Before picture was in Oct 2013
after picture was about 3 weeks ago (i dont keep my bedroom that messy - i was going through clothes that no longer fit)
Down 105lbs

YES! I was "sleeved" on Dec 11 2013... and almost right away I noticed a change - I have always had keen sense of smell - but now... it’s crazy... and my sense of taste... holy craziness!
I use to LOVE bacon, pork chops, HAM… they use to be my very own food group… NOT anymore! Even tap water… I can taste the chemicals, so I do bottled (sigh)…
Really anything that has been processed has a funny chemical taste to me… like Pasta, bread etc… I can taste the flour and salt etc… CAKES… omg they are disgusting now, they are just grossly sweet… its really helped with my weight loss… because foods that I would “go to” are no longer appealing to me. I have lost 73lbs in 4 months… I don’t know if I would have, had it not been for my taste buds being completely different…

Hi All
I was a year out as of Dec 11, 2014 - over the weekend was with some gf and tried on dresses... got to say I smiled ear to ear when i zipped up a size 6 & their voices all said WOW!!!

3rd pic is from Oct 2013 - 4th pic is from Sat Jan 24, 2015
The sleeve CHANGED MY LIFE! best thing i have ever done!!! wishing you all a happy day!

My Husband & I were on a power walk/jog... it had just poured... 1/2 way through the path was flooded out about 15 feet long... he picked me up and carried me through the Water (i had brand new sneaks on & HE didnt want them to get ruined!!)
First time he has been able to carry me! i cried tears of joy... he laughed... HAHA

@@LynRN the bottom... unless i was bending over,,, then out the top they came...lol i went from busting out of a 42DDD to 38D & really i think i could be in a 36 already... My mom came over one day & said "I think you need to go see Vicky about a Secret, cause whatever you are wearing under there isn't working anymore"

old habbits die hard.... was feeling a little low today just not myself so went shopping during lunch... out of habbit, i went to the plus size clothes till i held something up to me and the light went off... so i scooted out of that section and went to larges... still too big... found a few tops size MED scored a pair of Jeans size 8!!! bye bye mush mush mood... and hello size 8!!!!

This was taken on 10/12/13

Down 105lbs - I am so glad i got sleeved! I LIVE my life now... I dont hurt, or dread the stairs. I fit in an airplane seat with so much extra seat belt (yes i took a picture of the space now between me & the belt)
(sorry for the mess on my bed - its not normally like that - i was pulling out clothes that no longer fit)
Anyway - it was all worth it... I have never been happier.

I think i would love to be 8-10, i am currently in a 12-14 (14's are too big & 12s are just a bit too tight) but if i got into a 6, its not like i wont be doing the happy dance... cause i totally will be... i just think 8-10 is a good range for me and my build...

Took my son to FL to see the EX & family... one day it was raining, so X-mother in law wanted to go shopping... we all went.
She picked out 2 form fitting dresses - SIZE 10!!
I go into the dressing room with just her waiting for me, to coming out of dressing room to everyone waiting...
Ex-Husband says "HOT DAMN ummm.. REMIND ME WHY WE ARENT TOGETHER?"... my reply "cause you were an idiot" and his mother & Sister laugh agreeing with me...
how does the saying go....
Flight to FL $400
New Dresses $150
Expression on Ex's Face... PRICELESS!!!

Once you lose the weight - most of us tend to forget why we did WLS in the first place... To get healthy... and it becomes more about what we look like...
So some of us end up with some extra skin... it happens... but i accepted that before hand knowing that might happen... I have extra skin around my stomach area, and very lose skin in my upper thigh area... but i FEEL good, i can get up and down the steps, have fun & LIVE.
