Well today is exactly 4 months since my surgery, what a great ride it has been. Im down 88lbs and feel so good I cant even explain. I dont think I could have ever hoped or dreamed I would be this far along in such a short time.
My Birthday is Sunday and I sure hope my body gives me a birthday present in the form of losing 2 more lbs before then.
I tried on my Santa suit for Christmas and it doesnt even come close to fitting me anymore. I have been joking about the company having to purchase a new belly for me for Christmas to do the Santa thing but not only will they have to do that but that really large suit needs alterations also now. The pants only have elastic and litteraly fall off of me without holding them up Yay!!!
Oh well I just wanted to chime in and let everyone know how awesome this whole journey is so far.

Re: 4 Month Anniversary
This has made me smile so much. Well done. I was just reading about surgeries that have gone wrong and started getting worried, hoping that i wont be one of the people that get complications. Iv set my heart on doing as well as everyone on here. I'm determined to work to the book before and after, so hopefully i will do just fine. Congratulations..you have every right to shout it from the rooftops

Re: 4 Month Anniversary
Yay Buddy! Your success is inspiring! before you know it you'll be celebrating 100 lbs!
Best NSV - fitting on a kid's amusement park ride with my 4 yr old grandson!
CFIDS =Chronic Fatigue Syndrome) Also dx with post-bariatric reactive hypoglycemia; and chronic gastritis (both sleeve complications). Permanently disabled.
Start weight 335, down to 218, up during gastritis. Have accepted there is no way to lose it with my hypoglycemia. Current weight 260. Currently doing 10 day sleeve reset and determined to get back down to my post surgical weight or close to it.

Re: 4 Month Anniversary
Happy Anniversary and Happy Birthday 2....my birthday is Sunday as well. My weight is coming off much slower than I hoped but I'm OK with that...What's important is how I feel today verses how I felt prior to the surgery....WONDERFUL!

Way to go, Bud! As the economy is in such poor shape, Santa has some belt tightening to do anyway!
Best,

Re: 4 Month Anniversary
Oh Buddy---my heart is so very happy for you---What an honor it is to share this joy with you, thank you. And thank you for being a strong part of this sleeve family. When wonderful things that happen to us are shared---the joy is multiplied. When our sad or bad things are shared--USUALLY the load becomes much less. We are in this together---sharing both victory and defeat. Blessings and hugs---Connie
I always thought that life should be like this, part of the process of learning---what a blessing that we can reach out to each other.
I remember the first pair of jeans that literally fell to the floor---my thought was ARE YOU KIDDING???? yep---I screamed it!!! My husband ran into the bedroom and started laughing and said, "THROW THOSE AWAY!!!"
