I am only 2lbs away from being the lightest I have been since I was 20 (16 years ago)....I have been at this point many times before, but always began to self-sabotage and regained all I had lost and then some. I have no idea what my mental barrier was with the 15 stone mark, but self-sabotage is a non-option this time.

It's a really scary thought entering into this unchartered territory...I have no clue what I will look like and it just seems so abstract that I am having bother processing it just now.

I knew this was coming, but didn't realise quite how big an abyss the number 14 at the beginning of my weight feels.

Anyone experienced similar?

Pats on the head and being told it will all be okay will also be greatly appreciated!

You are doing amazing.... Be strong, break the cycle and you will be fine. You CAN do it !!

Feels amazing, right. You are doing great, and you will look and FEEL awesome! Keep going!

I've never been able to lose more than 40 pounds. Here I am still pre-op and I've lost 43+ pounds! Breaking that mental barrier felt amazing. You will break yours and it will feel amazing too. Good luck! :-)

This is what I love about the sleeve. The ability to lose and KEEP LOSING past all those points I had aimed for before but was never able to achieve on my own. Congrats I am sure it will feel fantastic! Make sure you celebrate your milestone-- do something nice for you!
