In getting myself excited about the upcoming journey, I've decided to list some things I can't wait to say good bye to forever!

  1. the plus size section: though its been a necessity, they never have clothing that fits my stylish personality. ready to wear the stuff I circle in my magazines :)
  2. Triple D bras: Although people pay for breast this size, I'm a living witness that they do a number on one's lower back. Besides paying $70-$100 for one bra that isn't even all that cute, I can finally wear dressy shirts to work that don't look so provocative
  3. Dieting! This probably should've been #1 on my list. Thank goodness to get rid of all the pills and fads and plain ol falling into the trap of trying to lose a few pounds here and there. This weight is going for good!
  4. Never feeling full. I don't know about some, but for me, my appetite matched my weight. I feel so hungry all the time. Ghrelin or whatever that hormone is called has kicked my a@$ for a while and now I can eat feel satisfied.
  5. Size 9 and 10 rings. I hated shopping for jewelry because my fingers were so huge. I'd pick the cutest rings and have to have them re-sized two sizes bigger. Now I have my rings in a standard size
  6. Not being able to finish my mile time in under 13 minutes. When I was in high school I ran track and could run a mile in about 5-6minutes. Since I've been in college, I can't even run a full lap without huffing and puffing for my breath. One thing I will make my top priority is my endurance. LA Marathon here I come

This was just to name a few, but they definitely were some major hinderances in my years of being overweight. I don't know about you other December sleevers, but at least we never have to leave another year obese again! The perfect ending of a year!

Hi princesstia when are you having surgery? I'm Dec 19 and can't wait, I agree it will be amazing to feel full and have no appetite, and to be able to buy anything that isn't a handbag. Good luck with your journey

I love this! I was sleeved December 6th and have been struggling. Keeping the end game in mind really helps! Being overweight has held me back from so many things in my life. I am so excited for me new life!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
