44lbs - Almost 2 months--My Journey

[myezzence 4]

Hey Sleevettes,

I was sleeved on 07/05/11, man this was a journey. Two weeks after surgery, I was hospitalized for 4 days due to dehydration....they put 15lbs of IV fluids back on my body (but I needed it). Now I have a terrible case of acid reflux..everything I eat affects me, so now my doctor just started me on Nexium. I use to feel like what in the hell have I done, and I had much regret...however I love the way I look now. My self esteem has soared, I started off at 227 lbs (weight at surgery) and now I am 183 lbs. My body, mind, and soul feels better. This was well worth it, in spite of everything I've been through. Just remember your stomach has to readjust itself, but it will get better within time.

Good for you Chanel! I am getting sleeved next week and am trying to mentally prepare for my new relationship with food. Reading stories like yours help me prepare. Thanks for sharing.

Thats awesome! Thanks for sharing! I keep catching myself slacking on the Water situation! I told my hubby to be the water police! I never drank so much water in my life!
