NothingUpMySleeve 244 Posted June 14, 2014 Yesterday was my 6 month surgiversary. When I was researching the sleeve, I used to LOVE the surgiversary posts, so I figured I'd pay it forward I've lost 50 lb., and last night I went to dinner in a size 4 pencil skirt, sleeveless blouse, and strappy sandals. Six months ago I was in dumpy jeans that were cutting into my tummy and shapeless oversized sweatshirts. I know the what I've lost might not sound huge to some, but it's a lot when you're short and small-framed. My first month really sucked, but it's gotten so much better. My bum's a little droopier than I'd prefer, and my hair is a bit thin, but I love that I can wear shorts without shame. I love not being the fat mom at the playground. I love giving a presentation at work and not obsessing over how fat I look to the audience. I love that my liver enzymes are finally in control. Weight loss doesn't solve all your problems, but it really does make daily life a hell of a lot nicer. 4 blondiebabs, MRhynard11, barbb3 and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
meatball1 29 Posted June 14, 2014 You are doing great! I am only 5 feet tall and am out 7 months and lost 40pounds. But as you said. It's not high numbers but I was in a 16 -7 months ago and a loose 10 now. If I got down to an 8 I don't know how I will act. I never could sustain anything below a 10. 1 NothingUpMySleeve reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
