Loving my sleeve!
Hi All:
Things have been psycho busy and I have not had much opportunity to visit the forum. It has been over 2 months since my surgery and I have lost over 50lbs since I started the pre-op fast. Since surgery I lost 36 pounds. My weight loss is about 2 lbs per week which is great by me. I am not trying to be pessimistic and waiting for the other show to drop but I am worried that this is all too good to be true. I have never been able to get any thinner than I am right now so I am wondering if I will hit the wall again and never get any lower. I also am anxious to get lower so I can experience what that feels and looks like. So far I cannot express how much my energy level has improved. It seems that whatever I am able to consume is immediately converted to energy and is released into my system. I am not sluggish at all. I still have some issues eating dense protein like chicken or fish and I still throw up at times if something hits my stomach and it seizes up. There are times when my sleeve likes eggs or does not. It is a hit or miss thing. I am still amazed that I am never hungry. Only complaint I have is that I also have not had the time to get out to exercise as much as I would like but I hope that will change. I am anxious to hear how everyone else is doing. I see Dr. Savoie and his team again on March 6th so I hope to be down even further by then. My biggest goal now is the get to a lower weight by summer so I can wear shorts and not scare little children :LOL :)

Hi everyone!
Yes I would love to run with you sometime. I actually just came back from a 6k run and I can't tell you how much more energy I have than before. It is miraculous really. I go for my long runs on Sundays so I can meet you to run some Sunday.
I have some pictures and I can take some new pictures if I can coax my husband to do it for me and post them. I had troubles doing it myself and he is more tech savvy than I am. Believe me I am still a big girl so it is not that attractive. I am starting to notice more defintiion in my body and I found that I actually have hip bones. I never knew that I had those bones because I was so fat for so long.
Too bad we won't have the same appointment Kim. I was so looking forward to seeing you again. Well we will still have to stay in touch.
