Four weeks ago today, I was sleeved.  I can't believe the difference a month makes!  It's like my life began again!  I have energy, I'm happy, I'm exercising!!  

Im down 24 pounds since the surgery and 37 pounds from my high weight of 266!  I *kind of* have a goal weight in mind but honestly, I just want to be able to shop in the regular section at Talbots and Ann Taylor.  In one month, I'm close to that! I've gone from a TIGHT 20W pant to a 16W.  In tops, 2X/3X to 1X/XL.  IN A MONTH.

Thank you all so much for walking with me on this journey so far.  I'm sure I'll be with y'all for a long while more.

Oh Steph, just what I needed to hear. I'm 11 days post-op and still feeling weak and tired. I was just told by my NUT that I can start puree on Thursday. I'm hoping it will give me a little more energy. Congratulations on your 4th week. I'm looking forward to mine!!! Christine

Christine, I'm sorry you're still feeling so weak.  Remember that post I did awhile back and everyone responded with how long it took them to feel relatively well again? The responses were all over the map.  You'll get there.  And. I'm sure a little purée boost will help! Xoxo
