I had the gastric sleeve 12-31-13. I was very active in these forums because from the moment I opened my eyes after surgery, I knew I had made a mistake. Maybe I chose the wrong surgery center, maybe it is because I am bi-polar, but opening my eyes to a world of fog and being told to "walk it off" when I couldn't even stand without getting light-headed...well, lets just say

So, life has been crazy and I have been gone for a really long time. I promise, the second I get FIVE minutes to sit down and update people I will!
The title is the name of a small group that I started on Facebook. I have found that many people (on this site and others), aren't very kind about those of us who don't love our sleeve, who regret our surgery, and who need extra help to get through this.

I am back from my trip to Florida. The morning I left (3/10) I was 183 and the morning after I got back (3/18) I was 181.4. I was disappointed because I was working out, walking, and moving SO MUCH while i was in Florida. I kind of just sighed and accepted it as a loss (Hey, a pound and a half isn't bad at all and I know it!) and moved on...
This morning, I weighed in at 177!!! I lost 4 pounds in 4 days! I don't expect that to continue but it was just such a surprising thing to see.

So, I have officially lost 40 pounds...and I only have 43 pounds to goal. Now, I am only nine weeks out AND I am 5' 7.75". I have a very bad feeling that I am going to go underweight before I stop losing.
My doctors didn't anticipate this, I didn't anticipate this, and frankly...it worries me. I am enjoying the four sizes down and it seems like there is almost a daily NSV...
Like yesterday. I was at the grocery

If you have followed my blogs, you know that things have been rough with my surgeons office. I accidentally missed my last appointment and I think that may have been for the best.
Life is crazy busy right now anyhow. I am getting ready to release book #3, my house is on the market, I leave for my trip to Florida in a few weeks, and I am trying to get pre-approved for a loan before I get to Florida so I can look at houses while I am down there.
My Bi-Polar is FINALLY
