    Yes, June 30th is my date! My emotions are still all over the board. One day total elation, can't wait to have it, the next, ready to call it off bc of all the things that could go wrong!! I actually get a sick feeling in my stomach on those days and think why can't I do this without surgery!! Even though I've had to work hard to keep my weight in check (unsuccessfully most of the time) I haven't been morbidly obese until the last 4 years. The task of losing seems insurmountable without this tool to help me. However, I'm freaking removing 80% or more of my stomach!! lol I feel like I've lost my mind sometimes then I read all the success stories and I so want to be on that side of the losers bench! I just wish I could keep my mind for rolling over and over and over all this. I've made a decision and it's time to put on my big girl pants and DO THIS THANG!! LOL

    You asked how my eating was going. I am starting to eat like a normal person in my choices. I eat a very small amount. I try to eat the protein first and maybe a few bites of salad. I usually have a protein drink for breakfast. For dinner it's usually a yogurt. I really don't eat much and it's probably not enough. Working on it.

    Hi! I've started close to your SW and looks like my goal is close to yours. I'm 8 weeks out and it's a slow go. I'm 31 pounds down. Hope to follow in your footsteps.

7 Month update with pic

by girliegirl777 on 04-27-2014 at 04:57 PM


This week I celebrated my 7 month surgery anniversary by running in my first 10k. I mostly walked. ! It felt great and I'm so happy to be turning into the athlete that I always wanted to be.

I also had an appointment with my surgeon on Thursday for my six month follow up. The blood work was all great and the nurse told me my BMI is now in the overweight range, "like the rest of us". It made me laugh, but I'm also really happy

Six Month Update

by girliegirl777 on 03-31-2014 at 11:24 PM


Last week, I celebrated my six month sleeve surgery anniversary and wanted to share my progress and lessons learned. Having this surgery was the best decision I have made in my life and it is easy to forget where I was a few short months ago.

For some background, I didn't struggle with weight growing up and was a pretty active child playing basketball and going to aerobics (hey, it was the 80's). My parents were both very good cooks

5 month check in

by girliegirl777 on 03-02-2014 at 01:33 PM
I had surgery on 9/25/13 and wanted to post some information about progress and learnings to date. The first few months were challenging for me mainly because I was so tired all the time. Things started to get a lot better in month three and I started to exercise more frequently which has helped with my stamina and energy level. Here are some of the biggest benefits.

Improved Relationships
The relationships that I have with the people in my life has improved across the board.
