One Year Surgiversary - with Pics

[kyllfalcon 768]

This week I will have my one year surgiversary!! It seems like just a few months rather than a year!

Please don't get put out with me when I tell you that the decision to be sleeved was absolutely the hardest part - everything else has been really easy since. I am fully aware my experience has been a blessed one! I was sleeved on March 14 of 2012, and hit goal around New Years. I am maintaining easily and can eat almost anything I want.

I feel so much better, I get around so much better, I walk quickly, I sleep well. I am just so happy! I truly feel 30 years younger in one year's time. I have regained my interest in girly stuff such as clothes, makeup, hair, whereas before I just put on the next old black thing in my closet and stumped out the door ugly!

I wanted to share my success story so that those in the research stage can know that while some sleevers have problems, other sleevers sail through. I was lucky to be a Sleeve Sailor!

Thanks for all the help and support y'all have been!!

BTW, that's from a size 3X to a size M/12.

Wow! U look AMAZING and happier. I was sleeved a year ago today. Isn't it crazy how much we have changed in one year? I too, used to not care much about my appearance- I wore a lot of black, jeans, and baggy sweatshirts. Yesterday I treated myself to a mani/pedi and I actually care what I look like. I feel awesome as well. Congrats on ur success and happy surgiversary!!

I think I need to take some official ones. I only have candids which I use as profile pics.

This is me running a half this weekend. Not the best or most flattering pic, BUT it represents my new lifestyle and outlook since being sleeved. I have a couple on my profile as well like my before pic.
