I started my weight loss journey with the gastric sleeve on August 3, 2016. I have hit several stalls along the way, but I have embraced them for what they are. Never let anyone tell you that you are taking the easy way out!! It is by no means EASY! It is painful because you have a major operation, you mourn the loss of your best friend, food, and you experience different side effects like malnutrition (in the beginning), constipation, and being cold all the time. But I would do it all over again to feel as amazing as I do now!!!!

You are an inspiration. I'm post op sleeve 1 week. Thank you for posting this. Sometimes I feel alone on this journey because people are quick to criticize your decision. I often keep my success and pitfalls to a small circle of people. It's so true... it's like losing a best friend. Sometimes I feel moody because I can't eat what I use to. This is truly not easy, forums like these helps to cope with the drastic change and to see inspirations like you and find comfort in knowing that weight loss is a journey and success comes in many shapes. Thank you again for the inspiration. You look great.

newimage2017 Thank you so much! I am here if you ever need anyone to talk to. Same for you Toni Ha! It is a hard road to go down, but especially if you don't have support from friends and family. I was lucky to have my loved ones support. Let me know if I can help at all!
