7/8 months post op

I've looked back on my sleeve journey since October. I have had some bad days as of late but I'm trying to look at how far I've come.

I started at 311lbs I am currently 229lbs. 82lbs loss is not where I thought I would be at this point - I thought it would be more but it is what it is.

The positives I have lost 20 yes 20% percent of my body fat when I started. I have lost 38 inches all over. 10 from the waist and chest and 8 from the hips and I am down 14 BMI. I started working out with a Personal trainer and couldn't do 1 squat now I'm doing a May squat challenge.

The negatives are I'm not drinking as much Water as I would like and I have picked up some of my bad habits that I am trying to rid of which has been hard but this whole journey is what it says a journey. It's been 'fun' figuring out the things that I cannot eat anymore.... NOT lol but it's part of the process.

Would I have the weight loss surgery again.....I'm still hmmmm and ahhhh about this. Would I have liked to tried a little harder than going to the extreme of cutting out 75% of my stomach?? oh yeah BUT on the other hand I'm glad I did it because my portions are restricted. Sometimes I forget to eat because I'm not hungry and I have to force myself to eat.

It's been a process and having the surgery has changed my outlook on life. I've definitely become a fitter me and I am looking forward to where the rest of my will take me.

I hope everyone is having great success after their surgery and look forward to hearing from you all about your experiences.

I exhausted all options before getting wls, true for 5 years and just gained and got bigger. It's non reversible and I think it's normal to feel like what if I would've coulda shoulda? For me, had I not gone through with it, I'd be regretting it right now.
