I have been lying to myself about how over weight I was. I put that I started at 270 even tho I was 290 when I started my journey to a new me. I was so ashamed to be that heavy. I then look at the other posts and i thought I am not alone. I changed my ticker to say I started at 290. I know I will not be judged on this site. I have been so beat down about my weight. in truth I was only lying to myself. Everyone else could see that i was almost 300 pounds. My husband knew it but decided to keep his mouth shut. (smart man) Not that it mattered to him. he loves me any size or shape. He is happy that I am getting the sleeve. He has been so supportive.

Thanks for letting me vent.

That is awesome

What were some key things you did with the sleeve to get the weight off?

the first 27 lbs. were pre-op. when I left the hospital after 5 months of no eating due to complications with my sleeve I was down 90 total....Since then I struggled to even eat for the first 3 months and lost a lot more...

It has been a blast to lose this weight but not without a huge cost to me and my family...

I hired a trainer recently and I am moving on to the next step..muscle rebuilding....

It has been a up and down journey for me..no special things done..Portion size and learning what is happening in this head of mine...It is all connected..

Sorry I don't have some more exciting revelations to share..But it has been hard work from the beginning to the end for me...There are a lot of people on here that sailed through..They would be the ones you need to get the info from.....k
