My almost 500 lb life....

Hello all my name is Jennifer I'm from connecticut I was sleeved on December 17,2014 one week before Xmas and I'll never do it again before a major holiday start of process was November 2013 I weighed 459 started nutrition classes Feb of 2014 and had surgery that Dec it's been real hard to say the least today I weigh 320 I've dropped 2 pant sizes 1 shoe size and 4 shirt sizes my Boobs were a 54 Dd DOWN to a 48D the hardest part of surgery afterwards was all the gas floating around that hurt bad so it forced me to walk so I'd burp or pass gas to get it out. .. I spent 3dys in hospital it was filled with warm welcoming nurses kind supportive drs and staff that came in 3 to 4 times a day and motivated me to get up and do some laps around the hall. .. honestly after surgery I wasn't even hungry at ALL they gave me water and glucerna JUST for hospital stay not for home and no lie it was 2 Oz at a time I started off with a medicine measures full I'd have to get it down in an hr ... I'll write more tomorrow I'm Fallin asleep. ..
