Yesterday marked 60 days post sleeve. Sometimes I forget that I lost 80% of my stomach until I eat a bite too many. Life is pretty much the same as before, but Im much more active adn happy. I've had so much going on in the past 2 months. I'm down 49 pounds since the start of this journey. I'm almost HALFWAY to my goal!!! I'm graduating from Nursing school in 2 weeks and hopefully I will start my job in June. Despite the rough times, despite missing soda, and despite the second surgery I had to have for my gallbladder, this is the best thing I've ever done for myself. I still haven't told anyone in my family except for my husband and mother in law and I plan to keep it that way. When people ask me what I've been doing, I'll just say exercising and watching my portions. I still eat the same except for bread, pasta, and sodas, so technically I'm not lying

I have a sweet potato that I've been eyeing since I've read your post LOL. I'm pretty sure i made it nervous by the way I'm staring at it.

You go girl! I'm thinking about trying it and keeping an eye on your success!

My husbands name is Scott also and he is an amazing cook as well and alwasy seems to know what I want and need. We seem to be able to feel that about each other. Always have. Sometimes we can even finish each others sentences. I am so glad and fortunate to have him. He is my rock!!! Got to love them!!! By the way, I love reading your post!

I am so excited for you. I am only six days post-op my surgery. I am looking forward to being where you are in your weight loss. So far I am walking and trying to work my way up to walk a mile and a half. I know I will get there in time everyone keep telling me not to push it, and I am not but I can't sit around and wait to heal as some would like me to do. I feel like I need to get it going and keep it going. I hope you don't mind me following you because you have become a great inspiration for me. I might even ask for some advice from time to time. Congratulations to you and keep up the great work.

Dont let yourself get HANGRY. lol. Make sure to eat a little bit even if you aren't hungry. If you get in to the habit of this now, it will be much easier to avoid it when you are back on solids. Being starved makes it really hard to eat an appropriate portion! GOOD LUCK!

wishing the best for you in my prayers!

that's great! I just met my goal weight and I am waiting to meet with my case manager to set my surgery date. Not going to lie, I am terrified! I have never had surgery and I have my fears! I admire your bravery! keep up the good work! Veronica

I've been going over my blog entries and i realized that i have been so miserable and mopey. i could barely stand myself. Just looking back makes me realize that having been overly filled was such a huge mistake that affected me in ways i didn't even notice. Its been 2 days since I had that Huge (to me anyways) unfill, and all the colors are brighter, the day is nicer, and my outlook is happier. I actually had breakfast this morning. Well, it was a small homemade tortilla, but to me that's a huge step forward. I also had a steaming mug of Coffee, but that's nothing unusual. Going to the gym seems like a good idea, but going to the beach with my dogs sounds way better! Still going to run, just a nicer setting!
