Today marks 11 week since my surgery on January 3rd and I hit the 50 pound mark today!!!

I can honestly say that I didn't start "loving" my sleeve until a couple weeks ago. I struggled with the feelings of "what the hell did I do to myself?" to being frustrated because going out to dinner meant taking a few bites and then being full. I worked through all those feelings and have been working out like crazy (spinning).

I had to buy some tops because I had none!! I fit easily into an XL at Old Navy!! I don't usually shop there but I had a coupon and there is no way I am buying good clothes until I reach goal!!

So to any of you who may be considering this surgery or newly post-op.....It's not an easy journey but it gets better every day!!!!

Congratulations it is great to be almost halfway to goal in a short 11 weeks! Keep up the great work.

how great! keep up the excellent work! yes you are very right, it's not easy. . lots of "other" people think we took the easy way out, but we didn't . . we took the smart way! Hard work yes it is. . . easy? NOOOOO
