8 Months Out and 122 Down!

[SLF1027 136]

I had my sleeve done in September 2013. It's been 8 months since surgery and I have lost 122 pounds. I came from 350, BMI of 52 to 228, BMI 33. I walked into surgery wearing size 28 pants and a 30/32 top and today i noticed my size 18's were a little saggy in butt! I walked 4.5 miles today before I got tired and that in and of itself is a miracle! I'm so glad I made the decision to have this procedure, it has helped me so much. Though I am doing well, I struggle EVERY DAY to make good food choices. I'm (head) hungry all the time for all the wrong foods and it's a constant battle. Some days I lose, but most days I do well.

My original goal was to get to the size I was in junior high school, size 18. But now that I'm here, I've readjusted my goal to a "normal" BMI of 24, which means I have 63 pounds to go.

I thank all of you for your support as I silently stalk all of your posts. They help me stay on track and stay motivated to be better

Wow what a transformation. Yes, we will all have to deal with head hunger. However, the sleeve gave me the ability to easily determine head hunger vs "real hunger". Since Sept , 2013 I see a psychologist who,specializes in food relationship, I,e, emotional eating in addition to a nut who helps me with my food plan and my relationship with food..especially my old habits.
