I was sleeved on August the 1st. I am 210. I have lost 35 pounds since surgery and 50 pounds since the start of the year. I didn't take my measurements at the start of the year. I wish I had. I did take them however, the day before my surgery.

Since surgery I have lost a total of 26.5". I am very glad that I have been taking measurements. It allows me to see progress that I wouldn't otherwise notice. For instance, I FEEL like my butt is now flat and wide. I FEEL like I am losing my boobs. In reality however, the majority of my inches lost- has been on my waist. I didn't FEEL like I had lost anything at all on my waist. In reality- I have lost 6.5" just on my waist.

My size 16 jeans are starting to get baggy in the booty. (flat and wide). I had to break down and start wearing other Bras. I refuse to buy new clothes. I have clothes going all the way back to 180. I am now wearing the bras that I wore in my late 20's early 30's. They are a little slutty. I don't remember being this slutty.

So, I dress in the stripper underwear every day and hope that I am not in a car wreck.

No one at work has mentioned that I have lost weight. Not a word. The only people that have said anything to me at all, are the two people that know I had the surgery.

I have noticed I am getting a lot more male attention. It feels odd after being ignored for so long.

I haven't run into my exboyfriend yet (He broke up with me right before my surgery). I am hoping that I will be at goal (whatever that ends up being) and have new fake boobs before I have to see him again.

Shallow I know, but what can I say?
