Imlosing big

I must say I truly love my sleeve. I have lost 82 lbs thus far. I get mistaken for a student everyday I work at a high school. During Halloween week the kids were having a party and they gave me a flyer thinking I was a student. I'm 30 years old so it feels good to be mistaken as a student some days. I can shop anywhere without fear of not being able to fit in the clothes. it's crazy because I stay on ebay shopping trying to find clothes that no one has mostly from China. My mind has yet to catch up with my weight loss. I haven't been this small since middle school. And even then I was bigger than the other kids. Being 145 as a child is not cool but as an adult you long to be that size. I love to dress up on the weekends as before basketball shorts and t-shirt use to suffice my desire to put on clothes. Now i have to jump fly everyday. I have longed for this day for so long. I wish I could have experienced this during college, Although i did get down to 159 for a day. It's strange when your over 200lbs you want to be 180 then when you get there you still feel big. Now I truly understand when people who are that size they want to be smaller. When I was larger and would here that I use to say to myself hell I wish I was 180 now I'm saying hell I wish i was 140..lol I know I'll get there and to tell the truth I have been to the gym maybe three times and my legs show I just can't bring myself to go...

You are not alone when I first had my surgery I craved food. I would lick things I couldn't have just to get that taste in my mouth. After a week I was tired of liquids. For a month I ate only hot and sour soup or chili. You get tired of eating the same thing. i was always trying to stretch my sleeve to see what I could handle sometimes it caused me great pain. I remember being two months out and craved a burger so bad I took two bites and it felt like my stomach was about to cave in I threw it all up. It gets better after about four and half months out. Up until I was about three and half weeks out i could barely get down a bottle of water without feeling really tight and full. I was scared to take my medicine because of the size of the pill and it hurt to get them down at first. Now I'm 7 months out and I look at the plate size at a restaurant and think DAMN that's a lot of food. I know my limits now although I still try to push because my mind is bigger than my stomach.

good luck keep us posted

WOW what an amazing transformation!!!

congrats you're doing so great!!

congrats you looking good!!!!

I always share with my husband i eat very little.

I concur with the stall I'm 7 months out. But my losing is always the same each month I never lose until it's close to my time of the month. when that time comes I shed 5lbs it's been that way since 4 months out. It's so predictable that i don't even waste my time weighing myself until it gets close to that time. So I basically stall for four weeks then I lose.
