing weight.

I feel like I'm gaining my health back which is the best feeling. I didn't even realize how much my weight was affecting my health and holding me back from LIFE.

To anybody on the fence...I say GO FOR IT..this is the best thing I've ever done myself and I've not had a single moment's regret.

I'm over halfway to goal and hoping I'll make it there. I have great restriction although it does vary. It's a very strange thing to me still.

I had to dig deep to find some before pics because I absolutely HATE pics of myself....and they're quite embarrassing to me. I still don't like the camera so my two post op pics are self pics with my iphone that I took to send to one of my best friends who lives in a different state than me.

You look wonderful!!! Congrats on doing so well, and thank you for sharing your pictures with us. You were beautiful before, but I just have to say that you look sooooooo much younger after losing so much weight. Isn't it funny how we don't think about how excess weight can "age" us, but we you see it in the pictures, it truly is amazing.

Thank you for sharing your inspirational jouney with us!
