Away we go!!!

Here are some picks to show how far I have come since November 16, 2010.  I will forever be grateful for my lap band surgery.  Now I'm even more grateful for my revision to the sleeve.  I'm 47 pounds away from my goal.  My journey started in November 2010.  I started at 311 lbs.  As of Sunday I'm 232.4 lbs.  Many people always say...well you could have done that without surgery. I can honestly say...NO I COULD NOT!!! The first group of photos were taken the day before surgery, at the six month mark and finally at the 1 year mark.  The photos in the red dress were taken on
January 27, 2013.

Now thats progress! You are beautiful!!! Love that dress! I'm curious how life is different with the sleeve as opposed to the band? Do you ever get stuck? How much can you eat at a time? Inquiring minds want to know.

That is so awesome! There's a woman at my gym who had weight loss surgery and she said some people get upset when you tell them you had surgery to lose weight, I told her it doesn't matter, do what works for you! She has kept her goal weight for three years and counting. Kudos to you!
