Hi everyone. I'm doing a bunch of pics right now and I look up at the calendar... and to what do happen to see? Today is the 15th. It is my monthly Sleeversary!!! Today I am exactly 14 months post op. I can't really keep up anymore. For some reason I thought I was 15 months out. Anywhoo... I just thought I would share a few photos with you all. I haven't done this in a really long time.

At my highest weight I was over 330 Lbs. I wore a TIGHT size 28W and 3-4X tops.

Today I am 175 Lbs (height 5'7). I wear a solid 6 and S or XS tops. I recently bought a Size X Small workout pants. I'm just blown away... I seriously thought I'd never be living my dream. BUT I AM!!!!! You will too... work hard and always believe. This WILL be your reality too, for all those just starting out or looking into getting the VSG. Best. Thing. I've. Ever. Done.

I did this by... hard work and many workouts. I am a runner. I pull 2-3 hours of intense workouts 6 days per week. Ok, not in the last few weeks, but that's because my legs have been thru a tornado. Anyway, my eating habits were very simple. Semi low carbs. Around 60g total for the day. I indulged from time to time. I was never perfect. My best buddy besides the sleeve however that got me here? MY POSITIVE ATTITUDE. I wear it well.

Wow woman, you look amazing. All that running really can change the shape of your body. I'm 15lbs less than you and I probably look like I weigh 30lbs more. You can see how the muscle you have really changes your body structure. I need to get exercising, i want to! Where is my motivation!? Other than running what else do you do to work out? You look fab congrats on all your success you def worked for it and deserve it all! :youcandothis:

Diva, as per usual you've left me speechless... you look absolutely-bloody-amazing! I know 'looks' aren't the reason for your motivation, but hell... you look fantastic! ( always did in my humble opinion!)

I feel soooo proud of you... and want you to know that each and every word that write is really important around here. You put the positive spin on ALL situations and that makes a real difference.

Yep! You certainly are our cheerleader...

Irene. You are the entire reason I went through with my surgery. You being so positive and honest about the entire process was what got me through the days after. You have helped me in some many ways you have no idea. I hope you know that there are some that may never comment on things being posted and are just kinda hanging in the shadows but they are soaking up everything. Thank you for being the person you are. You have made this world a better place. God bless you.

Awwwee you all totally made me smile... Yeahh!!! Julie, that's why do this!! I believe in this procedure so much. I just can't say it enough!!

Lotsa love to you all. Your dreams WILL COME TRUE!! Hang in... it's all around the corner.
