HOLY TORPEDO JUICE BATMAN!!!!!

[blackmikeg 1]

sleeved on 8/15/11 and through pre surg and post op lost a total of 45 pounds so far. I guess I underestimated just how much weight that was. Anyhoo, I was sitting at my desk at work and saw a co worker cross his leg. I havent attempted this in probably the last 8 years. I just did it to be cute and crap it worked. I can put my leg fully on top of the other in a sitting position. WHOA MAMA!!! Its the little things us soon to be former fat people appreciate that these skinny people take for granted. It may seem small but thats encouragement enough for me to see that I am on the right path and this was a good decision!!!

Congrats on the 45 lbs, that is phenomenal!! You're doing great! I have to agree, it is most definitely the simple things like tying my shoes, painting my toenails, shaving my legs, etc that remind me everyday that I made the right choice to be sleeved. Thanks for sharing the story, it's a great NSV!!

That's awesome. I agree, sometimes it is the little things that make this completely worth while.
