Today is my 6 year Sleeve Anniversary!
Today is my sleeve anniversary! Six years ago today. I can't believe it! My life has changed exponentially! I no longer hide at home, not wanting to go out, not traveling, not shopping--just going through life, but not really living my best life. I always felt like I was a thin person trapped in my big body. While I am not thin, I am 80 pounds lighter both in body and in mind. I credit so many things: my awesome surgeon and his team, this site and its great members. I can always come to this site and get what I need: that may be a little inspiration, or a good kick in the butt. This surgery gave me back what I didn't know I was missing and that is a healthy life. While I am certainly not perfect and me and 5 pounds still go back and forth from time to time, I know that my "sleevie" is still working when I work it. I'm so emotional today because when I think back to where I was and where I am now, all I can say is I am blessed.

Sally,
Checking on you and hoping you're doing well.
Re: Today is my 6 year Sleeve Anniversary!
Hi Kenson. I’m doing really well and thx for asking. I’m on soft foods now, back to driving and feeling very well. I get a little bit of heartburn sometimes but nothing to complain about and early days yet.
Re: Today is my 6 year Sleeve Anniversary!
Well done, you have done so well!
Re: Today is my 6 year Sleeve Anniversary!
How are you getting on sparkle ?
Re: Today is my 6 year Sleeve Anniversary!
Hi sally, I'm doing really well thanks. Went out gor dinner yesterday and just had some food from my families plates. There wasn't really anything suitable that i could eat, so i ended up having some steak pie filling and some sweet potato fries. Very difficult when going out at the moment. Something I'm sure gets a lot easier when you've had the sleeve longer. Im sure you would agree Kenson?
