Greetings my fellow sleevers.  Today is my 7 month surgiversary.  I'm happy to report that I am a bit below my goal weight, which is nice.  It is much easier to eat now, so I'll have to be more vigilant to not overeat.  Currently I eat about 800-1000 cal a day.  Over 70 grams protein and around 40 grams carbs.  I have my really good days, sometimes followed by a few bad days (peanut butter is my heroin).  I'm trying to get my head to a place where I can say I've lost enough, but my head's not there yet.  I've gone from a size 22W to a 7Junior, which is too big, but I don't have anything smaller.  I love the smaller me.  My health is much better.  No HTN or cholesterol problems.  My osteoarthritis is loads better, the rheumatoid is unchanged.  Would I do it again?  Yes.  In a heartbeat.  So here're some before and afters.  Best Wishes!

Congratulations, Marie!!! Kudos to you for wearing a bathing suit. That is something that I won't be able to do, because of skin issues. You have done a great job.

Alright Marie!!

Wow you are only 7 months out!  Great job!

You look so pretty, your features in your face really came out with your weight loss.

I love your bathing suit, I bought one from VS that looks almost the same, but different colours.

You look great, and I love the before & after pics.

It gets worse with the peanut butter.  I used to eat Peter Pan Honey Roasted.  Now I've discovered Naturally More with flax.  Oh My Gosh, ******ic!    Could explain why I'm fat!!!

 You look like you lost a hundred pounds and twenty years.  You look great.  It is hard to believe that that first picture is you just a little over half a year ego.  Wow.
