I've been gone for awhile. I just wanted to let you all know I'm doing ok. I'm about 2.8 pounds from goal. This surgery works that's all I can say. If you do what you need to do. Don't push your sleeve! Just don't do it. I never have and still have a great deal of restriction. I can eat about four onces now at almost eighteen months out. Things have been extremely hard for me emotionally but the sleeve is still working. It's exactly what I needed. Resisting the urge to binge eat is difficult but my sleeve stops me every time and I'm still losing weight. I do eat protein first still most of the time. I have been way too down for exercise. Still hanging on though. This has to be the best choice I've ever made. I started at size 28 (very tight) not at size 8.

2.8lbs. from GOAL !!!!!! (that's goal in my book)

So awesome......!!!!

The road is longer for us SMO's

For you to stay on the path for all your going through is..... well, quite amazing and a testament to your commitment.

Some people go off track when the wind blows...... myself included.

Nothing but respect to you......!
