Hello All!

For the first time ever, I voluntarily posted a picture of myself on FB. I was sleeved on 3/6/17. Just a couple days after my 49th birthday. My SW was 236, my CW is 163, and GW is 150. Other than my first week being a pure nausea hell, everything else went great.

I do miss eating more than a few bites of food when I'm really enjoying the taste of something. I also miss baking. One of my favorite hobbys. My co workers also miss my baking! Lol

But I feel better than I have in years! I would never have asked for, and gotten there promotion at work, had it not been for the surgery. I knew I wouldn't have been able to do my current job if I didn't lose the weight.

Anyhoooo...my pics

You look so good! Are your incisions gone and healed?

Hi teesdg,

My incisions are all healed but still visible.
Between my gallbladder surgery and then my sleeve surgery, I have so many scars on my stomach, looks like the face of a clock. Lol
