April Sleevers, What Changes Have You Noticed?

I'm curious to know what positive changes April sleevers have already started noticing. Share your changes here!

I was sleeved on April 11th. With the pre-op diet and sleeve, I am down nearly 36 pounds from my highest weight. So far I've noticed that my back no longer hurts when I walk. I also noticed that I'm able to talk while walking to meetings with my co-workers. It's amazing how much of a difference 36 pounds makes!

Now that I'm feeling more like my normal self -- I can look a little deeper at the positive changes (sleeve on 4/18):

-Clothes I haven't been able to wear in a LONG time now fit (not sure why I kept them... but glad I did)

-People are starting to notice and complimenting me.

-My face is getting thinner, and it makes my eyes look bigger

-I actually WANT to exercise, but have to tell myself to chill out a bit as the calorie intake is so low. For now yoga almost daily and about a mile and a half of walking per day.

-That feeling of being satisfied without being completely full to the point of feeling ill -- previously that was the only way I could really be satisfied after eating.

Can't wait to see what another month brings!

I feel the same way waiting to see what next month brings. I just hope walking 4 to 5 miles a day isn't a bad thing for me
