Nanna509 1 Posted May 3, 2010 Haven't had a chance to post in a while. Just thought I'd share my progress. I'm 5'6 starting weight was 250 and am now at goal at 143. Down from a size 22 to a 6-8 (depending on the brand). This was the best decision I've ever made. For those of you thinking about the surgery, it is a wonderful TOOL. I do work out 6 days a week but now i really look forward to that. I still try to really limit carbs because they settle very well for me. I probably will still try and loose another 5 pounds or so just to give myself some wiggle room. LOVE MY SLEEVE!!!!:lol0: Best wishes to all of you out there beginning your journey. It's soooo worth it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ouroborous 519 Posted May 3, 2010 I agree. Reading all of these stories about people who are so successful with this surgery also helps me remember that this is the right choice. I think that as a lifelong obese person, I've grown so "used to" being fat that I may have almost forgotten that it's possible to feel differently! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CraftyChristie 62 Posted May 5, 2010 Wow! Congratulations you have worked hard and it has paid off. I think staying away from the carbs really speeds things up... that seems to be key with everyone who has been successful quickly. I need to keep reminding myself of this when it's my turn What kind of workouts do you do 6 days a week? Thanks for telling us about your progress! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
