The Starting Point

Well, it's January 1st. Normally, I'd try to make some resolution to lose 20 lbs and get in shape but, this year, I'm skipping the resolutions. They never come to pass. I always fall off the wagon a few weeks into the year. I'm done beating myself up over failures.

 

In August 2011, I started the process for the sleeve. I am down to just a few more appointments over the next couple of weeks and my package can be submitted for approval. I am scared and excited all at the same time. :)

 

As of today, here are my stats:

 

Height: 5'4"

Weight: 226.2 lbs

BMI: 38.8

 

Measurements:

Waist: 48"

Chest: 48"

Hip: 50"

Arm: 14"

Thigh: 26"

Calf: 16"

 

I turn 40 on Dec 6th. With the help of the sleeve, I hope to weigh 125 lbs by then. Wish me luck!

Wow, we are basically the same size and weight, and measurments. I am not sleeved yet but hope to be early this year. It will be interesting to follow your progress.

I'm two weeks today, and had studied quite a lot before having the sleeve done. Two things I would like to have known in advance:

- Get some unflavored protein powder. I live in a small town and can't find it so I had to order. And I use it a lot now.

- Have a heating pad and use it on your abdomin; the warmth helps the gas permeate.

Good luck!
