5 weeks out and it is official..
It's official. I love my sleeve. No regrets. Yes I would do it again in a heart beat!
I have no idea how much I have lost as I am waiting until my Aug 15th follow up. However, the NSV (non scale victories) are occurring constantly. I love the way I feel, the energy I have, the way my life is not revolving around food all the time, and the compliments are icing on the cake...ooops did I say cake?!
It amazes me how I feel full just afer a 1/4 a cup of meat. I can't wait to see how much I have lost. However, even if I turn out to be a slow loser, I don't care, this was still the best path for me.
I wore heels today!!! Low heels but heels!!!! None of my clothes fit and I am changing sizes so fast. I started out as a 5X (32/34) and now I am wearing size 26 and even some 24s. I LOVE MY SLEEVE!!
Now my sister is trying to get approved for the surgery. I hope and pray that everything goes as well for her as it has for me. I want nothing more than for her to have the success I am. It is so freaking awesome!!

It IS an amazing journey, isn't it?! Even when the scale does not seem to be moving our bodies are still changing. What fits one day is too big the next.
I thought I was a slow loser but my boss put it into perspective for me today -- I have lost 44 lbs total since starting my pre-op diet 5/15. She has been dieting and lost 40 lbs in ONE YEAR!
I hope yur sister gets approved soon. I have no doubt she will be successful with your example to follow.
Congratulations on all your successes!

Thrilled for you Amy and I hope your sis has sucess in her quest.
Amy - I am so happy you are passed the "what the heck has I done" stage! It is such a wonderful, crazy, amazing journey! I find you so inspirational. I saw your sweet little face this morning in my garage when I wanted to weigh. I though of your cute smile and was able to "JUST SAY NO"!
I pray that Camille will get a surgery date soon. Can't we campaign for her tomorrow with Keller about support group stuff? I'll attack with you if you like!
