I really thought something was wrong with me; although, my labs always come back great. I use an electric heating blanket in the winter and keep a small electric heater under my desk at work. This has helped me a lot to stay warm.
I was over forty when I got sleeved. I have lost over 136 pounds and weigh 126 pounds. I am in year 2 and have surpassed my 150 pound weight goal.
Good Morning!

Can you share what an average day looks like? Do you track calories too? Thanks again!
I had RNY in 2007. Without Weigh****chers, I would not have kept the weight off. I attend online meetings almost every day. Their virtual meeting format has improved immensely since COVID. I am carrying about 12 pounds over my goal weight, but the support from WW helps me to stay on plan. The amazing thing about WW is that I can eat anything as long as I count the points. I never feel any form of being deprived and that makes all the difference.
