Introduction to Vertical Sleeve Talk by N. Miles



Recommended Posts

I would just like to introduce myself to everyone. My name is Mrs. Miles, I am 42 years old and I weigh 280lbs at 5foot 2inches and my highest weight has been 298. I am schedule for the Sleeve surgery on 1/26/11 at 9:30am. I am excited and I am currently on day 5 of my pre-op diet. I have done great and give all my glory to God who is giving me another chance and new start to be a healthier me! Sometimes I think about how others are going to view the smaller me because I have been plus size since birth! But, I won't know until I do it. I am married and have four sons and I am already cooking healthier meals for everyone and no one has eaten McDonalds in a week that I have bought, which feels different. I also noticed that when I was going out to eat, I was just used to spending money. Well my husband said, just save it for new clothes you will have to purchase. LOL! I can't imagine that it was about a year ago that I started praying and started this journey with the doctors, dieticians ect... I just wanted to say hello to everyone and look forward to chatting in the future.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
