Peronella 2 Posted March 22, 2011 On 1 October, my 3 year old niece pointed to my tummy and asked if my baby was coming soon. Devastated, I immediately started South Beach. After 2 weeks, I lost .8 pounds. I couldn't believe it. That was when I decided to investigate surgical options. I went to a seminar on 16 October and I was convinced. I started my journey that very day. I drank my last soda, smoked my last cigarette. I was sleeved on 20 December. Now, 3 months later, I have lost exactly 60 pounds. I am no longer "severly obese" just "obese". I recently flew for a weekend away and didn't need a seatbelt extender. I can shop in the non-plus side of my favorite store, rather than order everything online. I can walk 4 miles in a row without having a small stroke. And most of all, I feel hopeful for my future for the first time in a decade. So, I am thankful that my little niece made me cry back in October, God love her!
