It's been a while since I have posted anything. I do try to comment on others posts just to be supportive. I just was too excited today - I fit into my size 12 pants that I bought last year on my last diet that I NEVER got back into. I am now smaller that I was before I was pregnant with my youngest - and he is 14 going on 15!! I am 2 months out and 35lbs down. I am so happy and have so much more energy.

Ok, so when I was researching before my surgery I read everything I could and swore that I would log my experience for others...I have been lazy and am just getting around to it - I was sleeved Oct 17th in Tijuana, Mexico.

I have been feeling great since the surgery, but today I got up and I have been out of breath doing ANYTHING. I am so exhausted and just want to sit here. Not sure what is going on. I am getting protein and water in. I do have a sore throat, so I am praying I don't get sick - I am hoping that all my running around (errands and such) have just caught up to me and I just will rest today....
