185 lbs Gone! Out of the 400's, Out of the 300's!

Jul 20, 2015

What a ride this has been! Words cannot describe how much better I feel at 293! Truth be told if I fail to lose another pound this has been well worth it. For those who followed me pre op and immediately post op my apologies for being gone so long. Life has improved so much, I find myself active and not finding a few minutes to post updates. I still have a way to go before I am where I want to be, but I must say I am happy now and will keep pushing.

Now let's pay it forward....

To those who are new to this being researching, pre op, or fresh post op....

1. What are you waiting for, DO IT! You won't regret it in the least.

2. Follow your pre op diet and post op diets to the tee.... It will save you a lot of grief in the long run.

3. Post op, once you learn your sleeve and how it behaves... stick with it.

4. Diet is a cuss word! I still eat what I want, just not as much and with discretion. Trust me it is easier to have a little sliver of pizza or cake than it is to feel deprived. Just use some common sense with it, protein first, treat later, and not every day either.

5. Stop eating before you body says it's full, trust me on this.... puking and the foamies suck!

6. Water Water Water

7. Eat slow and savor your food, I find I actually enjoy food even more now than I ever have.

8. Stalls happen, and weight loss will most likely be stair stepped, don't stress or be hard on yourself, it will come off.

Hopefully, I will be able to come on and chat more often. Miss you guys, and hope everyone is enjoying their journey as I have.
