2015-Update 2 years and 9 months Post-Op

Well I see I haven't been on here in some time.  I always looked at other peoples posts and said how could you not stay on here... Its true, life does take over and you get busy. Quick update. It will be three years this April and I started off at 346 and I currently weigh 165.5.  I wont say its been all easy. IT IS A TOOL PERIOD!! You still have to do the work and fight for what you want.  I have slacked off the gym some I was going 6 days a week for about 1.5 years now I'm doing maybe 3-4 sometime 5 if its a good week and I'm not busy.  I'm just bored with it to be honest.  Life is great could always be better but I'm alive and have a roof over my head and food in my pouch lol.  If your thinking of having the Sleeve GO FOR IT!  It is the best thing I have ever done for myself and I cant say that enough.  Don't let others tell you its taking the easy way out.  I still have some issues, I'm currently working on eating when I'm bored at work.  So my plan has been to set alarm on my phone to when I can eat and also wear a pipe cleaner ring to remind me of "Healthy Eating" I have to say sounds stupid but its working! That's all that matters. I have been lucky in my journey to be able to eat anything and when I mean anything its anything from a slice of pizza to a donuts to chicken and rice. A lot of people cant eat those things but we are human and will at some point eat it. You just have to have control and not make it a habit. You just have to remember where you have come from and WHY you took this journey.  Take lots of pictures they will help you through your journey and help you make GOAL!.

Congrats on your great successes!  

So glad that everything is still going so well for you. That's awesome!

Thank you for posting just at the right time!  My surgery is today, and I am up in the middle of the night, nervous!  I know it is the right thing for me, but it is still a bit scary.  The positive stories really help.  Congratulations on your determination and success.  I hope I have a similar outcome!

Congratulations on your success!  

How amazing! You should be very proud!! You are inspiration to me. I'm 346 right now & starting this journey. I'm scared but excited as well. I have 5 months until surgery because my insurance requirements but it will be here fast. Thank you for sharing!!!
