6 Mo Surgiversary!

[Sleeved&Hopeful 182]

Hey guys!

It's my six month surgiversary and everything is moving along smoothly the way I had always hoped and dreamed of. There were a couple of stalls along the way but they never lasted very long and I always knew they'd go away.

Highest weight before pre op diet-225

Weight at surgery-218

6 months post op-143.3

My goal weight is 125-130 range because I'm only 5'4" and I mean right on the nose. So I'm fairly short!

My exercise has been 3-4 times a week of moderate intensity workouts. If I work out too hardcore--I overcompensate by eating more calories than I should be and it eliminates the calories I burned. So i figured I have to do something in between. That is what personally works for me.

Good luck to everyone and I hope everyone is enjoying their sleeves as much as I am! To anyone who is about to have surgery or contemplating it--I can't recommend it enough!

And also wanted to add my diabetes has gone into remission since surgery! I am THRILLED about that! I was diagnosed type 2 diabetic last summer and freaked out! I will always be vigilant about my eating and keeping the sugars/carbs as low as possible because I know diabetes can always come roaring back if I go back to the "old me". The sleeve has helped a lot with that and I'm so very grateful!

was diagnosed type 2 diabetic last summer

I've had Diabetes these past 20 yrs.

My surgeon told me the longer you've had diabetese, the chances are not good for you to get healed

i was one of the lucky ones, after all those 20 years, meds, insulin - NO MORE

yeah for the sleeve
