The day I decided to have surgery I weighed 286lbs. The day of surgery I was 274.

Today it is a little over 3 months out and I am at 224. 62 lbs GONE in three months!

I am very fortunate to have a tolerant sleeve. I eat very normally! Sweets make me feel gross, so I eat MUCH LESS sweet stuff than I used to. But I can eat part of a cookie if I want. For lunch today I at about half of a kids chicken tender meal (1.5 tenders) with gravy from Whataburger. French fries make me feel full before I have a chance to eat any Protein, so I usually eat only three french fries. Other than that, I eat what my family eats. Last night was grilled chicken, mashed potatoes, and corn. I ate 1/2 a small breast, 3 tbsp of potatoes and two bites of corn.

It's awesome. I feel great, am getting compliments left and right, and am needing to buy new clothes every month or so. Now I'm in a 16 bottom and XL top.

I'm not a sleever yet, but it's weird because potatos full me and I don't want to eat anything or have a feeling for wanting something sweet. However bread is the devil for me. I won't even bother with any junk food. I've been trying to lose prior to surgery, etc. and with that have been charting down what I eat, and OMG, pastries are like a drug, and it's a good think I can pinpoint it, and leave it alone.
