I swore I would never go back to being 289lbs, which was horrible for me since I'm only 5'0. My weight loss was slow. I got down to 209lbs and stopped losing. I never got to onederland.

I am really happy today. I am 4 months post op and down 47lbs. I am almost half way to my goal. I had not bought any clothes at all. But, it got to the point where although I was losing weight, I was getting frustrated because nothing fit. Then, I looked at it on the bright side. The clothes didn't fit because they were too big. Even my bras and underwear were big. I didn't know what size I was. Over the years as I gained my weight, I developed a dislike for shopping. Today I decided to get over

I don't think I

In my last blog I stated I had lost 30 lbs. That number was including the weight I had lost during the pre op diet. Since surgery I have actually lost 20 lbs. Now, with that being said, I believe I am ruining everything. I find that although I have this wonderful tool, I still have the same habits creeping up on me. Granted I don't eat the same ridiculous amount of food at each sitting but I pick. I was doing ok watching what I ate but i can eat almost anything I want. Today I had a slice of pizza.

Today I went for my 6 week post op check up. Dr. says I am doing well. I have not experienced any issues regarding my sleeve, which I'm so happy about. I can eat almost anything in moderation as long as they're good healthy choices. My sleeve helps me know when it is time to stop. I do not deprive myself if there is something that the family is eating I take a tablespoon just to taste. I am very happy with my decision. Even hubby, of whom some of you know was not supportive prior to surgery, has
