Just introducing myself...

Jul 17, 2019

Hi all!  My name is Sue and I'm 53 years old, divorced, with 4 kids ages 18-26.  My sleeve surgery was 6/25/19 and I've lost 30lbs from pre-op diet until now.  I found this site while looking for answers after hitting a wall with weight loss for the past 1.5 weeks, and I'm so happy to find a community to talk with.  My kids have been great supporting me but I still feel like people dont understand what I'm going thru.  Aside from obvious health reasons, one of the deciding factors for my having surgery was "quality of life".  I'd lost the ability to focus on myself so I think, as my last child goes off to college in a month, putting "me first" has become my priority. A non-scale victory I'm working toward is to travel somewhere far away and be able to walk everywhere - from the airport to site-seeing, without pain or being out of breath! I've already been inspired by so many of your stories and hope to gain invaluable advice!
