Two years post op today. I am very happy with my decision. I once was shy and with drawn now I am out going more confident of my self. I exercise 3 times a week if I do not I start to gain a little. I have to watch for the rest of my life what I eat. I do weigh ever day to keep my self in check. I am able to make food decisions easy because when I am hungry I am able to think first knowing that 1/2 cup of cottage cheese will fill me feels great. I eat 3 or 4 oz of meat with just a little veggies on the side. I can eat 1/2 of a sandwich and a cup of soup and be full for hours. I am in school for medical business because after I get my degree I hope to work for a weight loss surgeon and help others on there journey. I can go on for ever. I love my sleeve and loving life now. Hope you all the best and if you need any thing just ask. I do not know it all but might be able to help you on your way in your journey.

My surgeon gave me the tool. Now it is up to me to use it right.

I am currently waiting for approval. But I must say, that stories like yours make this journey seem "real" and "reachable"! You look great and happy. Congrats on your "awe"-mazing weight loss!

Thanks for sharing.
I love reading posts from people who are so much farther out than myself.

Sometimes I think this is all a fluke and it will all go away soon but reading posts like this let me know it's for real.

thanks again,
