I feel like I have adjusted to "sleeved" life now and eating 3 oz at a meal seems normal to me.  Now restaurant portions seem HUGE to me, even though I used to clean the plate every time.  My sleeve is still treating me well, no puking, no foamies. thank goodness. 

On to the fun stuff!

I am now down 47 pounds since surgery! I was really wanting to hit 50 by the 3 month mark, but I know I will be there soon! 

I have also taking monthly measurements and I have lost 29 inches (8 in my chest alone!)! I am down at least 2 pants sizes, 1 shirt size and was finally able to fit into a pair of tall wide calf boots. I'm have so much more confidence now, it's crazy.  I am so used to feeling like the biggest person in the room and I am slowly moving towards normal.  I still feel a little uncomfortable at the gym sometimes, but before I wouldn't even go I was so embarrassed, so it's still a victory in my book!

Yes..absolutely..have to post those before and after pictures to inspire us pre sleevers even more. :)  I think you're doing a great job.  You have me trying to imagine myself 47 pounds lost and I just can't picture it.  You give me hope and inspiration. :) Thanks.
