Can You Hear Me!!!!!



Recommended Posts

Okay so I'm in the Goodwill with my mom and son, I was in search of the perfect shade of grey slacks. Well I pick up a size 8(which can I say I am thrilled to be able to fit), a size 6, and a size 4 that I knew no way in the world I would be able to fit. But hey my son said, "mom they look like they could fit you." I was thinking "Mmmhhmmm I don't think so."

Well sleeve family, I could not wait to get online to tell you guys that I not only got in the 8's, but I even got in the 6's -very comfortably might I add. But HELLO can you hear me, HELLO, I say, I even got in the size 4's.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. I love my sleeve. I love my sleeve.

I was in the dressing room jumping up and down. saying OMGosh I can actually fit a size 4 in slacks. And these were labeled from the "Express" store. I don't know how many of you have that in your area mall. But as a person who was tipping the scales at 298lbs I could only look at their clothes never try on or even wear, as it was made for skinny chicks.

Oh side note the size 6's were labeled from Talbots. Some of the women will understand why I am saying what store the clothes are coming from, as some stores clothes run smaller than others. So to wear a size out of a particular store is an incredible thing.

Sleeve-Land is an Incredible Thing.

Thanks you guys. I am constantly amazed everyday with this sleeve. It is amazing. And it is so nice to have others to share with that understand your happiness.

My sleeve birthday was Dec 14, 2010. I started at 298lbs and today I am at 175.6lbs. I want to share this gift with everyone I know that is struggling just as I did with losing/keeping off weight. I swear I thought I had missed the meeting on "how not to be fat." I spent countless dollars on products and different gimmicks. I am so greatful to have this tool. Now I feel that I can/am doing it and without fear of failure.

People dont understand unless they have been there through the hope of success with a new product/method and then ultimately, the failure.

Tearing up now I must stop. I just wanted to share. Let's all rock on with our sleeves.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
