Wouldn't believe it if i wasn't living it!

I was sleeved on Jan 17th and I've lost 55lbs!!! The transformation of the reflection in the mirror is almost unbelievable as I can't believe I made this decision, actually followed thru with it and have been living a COMPLETELY different life since. I never thought I would be able to stick to the diet changes, etc prior to the surgery however after the surgery its like my brain was also rewired with the removal of the stomach portion and I have a completely different thought process about food and I don't feel deprived or like I am missing out on anything because of the minor limitations. Does anyone else feel like this?? I have inspired 2 people at my job to go in for a consult with their dr since seeing the success I am having and I can't believe people are coming to ME (the large girl) for health advice and being told how great my body looks.

Wow would not believe this could happen if I wasn't actually living it. Best decision I have ever made for ME!! Go Sleeve, keep working your magic on me. Smile...

Way to go!

Go, girl! :)

That's so awesome!!!!!! It's true about the whole mind rewiring. The lifestyle changes are crucial and after a while it becomes habit. My other favorite part is that my family has joined in with the clean/healthy eating and being more active outside!! We've allotted Fast-food Friday though and the funny thing is my boys will order things like grilled chicken wraps, no ranch or fries!!! I'll get a salad and part it in 3 ;) It's so worth it!

Way to go!!! :)

Congratulations on your new life! :)

SO HAPPY FOR YOU! :)

I feel the same way - if it wasn't happening to me I don't know if I would believe it! Congratulations on your success so far!
