leebick 448 Posted December 14, 2016 I DID IT!! The first number on the scale isn't a "2" anymore! I haven't weighed this little in 24 years. It's amazing- amazing to feel 'normal' again, but also amazing that I let myself get into such terrible shape/weight. The whole sleeve surgery and diet haven't been easy, but it's certainly ben worth it. The only thing I regret about this surgery is that I didn't do it sooner. I can just imagine how life would have been different if I'd done this when my daughter was 13 instead of 23. Still... I am so psyched that I am where I am now. Eighty pounds down, 40-ish to go!!

leebick 448 Posted December 14, 2016 Congratulations!!!! I'm extremely happy for you... I can't imagine standing in your shoes but I'm on my way : ) You'll get there! We have almost the exact same stats- I am 5'5", high weight was 278, started my program at 268 (Dec. 2105). My surgery date was 9/15/16 and now I weigh less than 200 pounds. It's amazing... I feel the happy tears, but also the sad tears that I wasted so many years of my life being overweight, hating myself, and focused on how bad I looked and felt. Now? I just wish I'd done this when I was 40 or 50, instead of waiting until I turned 60. YOU CAN DO THIS!! And thanks, everyone, for the support, advice, and kind words!
