Well, I've made it to the century club as of this week.  I started this journey weighing in at 313 pounds, and between my 10 days of preop liquids and getting my sleeve, I am down 100 pounds.  Simply amazing!!!  Next stop, onederland!

Pros- nearly everything.  I feel smaller, healthier, more energetic, more in control.  I am just more comfortable in my own skin, less self conscious.

Cons- yes, I have excess skin and my hair is falling out, but I knew that going in and it far from negates all the positives I've experienced so far.

I also had a couple NSVs this weekend while out shopping.  I was able to wear tall boots (yes, they were wide calf, but I couldn't even wear those before) and they looked cute, and I am down to a 16-18 from a 26-28 last May.  Woot!

Wow. Wow. Wow!  How FABULOUS you look!  So crazy, since I see you most every week. The before and after are indeed a great picture of how far you have come. I just love seeing you on Saturdays, and am honored that I get to walk down your path with you. Keep up the most awesome work!  BTW-I have been packing 3 days of food to take with me on Monday, just so I can have the option of "mood" eating. Thanks for the great tip! (It is also very weird to see a full bag of food in the fridge. Kinda creeps me out, but by Wednesday, it's back to the bits and pieces that I am more accustomed to seeing.)

All the best,

MM

Isn't it just MIND-BLOWING that it's possible to lose 100# in under 6 months?  Without a full-time personal trainer and a tv crew following you around???

Congrats - keep it going, it just keeps getting better!

Thanks, everybody.  I am so lucky to have been able to get my sleeve, and to have met you all in the process.  I'm very grateful for the SOTR coffee group that keeps me connected and on track- see you in the morning!
