It has been one year since we all have been sleeved give or take a few weeks, wondering how everyone is doing? This surgery has changed my life. Down from 246-250 range to 123-126. It has opened new doors, some good, some bad. Anyone have a shopping fetish for small new clothes, like me? I love my sleeve.

You look fabulous and can't wait to look like you !

But in a brunette version!

surgery has changed my life.

awwwwww bud

great pics!!!!

you look awesome in that lovely pink dress

love that multi colored necklace you are wearing in your before pic

ooooops, my mistake thats the dog

you are much cuter

happy surgiversary!!!!!

if i had known, i would have "baked" you one of my special plain FAGE 0% yogurt

mixed with fresh blueberries

topped off with granola - yum yum!!!! ( I have once a day!!)

I'm 2.5 yrs PO

i DO remember/think of my "old" life on an occasion

you name anything in "reason" i can now do it

but............i still can't play the piano or juggle

but of course, you guessed it - wait for it

i never could do them pre-op either!!

i never kept any of my old gigantic clothes (wish i had saved a few)

A few months ago i went to Kohl's

I purchased the same ol' terrible 2X elastic waist jeans that i always wore pre-op

i knew exactly where they were in the plus section

they are now hanging in the back of my closet

just as a reminder of what my world was pre-op

size 22/24 before WLS

now size 6

was 235 - now 130 and standing (very tall)!

You can't possibly know how wonderful, healthy, happy i am now

Oh............wait a minute!!!

You know EXACTLY how i feel!!!!

"sometimes" my husband might hang up his own shirt

periodically he'll say something like, "where have all the hangers gone??"

then he'll say - "oh, you've been shopping again!!!"

he laughs with me!!!

i can see you look wonderful

so do i!!!!

remember - i am cute as a button

well, not really!!!!

then again LOL

Life is Great !!!!

you/me/we all deserve only the best!!!!!

continued health, happiness for the rest of your longer life

I've lost 50 lbs. and feel great. I'm more active and enjoying life. I'm disappointed that I haven't lost more, but I keep plugging away.
