cantwaittolose 163 Posted August 6, 2013 I love myself again, that's as plain and simple as I can say it! August 2nd was my 1 year mark and I am down 138 pounds as of this morning. LIFE IS GOOD! I'd like to lose another 40-50 pounds to really get the results I want. The sleeve was the tool I needed so desparately and it has worked just as I hoped it would. I got my life back. I got me back. I am happy again. I am full of life again. There are SOOO many positive things to list. I couldn't even fathom that I would be this happy a year ago. Yea, I thought I'd lose weight, but in the back of all our minds we are still self-doubting, self-sabotaging, etc., etc., etc. but I really didn't think I would end up here. I am training for a half marathon (walking), I do paddle boarding, I am DATING (miracle!), I am active with my kids, my friends (I actually WANT to go out!) my family. I just have fun in life again. The Sleeve was my life saver and I would do it a million times over in a heart beat. To anyone struggling, just know that each day gets better. I do feel very lucky in that I have not had any side effects, I eat what I want and never feel deprived - YES I eat better than I ever have, but it's because of this tool. I hope everyone has had the success that I have had. Lots of love and support to all my sisters out there (and brothers!)!!!! The Sleeve ROCKS!!!!

acampbell1318 58 Posted August 6, 2013 You look great! I am supposed to have my surgery in January and can't wait but at the same time I am afraid I will not do as good as everyone else on here for the lack of motivation to exercise. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
