I am 2 weeks away from my 6 months mark and ... I am finally feeling better and stronger so I actually want to exercise now! Never thought I'd say that! ...

I am the same way. I actually look forward to going to my M-W-F boot camp classes!

Tomorrow (4/24) is my 6 month surgiversary. I would like to attach a before and after picture, but can't figure out how to attach it to my post.

Before surg: 203

Current: 137

12 pounds until I reach my personal goal, 2 pounds until I reach my surgeon's goal. I feel fantastic! I love my sleeve and my new lease on life. Completely eliminated my diabetes, hypertension, high cholesterol, sleep apnea, fatigue, painful joints, Migraines and depression.

Hello fellow Octosleevers!! I hope everyone is doing great. Sunday is my birthday & I have a pretty great gift for myself: I'm almost overweight!! Yippee!!! Soooo, if - no, WHEN - I lose .4 more pounds I will officially hit "overweight" status!!!! And to think that this time last year I was still on the fence about the surgery & hadn't even found my surgeon yet. Now I'm 68+ pounds lighter & my self esteem is through the roof. I'm celebrating my bday ALL weekend long with friends tonight, family tomorrow, a new flirt interest on Sunday, and a day off from work on Monday to recover from it all. I'm hoping the weather is nice on Monday - I may head to the beach for the day & rock this sleeve in a new bikini :-)

Lol - well Monday didn't find me at the beach: it was like a monsoon here in Raleigh that day. But my birthday weekend was everything I had hoped for, plus more. I even hit "overweight" with a flourish: not just that .4 lbs I was looking to lose, but actually down 4 lbs in 2 days! Might have had something to do with the liquid (alcohol) diet I maintained for the better part of 24 hours considering neither of us was in any shape to call out for food.... <3 my sleeve !!!!!
