Hello all,

While am currently now 15 days post op of my gastric sleeve and I can say that it was the best decision that i could have made. I started my journey weighing in at 375 I felt so ashamed of myself telling myself how could I allow myself to gain so much weight and then I started have physical problems from my feet swelling, pain in my knees and I even tore my meniscitis in my right knee. I made the decision to change my life. My new life started on the 19th of September were I weigh in at 344 after being on Clear liquids. Had my first follow up with my gastric doctor I weigh in at 342 and my current weigh is now 338. Am slowly making process and I can honesty say that I feel proud of myself there are times that I have to stop those negative thoughts that seem to creep in telling me that am never going to lose the weight and always be big and fat. But am working on my mind as well as my body.

Congrats on your new life. You will go through a lot of adjustments in your head & body. But it's all for the good. This is the best thing you have done for yourself. Keep us posted.

You will and you can, keep positive and know that you are worth it. Congratulations on your success this far!!

Peace and love from San diego
