Before the surgery, I was scared. Scared of the side effects, of not being happy to eat what I wanted. Scared I would blow it and eat too much anyway and gain it back. Scared I would not get down below 200 even. Scared it would take forever. Well...
It IS taking longer than I'd hoped, but I don't follow a strict diet. Seems no matter how strict I am, it, pauses for long periods and does spurts where I lose. Right now I'm losing quickly and not working out as much and not eating perfect--go figure. There hasn't been any magic formula. I limit my breads/rices/pastas and eat less sugar than I used to. I exercise a lot. and even enjoy it..weird. I don't feel deprived. And I'm sooo happy!! 80 lbs down and it's a whole new life. Guys up to 20 years younger than me crush on me which is so much fun! I got rid of the emotional burden of being heavy and am able to be myself. I dress cuter and fix my hair and nails again. I love who I am.
I would never change my decision to have the sleeve done. I would only have done it earlier!!
