OVER HALF WAY THERE!!!!

Apr 19, 2014

I ALMOST BROKE OUT IN TEARS OF JOY FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE MY SURGERY. THIS WEEK I MADE IT OVER THE HALFWAY POINT. I KNOW NOW THAT I CAN REACH MY GOAL WEIGHT WITHIN A YEAR : ) Off with the caps lock now. This has been serious business. Once you can eat solid foods and have more food choices available to you, it is up to you how successful you are with your sleeve. If you decide to drink sugary beverages, milkshakes and eat ice cream or carby snacks regularly you can sabotage the whole thing. Solid foods are great because you can only eat very small portions at a time. I limit my carb intake and eat mostly lean proteins. Getting enough water is always a challenge in a busy hectic life, so I always keep my water bottle handy. I have gone from almost 270lbs (It hurts to say I ever was that big) to 207 lbs since December 11, 2013. I am feeling blessed and thankful to Jesus for His strength because I could not have done this without it. I was fortunate not to have any complications throughout the whole process. I will post some more pics next. God bless all of you on the terrible, wonderful journey to successful weight loss!
