I had my sleeve on October 23rd, 2012 and as of today, I am officially Overweight! YAY!!
I went from a BMI of 38.2 the first part of October, to 29.7 today.I have slowly but surely lost 59#, and I have 28# left to go. It has gotten a little harder now that my hunger has returned (to a lesser degree than pre-sleeve!), but it is still very managable. This is definitely do-able! My goal is to be to goal by August 1st.
I have sure appreciated all of the support from you on this forum, and am looking forward to getting to goal. I couldn't have done it without you all!
LOVE MY SLEEVE! LOVE YOU ALL, MY FELLOW SLEEVERS!
