May 2014 Sleevers-How are you?

[melissaingr 75]

Just wondering how my fellow May 2014 sleevers are doing. We're almost at a year. How many pounds are you down? Are you sticking to your diet? Still losing? Are you being active? What has changed the most for you since surgery? How are you feeling? Like a new person or still coming to terms with your new self?

I'm doing well. Still losing, slowly now. I'm down to a weight I can be happy with but I am going to the gym to tone up some areas. I have the underarm jiggle and my butt is really squishy. lol. I'm not too strict with my diet anymore. I can only eat a little at at time. MOST of the time I make good Protein packed choices, but sometimes I eat junk. I've been getiing a lot of compliments in the last few months which is strange for me because I've never had that before. I still feel overweight until I look at a picture and realize how far I've come.

Last night my Dad emailed me some "before" pictures because I deleted all of mine and my suregeon's office wanted some. I looked at the pictures and got really emotional. I remember the days of searching for something to wear that wouldn't look too bad, feeling sub-par because I was the biggest one in the room, not being able to run or be really active because it was just too difficult with all of that extra weight. I'm so thankful that I took the step to change my life. I hope you are too!
