starsleeve 31 Posted October 18, 2012 Hey there.. So I was sleeved on 4/27/12- starting weight was 245, today I am at 179 which is a loss of 66 LBS I am beyond excited!!! i gotta say the only struggle at this point in the game is mentally being able to continue making those good decisions. I am starting to crave sweets and so far since surgery i have been doing great but its becoming a bit more difficult!! But i still have faith and strength to continue to be successfull!!! The photo to the left is taken the day of surgery ( no make up or anything on) and the picture to the right was taken on sunday (at my 6th month mark) GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE!!! IT's been an amazing journey this far! 6 Alithinos, zoriahdiana5, SensationallySassyT and 3 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jojiblossom 14 Posted October 18, 2012 You look fantastic. I'm just 5 days after surgery and 66lbs seems so far off. I'm still on liquids and craving anything with a bit of texture now. Roll on the next few weeks and getting back to solid food. Thanx for posting your pics. It's really encouraging for us that are just starting this journey. Keep up the brilliant work! You're inspiring us. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
starsleeve 31 Posted October 18, 2012 Thank you!! it has truly been a journey- the 1st couple days/weeks were mentally hard for me because i knew i couldnt eat what i mentally wanted to, but now Its even harder because I am at the point that I can physically eat those foods and now I am working on mentally training myself to say NO! Every day is a new day and if i can use my struggles/sucess to inspire someone then it makes me feel better! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
