4.5 mo post sleeve - update

[seeingme 91]

Hey peoples!

I had my sleeve done on December 7, 2016, so I'm a little over 4 months out. Can I just say, I feel amazing!!!!!

I was wearing size 18 jeans on surgery day, and last week I bought size 10s, which fit me comfortably. With only 15 lbs left to my goal I will probably drop one more size, but I don't expect more than that. I am happy with it! I expect these last pounds I'll have to work a bit harder to lose. Time to ramp up the exercise now that spring has finally arrived!

A few weeks ago I started having problems with my gallbladder, which I had removed on 3/31. The last week or so before I had that surgery I was retaining a lot of Fluid, and anything I ate or drank caused excruciating pain so I was getting dehydrated, and the Fluid retention caused me to gain about 4 lbs. Prior to getting sick I was at a stall at 168, then gained to 172, which was very depressing for me because I couldn't figure out what was going on since I seemed to be living on air! LOL I didn't realize how sick that thing was making me until I got it out.The day after surgery I was running around like a mad woman, catching up on laundry and cleaning. I felt GREAT, except for the fact I couldn't eat anything. It took my body about a week to adjust without rebelling. Now I feel pretty good again, and all that fluid weight is gone. I still have to eat a bit more carefully without my gallbladder, but at least I feel good again!

I have no regrets about my decision to have sleeve done, and every day am amazed at how different I feel from just four months ago.
