GGGOOOOAAAALLLLLLL!

I hit goal yesterday Banane01.gif! I scared the snot out of my husband when I came flying out of the bathroom and woke him up to tell him HAHA!

It has been 28 weeks since I had the sleeve done. Started out at 240.8 before the liquid diet, 228.8 day of surgery and exactly 150.8 as of yesterday biggrin.gif Cannot believe I have lost it all YAY! The weight is coming off still and I don't plan to stop it yet. At only 5'4 my goal of 150 lbs still puts me in the overweight category (which I think is beyond stupid) so I will just let my body do what it wants to do for now. The best part? No one believes I weigh 150, everyone says I look so much thinner, so yay for me :)

Even though I had a weight goal in mind I have always been more concerned with getting to a size 8 jeans and I have successfully gotten there with a medium shirt. Last month I tried on a juniors jean skirt that I have not been able to squeeze in to in 10 years, well I just didn't think it would ever fit my body again so I put it in the yard sale pile. Well this weekend I went through that pile and decided to try it on one last time and IT FIT! I wore it to Church yesterday :)

I am still dealing with minor complications, mainly pain from time to time but it's ok, it's not as bad as it was. I still have to take two Nexiums and 1 Zantac a day but again, it's easy to deal with. I cannot exercise, other than walking, at this point so I hope to add it back in soon. My labs looked great however I'm having an issue with dizzyness and we don't know why but the dizzyness and headaches get so much worse if I exercise or even just do too much in one day, I'm guessing it's because I can't eat much still.

Anyways, I posted these pics a few weeks ago but will post again to show my progress :)
