Well, its been 6 months and I am 20lbs away from my goal. This is unbelieveable! I feel great! I look great! I get compliments on a daily basis. They actually call me "The Disappearing Woman" at work. My biggest challenge right now is getting to my goal weight despite constant criticism from others about losing more. Everyone thinks I should stop now. Everyone says that I will be "too skinny" if I keep going but I set a goal and I plan to stick with it.

Its been exactly 3 weeks since my gastric sleeve surgery. This road has not been an easy one for me. My hospital stay following surgery was 6 days. The pain medicine made me nauseous and vomit so it was day 5 before I was even allowed to have liquids. 3 days after going home I was re-admitted for another 5 days due to dehydration. Its been just over a week since being discharged the second time and I feel great. I am really concentrating on getting my liquids and protein in. I am on my second week of full liquids and I am looking forward to soft solids. I've started working out with a personal trainer and working out feels great. As of last Thursday, I've lost  20lbs and I am looking forward to more weight loss to come.
