- I have had a gastric sleeve.
- Biography:
- July 23, 2013 - I am considering the gastric sleeve surgery and meeting with the surgeon for the first time on Thursday. I am definitely overweight, but have been blessed to have no health issues yet. But I'm hoping this surgery will help me avoid future health concerns and also help me to continue to progress with my weekly workout routine & improve on 5k's

Loving the "new" life
by perkymander on 03-04-2014 at 07:38 PM
So I just celebrated my 40th b'day 2 weeks ago, my goal was to be under 200 and I didn't make it BY my b'day but I did 3 days later. I have always been very healthy, even being over 270 for years, I never had health issues, but I finally decided to get a physical (now that I'm 40) and was a little anxious about the results of the blood work. What a relief it was to hear that everything was great, except the iron. My iron is low, but that's ok, I will take some slow release iron. If that's my
6 Month Anniversary
by perkymander on 02-19-2014 at 09:37 PM
Well today is my 6 month anniversary! I have to say I still have absolutely NO REGRETS other than I wish I had done this sooner. I am loving the new self. I'm down 75lbs. Tomorrow is my 40th b'day and I am probably smaller now than I was in high school. It feels so good. I was hoping to be in the Onederland by my b'day but I'll take 202. I'm having a candy theme party (yes, I don't have kids, so I make my parties a big to do since I don't have kids to spoil). Not sure that candy was the
Surviving the holidays
by perkymander on 12-04-2013 at 08:23 PM
I was really happy I survived Thanksgiving. I was curious to see how I would do, and it's actually such a great feeling no longer living to eat. I ofcourse had a little bit of the "good" food for Turkey Day but I had no desire to over do it. I am 3 1/2 month post op, and still loving it. I LOVE cleaning out my closet every couple weeks and enjoying looking in the mirror. For anyone wondering if they should have the surgery, from my experience, I highly recommend this. Food is finally
Feeling So Proud
by perkymander on 11-11-2013 at 04:05 PM
I am 3 months post surgery & today I reached a milestone - 50.5 lbs GONE!! I am not wearing size 16 & 18 pants. I've tried to lose weight many times before, the diet doctor was the most "successful" but I have never been this weight. I am so proud right now... I can't believe I waited so long to decide to have this surgery, and I recommend it to anyone if you're ready. It's worth it. I have NO REGRETS. Ok, I won't lie, the first week I was tired and slept a lot so that wasn't
Feeling Good
by perkymander on 09-06-2013 at 02:57 PM
So I am almost 3 weeks post op (8/19) and last weekend I went ahead & started venturing a tiny bit and nibbled on a little bit of real food. Even this week I had a VERY small piece of fried venison. I know I'm not supposed to but other than a little heartburn I have had no issues. I am eating very little, and still sticking to soup for lunch & protein shake for b'fast. But with the LoseIt app, it's been really helpful. I honestly don't even really crave anything right now. Even going
