It's been one year since I got the sleeve. 113 lbs gone! Not only am I healthier, I weigh under 200 lbs, which hasn't happened in 18 years, I can buy clothes in the misses section instead of the plus size! That is what really did it for me. Buying my first pair of pants in the misses. Wow!

I did it! 100 pounds gone! Still amazing to think that in 7 months I've lost 100 lbs. Never could have I did it without having the sleeve. I feel so much better health wise and also look wise.

I have 9 more pounds to go to get under 200 lbs. Thats when it will really hit me. Seeing a 1 to start my weight. Been 18 years since I seen that!

 

6 months since surgery. It's gone by fast! I can't believe the transformation my body has gone through. I have bones protruding! I'm so close to the 100 lbs mark and have lost 37"! I know I could never have done it without the sleeve. The sleeve has changed my life. I am healthier, able to do more, in less pain....and the list goes on.

Going in a few days for my 6th month check up. Hopefully all ok. I know I'm still not getting all my liquids in. Not exercising like I should either. :( But after the move my plan is to get back to doing more. I would love to be able to get out of plus size clothes.

Wow. 3 months have gone by since surgery. Went in for my labs and 3 month check. Looking good. Protien was just a bit down but nothing to worry about. Down 55 pounds since surgery. They said I'm a bit above average but thats ok. I asked what the doctors goal weight for me was. She said 190-210. Was kinda surprised it was that high. But its something I think I'll feel comfortable with.
Having to buy new clothes now. Pants wise I am down 2-3 sizes. At work, everyone keeps saying how good I look. Nice to know it's really noticable. Of course, I notice it also now.
I'm feeling so much better! I can breathe, move...I just need to find time to exerecise though. Schedule is really hard right now. :(

Have picked up a few new clothes. I have gone down almost 4 sizes in pants! Today I bought a t-shirt in XL! From a 4X to XL? Wow! I'll say the XL is a big tight for my liking yet but I was buying it for a bit later when the temps get cooler. Now all I need our new bras so they won't sag so much. LOL

On another note, have been in a bit of a stall these past couple weeks. Weight isn't really changing. :( Trying not to get frustrated...Almost 3 months out...will take measurements again then. Can't wait to see how many more inches gone. :)

Been back to work for 4 days now. Each day I have at least a couple people ask me about losing weight. They say I'm looking good! :) No one knew I was having surgery so they are all asking questions on how I did it. Getting alot of positive comments so that's good.
On another note, I feel like I'm not losing again. :( Exercising is hard. By the time I get home I am literally pooped! My knees have been killing me from working. I've been stretching and all throughout the day trying to get something. Evenings are filling up now that the kids activities are in swing. I just meet myself coming and going.

Went to the first Saturday of the fair yesterday. Was worried about what to have for breakfast while everyone else had mini donuts. I handled it fine though. Wasn't really hungry alot that day so wasn't hard to stay away from all the food. I had a half a cup of watermelong and my turkey tenderloin on a stick. I skipped out treat of ice cream at night. Couldn't find anything that I could substitue it with. I was glad that they have sugar free lemonaide. Only at one stand though. I really think they need more around the fair. Look how many people are diabetic and can't have pop.
Anyway, so excited to find out I walked over 6 miles! Over 14,000 steps! Man I was sore though! Guess I'll wait and see what next Saturday will bring as it's our second day at the fair!

Went shopping today for school clothes for the kids. My mom and sis were with us. My daughter found this black tank top dress and thought I should try it on. And I found a short denim skirt. I usually, if I ever wear one, wear a long skirt. So I tried them on. Came out with the dress on and my mom was shocked! She said you can really tell you have lost in that dress! Still didn't like how it clung to my hips but it felt so good on. The skirt, I went down two sizes! And it looked great on me! So I got both! I can't wait to get to go shopping again. Waiting though as I don't want to buy too much until I really  need to.

Also came home and got my new FitBit in the mail today. Setting it up and charging it up and will start using it tomorrow. Hoping it will help me keep on track on my walking...

6 weeks out today. Had my yearly physical today also. Dr. was happy. 262! I'm so lose to 250! It's coming off slowly but surley. Couldn't do it by myself. Thank goodness for the sleeve!
Last summer, my A1C was 6.2 and I was diagnosed as diabetic. Today it is 5.2! Doctor was so happy with that!
Still trying to get protien in and all of my liquids. I'm doing my best so thats all I can do.
Didn't exercise today. Had an ingrown toenail removed and it is very sore! Hoping its better tomorrow as I don't want to go without exercising cause it will be tough for me to get back into it.
Went shopping with the kids yesterday. Thought I'd try on a smaller size outfit. Didn't work. :( Still got my belly and my breasts which cause me to have to get bigger clothes. Oh well,,,one day it will come. Just gotta keep thinking positive.

Overall, if this is all the weight I lose, the sleeve is still worth it. I feel so much better already! :)

Well, the week of vacation at the farm was a challenging one. First off, no ac! Man it was hot!!! One good thing about it being so hot I was drinking and drinking and had no problem getting my fluids in those days. :) 
Second, we went out to eat 5 times! I did good by ordering a hamburger or chicken. Shared some fish with hubby one night. Was hard to choose what to eat though. I so wanted something else. But I stuck to it and got what I should. Other times wasn't so hard as I did the cooking so I always had something in the meal I could eat. Not gonna say I didn't eat things I probably shouldn't have but I did limit it!
There were days I was so bored and sat thinking about getting something to eat. Yep, boredom and eating were one of my faults.
One thing I'm having now is "cravings" for warm soft choc. chip cookies...

So back to realtiy today. Got to get my butt into gear with walking, getting my protien in and doing a food log. Just not good at that. :(
