That is SO awesome, I am jealous of your will power!! I was doing really good in the beginning at not weighing myself all the time. Then at about 205lbs I started weighing daily because I wanted to see myself hit 199, and now I've formed this terrible habit!! I'm totally going to just make my husband hide it somewhere I can't reach (back to being so short, heh)

I'm also a size 16 right now, started out as a tight 18 (should have been 20 but I just refused), and they are getting loose. I tried on a pair of 14 jeans and they are TIGHT, but they button and zip so I was pretty excited. I think in about 2 weeks they'll fit the way they are supposed to, LOL.

I can't wait to hear what progress you've made!!

You CAN do it!! The one piece of advice that I will give you is just to take it easy. I am a firm believer that stress stalls weight loss. Stress, in my opinion, causes your body to fight against changes that are naturally happening to it, and then it becomes a vicious cycle (stress causes no weight loss, no weight loss causes more stress, etc...) so really just go easy on yourself and follow what feels right. I am no role model when it comes to post-op dieting because I am VERY relaxed. My calories fluctuate daily... sometimes I am low-carb, sometimes I'm not. I make healthy choices, but I DON'T diet. Dieting and the restrictions I put on myself got me to the point where I needed surgery. I chose the sleeve because I needed help with portions - if I needed help choosing the right foods I probably would have gone with a bypass instead. The sleeve has helped with what I needed - everything in moderation. So I focus on Protein and Water, and if I want something in between, I have it! The lack of "never ever" in my life has really helped me stay calm and in control. That, full circle, is why I feel like the weight has come off.

But what I really wanted to emphasize here is that you WILL do it!! I can't wait to hear from you and all the great goals you've achieved. Keep me updated!

I surely will
