I have zero and I mean zero complaints or regrets about my amazing sleeve. However... I hope the day comes when I can eat more than two chicken wings!!! I was told that in about a years time my stomach should be at the point of my max food capacity and know what a "meal" will be for me. Well... Tomorrow is month 11 and TWO chicken wings... Really? I'm gonna have to eat multiple times a day to maintain my weight so I don't keep losing. I seriously for real do NOT wanna lose any more pounds or inches.
This has been an interesting journey. I've seen some of us not exercise at all, some of us exercise our butts off etc... Me personally I have hardly exercised at all. Occasionally I do but I decided that I didn't wanna start something that I knew darn well that I probably wouldn't stick to and have to keep it up to keep my weight off or get it off. Whatever I am doin is workin! My husband is finally bringing me my treadmill from one of our houses that a lot of our stuff is stored in and I'm honestly concerned about using it because I do not wanna lose more weight. My labs say I'm healthy even without working out... So... Do I fix what isn't broken and working? Decisions... My doctor is surprised at how healthy I am knowing I don't exercise. I don't sit on my butt either. I keep my house clean, take care of my pets etc...
I'm still losing between .2 to .5 lbs a week (a full pound every now and then). So... I apparently need to be able to eat more to maintain. The times I "think" I'm maintaining are the two weeks before my menstrual cycle decides to join me. After that comes and goes back to weight loss!!!
This became more of a post than I originally planned but it's all on my mind.
About a week ago I finally told everyone about my surgery. My sister has decided to have the same surgery and I wanted her to have as much family support as possible so I spilled my secret journey. Also... Some of my husbands family was making accusations about me bein anorexic so I had to set them straight. I surprisingly had more support and positive feedback than I ever expected. It feels simply amazing!
During this journey my amazing husband has lost 103 lbs with me helping make his food choices. No surgery for him!!! I'm so proud of him!!!
Ok... I think I've said enough for now!
