24 lbs lost pre-op. My name is Cheryl, and I'm a Sleever!
100 lbs lost by five months.
Officially half way to my goal at six months! yay!
Thanks for the encouragement! I am pretty scared - biggest surgery was removal of my wisdome teeth. My kids are adopted, so not even pregnancy. Also, weired out by rearranging my insides. As a practically life-long OA'er (since 26) a big part of me feels like I *still* should be able to do this w/o surgery, but I feel like I will die trying if I go that route. I can put together months and months of abstinent eating, lose 40 or 50 pounds, then "fall off the wagon." I don't get back into the sugar, but I can't pull out on my own. That part is very discouraging, and admitting defeat in the traditional "OA" approach is a big part of my hesitancy.
Losing my mom was a very big deal (duh), really weighs on me as I get into my 50s. We think she had a heart attack or aneurysm. It was quite sudden.
:) Happy
