It has been a whole month since my gastric sleeve! I have not had one moment of regret! My energy has improved, but I am worn out whenever I got to the gym. I actually have been getting 7-8 hours of sleep on average this past week so that is a huge improvement!!!

I am basically still on liquid proteins, and have been introducing new foods some agree, and other have not agreed with me altogether. I may have something today, then if I try the next day again or later in the week, it grosses me out. Needless to say, I have picked up take out, and each time I have only eaten a couple of tablespoons from it. I got a bad stomach ache from spicy tuna the second time I ate it (note don't eat day old sushi!)

Since I didn't start measuring until about three weeks ago, I do not know how much I have lost since pre-op, but I can tell you that yesterday going through my clothes I found a pair of Juicy Couture Size L velour lounge pants I hadn't worn in like forever!!! and only wore once or twice before I outgrew them. If you are familiar with that brand they made them below the navel, and even back when I did wear them, I had a muffin top. Well, I put them on and no muffin top! They fitted perfect! My size 14's jeans are fitting perfect too! What this means I have gone down 2 (TWO) possibly three dress sizes!!! I remember the last time I went shopping size 18's were very snug and the dress room helper said they did not have a bigger size in this outfit, and brought me 20's which I refused to try and walked away depressed!

Drum roll....
